Today I overheard a convo of people talking about ADHD saying everyone has it and it's just how the brain works...
Tumblr media
Almost everyone has trouble concentrating. That's not ADHD.
"ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that can cause attention difficulties, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Research suggests that imbalances of neurotransmitters, such as dopamine".
Reducing ADHD to just trouble concentrating is inaccurate and quite ignorant. Some symptoms I have:
Hyperactivity and Impulsivity: Being unable to sit still, especially in calm or quiet surroundings, constantly fidgeting, being unable to concentrate on tasks, excessive physical movement, excessive talking, being unable to wait their turn, acting without thinking, interrupting conversations, little or no sense of danger.
——————
Hyperfocus: Happens when a person becomes so absorbed in an activity that they tune out to everything around them. This usually occurs when the person is engaging in something they find fun, rewarding, and stimulating.
——————
Hyperfixation: Intense focus on a single subject may cause you to spend more time and energy on it than you intend to. If left unchecked, hyperfixation can lead to negative consequences and disrupt your day-to-day functioning.
——————
ADHD Paralysis: When a person with ADHD is overwhelmed by their environment or the amount of information given. As a result, they freeze and aren’t able to think or function effectively. This makes it challenging for the individual to focus and complete their tasks—including urgent ones.
——————
Emotional Dysregulation: Experiencing emotions so deeply that they become overwhelmed or “flooded.” One may feel joy, anger, pain, or confusion in a given situation—and the intensity may precede impulsive behaviors they regret later.
——————
Executive Dysfunction: A term used to describe faults or weaknesses in the cognitive process that organizes thoughts and activities, prioritizes tasks, manages time efficiently, and makes decisions. (I wouldn't say I experience this, but it's really common).
And if you know you don't have ADHD and think this is all relatable, remember the extent.
It's a disordser. I'm sure people without ADHD struggle a lot with some of these, but they do not have a biological difference that causes them. There's a difference between struggling with something and having a disorder.
——————
It has medical treatment, as s disorder. There are 3 different types of medicine that are prescribed by professional doctors. If you know you don't have ADHD, you cannot take it. Just like medicine for any other disorder.
A few not-so-fun statistics about people with ADHD:
Percent of children with ADHD who had at least one other disorder:
Tumblr media
[The facts below are taken from Cross River Therapy]
About 10% of people with ADHD a substance use disorder regarding alcohol or drugs.
——————
Bipolar disorder is 6 times more common in adults with ADHD.
——————
About 33% of students with ADHD dropout of high school, more than twice as many as those without ADHD.
——————
Only 15% of people with ADHD complete a four-year degree at a university.
——————
Drivers with ADHD have a risk of accidents that is 47% higher than their non-ADHD peers.
Not everyone has ADHD.
And I kindly ask everyone to stop saying things like this. Because it's contributing to the myth that ADHD isn't a real disorder, just something people make up for attention, or isn't that serious.

ADHD is getting a good idea for something suddenly, being able to workshop it a bit in your head for a few seconds, but then immediately forgetting what you were thinking about as you’re thinking about it, because somewhere between getting out a pen and paper or opening notes/docs to write it down before you forget…
Turns out you already had.
You just don’t know you’ve forgotten, yet.

My ADHD be like
Finding something you really like, consuming it ferociously, but leaving a bit for later consumption
Some examples
Finding a rare shampoo/cream/assorted makeup that treated you so well and then leaving just enough for 2 washes and just letting it rot in a corner (but one day I will either replace this bottle or I'll need to use this for a special day)
Finding a show that I have loved. Binged it in the shortest time possible (taken wfh, takeaways only, fuck bathing) but I won't watch the last episode cause that means it ends forever
Same with last chapters of some books

ADHD is wild, I’ve been unable to get any meds for two weeks, and I was on one steady for 3/4 years and I forget my brain is just feral. Example
Me: puts full container of milk in the sink last night and it was ruined and I had no clue I did that
Also me: info dumps about my ungodly love for Emiel Regis Rohellec Terzieff-Godefroy in an unhinged manner to people who have 0 clue what I’m talking about. At 11pm I am prepared to compose a thesis on his character and why he makes me experience the whole range of human emotions.

ADHD brain dialogues #12
"So what you wanna do in the future?"
"Well I'm interested in history. So studying medieval age stuff would not be bad. But I love Psychology but I don't see myself practicing. However I like Chemestry and Physics, but not too much, I only wanna know the basic stuff. Oh but I'm so drawn in this Geology stuff. Oh I like rocks and vulcanoes. Probably it could be the fit....... Oh but I'm in love with literature, I wanna analyze texts and being a published writer, one day. But I also like Philosophy and Sociology probably I should consider that as well. Yeah and politics. I can't decide. What do you think I'm gonna chose? "
"Unemployment."
