It's annoying that ADD has not been a diagnosis since 1987 (or 2013 depending on how you define "not a diagnosis" as well as your source, either way at least a decade) and yet there are STILL people fighting tooth and nail to argue that ADD is it's own thing, or a thing at all.

It's ADHD-I. There is literally no difference between "ADD" and ADHD. They're the same disorder. It's just a subtype. The inattentive subtype. It's such a basic piece of misinfo yet it's EVERYWHERE.

I do this thing were I isolate myself because I’m so comfortable alone

but then I do it for so long I start getting lonley and start gaslighting myself into thinking I have no friends

so I start reaching out to people again, and then everyone wants to meet up and plan things because my friends are great

…but now I get anxious and overwhelmed and need to isolate to recharge when it calms down

and repeat

I haven't seen new art from you in a while, are you alright? <3

so Yes, no, yes, no, yes??

It's complicated

Yes. I am gainfully employed as a graphic designer. This is good for living, but bad in that I use up all my FOCUS ON ART energy doing that and come home fried and don't do art.

No, I'm not doing.... great. Never at a threat of not being here anymore or completely stopping but just sad and feeling stupid self worth bs. Additionally since all the apps have changed and I was never... big to begin with, I feel like I'm screaming into the void and getting this chasm of silence. My favorite sites have always been the ones where people get to yell with me about their favs or interact w me. The lack of interaction is... stifling. I feel unwanted and it demotivates me to even think of working on my own projects

Yes, I've been kinda consistently commissioned and commissioned to do BIG art pieces, so all my time I set aside for art go into those things. Meaning I don't make little arts

No, I've been busy as hell. Partly w the other commissions, making it so even if a doodle i feel guilty for posting it when i SHOULD have been working on commissions. Partly cause it's the GD holidays and I have to logistically figure out sending presents to my sisters ACROSS THE COUNTRY and getting gifts for loved ones, and making food, and keeping up with life. and I don't do that... well... without neglecting a lot of other things.

Yes, I'm okay. I've been making up stories for my OC Blorbos, and doodling them. But I forget to post them. (also unsure if anyone would want to hear about them)

I have a set schedule of streaming Mondays and Fridays to kinda force myself to work on art. Cause I know I WANT to and I know I will enjoy it once I do, but convincing gremlin ADHD executive dysfunction brain to believe that is hard.

I feel like a failure of an artist, and I know this .... lean art period will give way. But it might take changing a lot of ... mentally unhelpful situations in my life. More than ever I'm feeling disorganized and helpless.

I want to be like the bigger artists with consistent art and merch and content. But like all things in my life, I'm heartbreakingly feeling like I'm so behind and don't even understand how to do it to catch up.

I'm hoping that once I clear the Marvel Trumps Hate Auction Fills I'm working on I'll have a little space to work on things.

Thanks for checking in. It's... reassuringly unexpected to be noticed.

To the neurodivergent folks out there: do you express your emotions in a way that neurotypical people will think you are feeling the opposite what you're actually feeling?

Because I do. All the time. I've been diagnosed with ad(h)d & autism.

When I'm frustrated and angry about something, I will smile and laugh (I might also start crying if my frustration and anger are extreme). I can't help it, no matter how much I try to hide my natural reactions to things.

For example, when someone is teasing me and I get annoyed, I smile & laugh in response and people will interpret it as me enjoying it, when I'm very much not. Or when I make a mistake that affects people around me and I get frustrated at myself, I smile. And then others will interpret it as me being mean & uncaring on purpose. Or when I see pictures & videos of the horrible things happening in these days, I start smiling out of frustration & anger for not being able to help (and then I feel like a monster for smiling at atrocities). The list could go on forever.

Do you have any similar experiences?

Today I overheard a convo of people talking about ADHD saying everyone has it and it's just how the brain works...

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:

[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.

great, just found out my constant efforts to combat my ADHD are not working and I'm still accidentally hurting the people I care about. I hate it here. I just don't want to hurt people why is that so hard...

I thought I was doing such a good job, I'm constantly trying to make sure I'm responding to people adequately because I've been yelled at so much over it and I really want to make people feel valued and make sure they know I'm giving them my attention. I work so hard to not interrupt others during conversation, I try so hard to maintain attention to conversations, I try so hard to pay attention to my surroundings so that I don't ignore friends, I try so hard to push past rejection sensitivity so that I can help people - but apparently it's all useless

I guess I'd rather know. I'll still keep trying. It just really hurts
