Relaxing.
Sounds simple enough.
But for me, an Adhder, it isn’t. I can unclench my jaw and drop my shoulders, but I still feel tense. I feel like there’s still things that I must do and I can't just “wait until tomorrow to do it”.
I may be physically exhausted but mentally, my mind's running a million thoughts a minutes. My brain knows there’s still things that need to be done, but I haven't done not one thing.
I can lounge on the couch and look at my phone for hours but I'm still not relaxed. Taking a break isn't exactly in vocabulary, so I either do it now or take to long to do it.
I just don't know how to relax if I'm not physically doing something

Time
It's unfair how it passes by me.
Once Time is gone I have to find where
Sometimes, I just want time to follow my plan for once.
It runs as fast as the Earth spins.
I can never truly catch up and slow it down.
It takes effort to teach myself patience.
To not run after something I cannot catch,
Time is in my control as many times as I can
get it to be.
I hold it by the reins as it takes off at light
speed Into a dark tunnel.
I see nothing, but once we emerge I then realise
how much time I let slip from my hands.
The distance I travelled I can’t get back.
Scattered pieces of my memory run along with it.
Out of mind, out of sight they say.
It’s true.
I don’t even see the clock move sometimes.
When I look up, three hours went by just like that.
I didn’t notice, I should have.
And when I do notice time moving, it’s so slow, it’s unbearable.
I wish it would run right past me to hurry things along.
But I can’t, I have to harness it and calm it down.
Calm it down so I can finally see ahead.
I’ve only been able to see what is here and now.
I can’t see yesterday or tomorrow.
Here and now is where I am, then and there is where the time is.
The future and the past are invisible to my eye.
Only the present is right in front of me.
The present is someplace where I always am.
But at the same time it isn’t the only thing I want to see.

And when the urge to do something hits, you just go out and Create something, anything. It's that really creative imaginative side that takes over & next thing you know, you just recreated New York City with Legos!
One more(is what I say lol), you’re personality makes the room light up like a disco ball. Not everyone with Adhd/autism has the same type of traits, but that’s what makes us cool. Your personality is radiant, brighter than Crest & the skin of the people who use Proactive.
Okay last one, you also like to think outside the box, unless you thought in a new angle inside the box. You bring a new perspective to many different things & are adamant about your ideologies, beliefs, thoughts, opinions, etc.

Okay let's be positive today, a upside to Adhd/add/autism is being so very passionate about stuff. You invest your time into learning things & you want to discuss that because whatever that thing is you like, it brings you joy. Same thing with special interests. Whatever it is that you like and makes you feel happy is most important.
Another thing, lots of us are risk takers, (I don’t think before I do many things anyways) but we like to jump at the chance for an adrenaline rush.
Also, feeling proud of yourself. When you accomplish that one thing & you just get that rush to your head like “wow, I just did that, big smile, happy stim etc”.
You’re an honest friend, keeping a secret is something simple(especially if you forgot the secret yo were supposed to keep). A walk in the park; your attention to detail is better than a microscope, you notice things when others are like, “huh? what dot?”. And you communicate in your own way, and when others understand it just makes the world a little better.

Dsps means Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome and it means that you're sleep is delayed by two hours or more and you have a harder time waking up at the desired time you want.

Alt-text: [Start text: Is DPS related to ADHD? Prevalence of ADHD
Some scientists now believe that Adhd and DSPS are linked and believe that an estimated 73-78% of children and adults with adhd also have dsps. In recent years, scientists have begun investigating whether treating dsps in people with comorbid adhd and dsps improves adhd symptoms. End text]
Tumblr media
Alt-text: [Start text: Can ADHD lead to bipolar?
Research studies show that about 70% percent of people with the condition also have adhd, and that 20% percent of people with adhd will develop Bipolar Disorder. The tragedy is that, when the disorders co-occur, the diagnoses are often missed. It can take up to 17 years for patients to receive a diagnosis of BD. End Text]
And this is why I have insomnia 😴
Tumblr media
Alt-text [Start text: Does Adhd interfere with sleep?
Adults with adhd rarely fall asleep easily, sleep soundly through the night, and then wake up feeling refreshed. More often, Adhd's mental and physical restlessness disturbs a person's sleep patterns -- and the ensuing exhaustion hurts overall health and treatment. End text]
Comorbid means that medical conditions or diseases are present in a patient together
Tumblr media
Alt-text: [Start text: Is OCD comorbid with ADHD?
OCD and ADHD are distinct but also comorbid disorders that can share similar symptoms, behaviors, and outcomes -- for opposing reasons. This overlap can complicate diagnosis and treatment for patients with both conditions. End text]

Everyone's favorite, rsd!
Tumblr media
Alt-text: [Start text: Is RSD a symptom of ADHD?
RSD is, in fact, a common ADHD symptom. When this emotional response is externalized, it looks like an impressive, instantaneous rage at the person or situation responsible for causing the pain. End text]
And for fun because I got carried away
Tumblr media
Alt-text: [Start text: What is happening in the brain of someone with ADHD?
Brain development is also slower in people with ADHD. The neural pathways don’t connect and mature at the same rate, making it harder to pay attention and focus. The can impair executive function, which handles organization and routine tasks. ADHD impacts brain chemistry too. End text]

Adhd is getting distracted from what you’re doing and hours later you realize that you were supposed to be doing something else instead of jumping down the Google rabbit hole of interesting things

Y'all wanna hear some short stories? Okay here goes on from when I was in 4th grade. Be advised this features vom*t.
tldr: I was thrown up on during my 4th-grade graduation ceremony thing
We were doing this little graduation ceremony on stage of the lunchroom and my classmate's parents and whatnot were there watching. We were singing Twinkle twinkle little star or something and while I'm doing the hand motions for that I feel something drip on the back of my ankle. Thinking nothing of it I wipe it off with my other foot. Next thing I know the boy behind me throws up on me ew. I sent to the nurse to cleaned up and a fresh pair of clothes. When my parents came and got me my teacher had the audacity to tell me I did a terrible job like what's your problem.
This next story was when I was in fifth grade. Be advised this features blood.
tldr: I was traumatized by my blood-stained shorts
I wore a pair of khaki shorts that day and when through my daily fifth-grade routine. I went to school, did my work, played with my best guy friend Benjamin at the playground(I think that was his name), and switched classes next door. I rode carpool so at the end of the day my mom comes and picks me up, we ride home, and while I get out the car my mom said I had a stain on my shorts and I was like okay let me change them. I get to the room, remove my shorts & guess what? There was a bloodstain on the back of my shorts and I was so traumatized I never khaki shorts again. Seriously. To this day I only wear dark-colored shorts/pants and if I wear anything lighter I make sure I'm not going anywhere.
