ADHD life is trying to trick your brain into thinking it wants to do homework

#and then you end up reading fanfiction instead #help my executive is dysfunctional #adhd #that adhd life #school

[dftea]

I am meant to be packing for a family holiday and instead my brain is all:

"But surely the fun of near-immortal characters is finding unique ways to hurt them. What combination of tags do I put into AO3 to get the fic I want, with the right kind of hurt and the best kind of comfort? Do I even know what I want?"

So, I don't think we're leaving on time tomorrow.

I was just forcibly reminded of the time I won a prize in math class for being the first to get an answer right. Not even touching on how that was a personal first (and last), I need to focus on the important shit:

I was in 7th grade

I was just starting my first boxing match with puberty and

My 2nd year teacher gave me about a half a cup of chocolate covered espresso beans

The false hope my undiagnosed ADHD ass gave this poor woman about appropriate gifts for children when I actually chilled the fuck out—

#that adhd life #ma’am if you ever see this. first of all no you didn’t. but second of all RIP your entire classroom #I was an outlier and should not have been counted. that is way too much caffeine for a non-ADHD child 😭

My stepmom is turning 75 this month and she's the sort of person who always sends a card and always remembers occasions but in a nice way, not a "why don't YOU do this?" way?

And I have ADHD so I had a brief period in my 20's where I sent cards for most occasions but then returned to my career as a disaster human?

So my dad calls me to ask if I could "find it in my heart" to send her a birthday card - in a tongue-in-cheek way, not a "why are you like this" way - and I said I could definitely find it in my heart but could I find it in my brain though?

But also I'm extremely extra and I asked should I send her 75 birthday cards and he says no that's too expensive?

Anyway, 80 birthday cards and 80 postage stamps will be here on Saturday so I have my weekend planned.

And I'll have 5 birthday cards and 5 stamps left over!

#happy birthday #stepmoms #that adhd life #being extra #postal service

the adhd mood: you have more drinks than braincells!

#el travels #understanding one full sentence feels like a victory #taking so many notes since i am so into studying atm #the fact that airplane tickets home were unnecessary expensive is my villain origin story #trains are nice but not on the first day of summer holidays #not me reading a book in Korean #adhd #that adhd life

An 8 minute video that explains the ways in which people with ADHD tend to struggle with their daily life.

#that ADHD life #about me #adhd inattentive type #my big struggles are... #initiation #(which is why a suggestion to start a journal worked) #shifting #WORKING MEMORY omg #organizing of materials #and self monitoring #jfc the self monitoring is the worst #lol i don't even know when i'm hungry or thirsty or if i need to pee #my hands were shaking so badly at work the other day that i dropped a bottle of meds and the pills went EVERYWHERE #i said i'm so sorry my hands are shaking #someone asked me if i was hungry #and i got the weirdest look ever when i said #i don't know

I have my clothes picked and set out, my car cleaned, and leftovers for lunch ready to go.

All I have left to do is pack my bag, shower, and go to bed.

Why do I still feel so overwhelmed? Nothing has happened yet and the stuff that needs to be done is being done in a timely manner. This is also the very first time, in my entire life, that I’ll be in a work environment while on ADHD meds. I know that they’ll help. Because they’ve helped with other everyday stuff I’ve struggled with. But despite my assurances to my friends and family otherwise, I just can’t seem to believe it myself.

I guess I’m just afraid I’ll self sabotage. Again.

#fury's life #personal i guess #that adhd life #I really hope it helps #please let it help #I can’t… I can’t go through this again without SOMETHING changing

I hate when I am filled with what I like to call 'Hummingbird Energy' - where I get a burst of huge excitement and energy but it comes on so abruptly and fiercely that it also kinda scrambles my brain, and if I try and direct it towards anything productive or useful it immediately flips out into anxiety and exhaustion, so all I can do with it is just kinda wander around vibrating endlessly until it wears out and then I need a nap.

#mine #that ADHD life #like what am I supposed to do with all this energy that goes NOWHERE

There’s no such thing as work-life balance for neurodivergent & chronically ill people.

This is because everything in my life requires work:

maintaining friendships

keeping up with my hygiene

managing bills

making money

remembering my basic needs

sleeping regularly

outputting creatively

All requires some aspect of work for me.

And when everything in your life requires work, your balance goes out the window.

If you're neurodivergent and overwhelmed — I see you.

If you're chronically ill and overwhelmed — I see you.

You're not dysfunctional.

You're not incapable.

You're doing your best.

It's disability pride month, which I forget every year because I'm always so excited about LGBTQIA+ Pride in June.

Despite being disabled. I fully forget it.

I talk a lot about my disabilities. I have "invisible" disabilities. Everybody's got their own philosophy on how much to share, but I share a LOT. Because:

- I can help normalize my disabilities with abled people.

- Peers who are silently struggling know that they're not alone.

- Even people who know about disabilities don't know the half of it. How could they? l'm constantly learning about it myself, and I live it.

- Once in a while, I meet someone younger than myself with the same issue and I can mentor and build them up.

- Peers with similar issues? We can trade coping strategies and lend the occasional spoon.

I'm 46 now, and I came up in a place and time when ADHD was often overlooked. I was that classic "crazy, stupid, or lazy," underachieving kid with SO much potential if I could just get myself together!

Naturally, I also developed a collection of anxiety disorders.

Then, the ACES (childhood trauma) and the stress led to gradual breakdowns in health. My thyroid doesn't work right, my digestive tract doesn't work right. I get frequent migraines and sinus headaches. I'm usually trying to stumble my way through one type of pain or another 1-2x a week. Sometimes I "just" get vertigo.

I've kind of built up a collection.

But the older I get, the more I think it all starts with untreated ADHD. Even my childhood trauma is from an alcoholic mother. She had untreated ADHD and mental illness. People with ADHD are far more likely to develop an addiction than neurotypicals.

But pride - am I proud of my disability? You know what - kinda! It's fun inside my brain. A lot of my favorite entertainments are right in there with me.

I'm perpetually curious.

I'm excited about EVERYTHING.

I come up with niche, interesting ideas on the regular.

I experience love intensely, deeply, and almost instantaneously.

I just feel like I've got a lot to offer. And I feel like the world is richer the more we have a diversity of thought and experience and culture and people, and I'm part of that.

We can all be part of that.

something about "your anger isn't scary to me" is making me so emotional. something about as above so below, cassandra as a mirror of kristen. something about "I've been dropping the ball a lot lately" and kristen's struggles with adhd. something about teenage girls and rage and fury and justice. something about adaine's vision of ruining fallinel and the sylvaire looking for revenge. something about sadness and doubt and anger and love. something about "I choose to understand" being the absolute core theme of d20 in general. something something.

#something about kristen's adhd making her fuck things up and being mad at herself and that manifesting #as her deity being overcome with rage #something about fear and anger and shame and the inability to do better even when you're trying so hard #and something about people loving you anyway #something about 'your anger isnt scary to me' #as someone who had undiagnosed pcos in early high school and got so fucking MAD #something about adhd and how you're always failing and you have no one to blame but yourself #and how heart breaking it is to watch your life fall apart around you KNOWING you could do something #but being unable to do it right. always forgetting always slipping up #and how mad that makes you. at yourself. #this fight is so much #fhjy #d20 #dimension 20 #fantasy high
