If your ADHD is causing you to fuck up more, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the ADHD is getting worse.. you could just be doing more things which gives you more opportunity to fuck up.

This is one of the reasons, ADHD can get ‘worse’ as an adult. A child has very few responsibilities. An adult on the other hand, has all kinds of opportunities to fuck up on.

Not sure if you've seen it yet or not, but you should check out the madoka magica website. There's a 4th movie coming! (Sorry for not using my account, I lost it a number of years ago and recently started getting back into Tumblr.

I HAVEN'T SEEN IT OMG I'M SO EXCITED ALREADY THANK YOU SO MUCH AAAAAAHHHHHHHH

tumblr guide for new users:

1) there is only one algorithm for your dashboard, and you can turn it off in settings. can't stress this enough. if you turn it off, your dashboard is in chronological order of posts and reblogs from people you follow

2) because of the lack of algorithm, likes do nothing. if you want more people to see a post, you have to reblog it so it goes on your follower's dashes

3) the vast majority of posts on a person's blog tend to be reblogs. think 90% or so. some of those will have that person commenting on it, and more will have tags

4) comments stay on reblog chains, while tags only show up on your reblog of that post. it's kind of like a whisper voice. in either case, both op and the person you reblogged from see that in their notifications

5) tags don't go in the body of the post. writing "staying in #lasvegas" won't make it appear in the las vegas tag, it'll just look weird

6) it's totally normal to reblog and post multiple things in one day. it's normal to reblog the same post twice in a row. it's normal to have 100 posts+reblogs in a day. post limit (the total number of original posts and reblogs) for a single day is 250. you heard me. 250. go hog fucking wild

7) it defaults to having a visible likes tab on your blog (but only on your blog, not the dashboard) but most people toggle it off

8) "tumblr clout" is a fucking joke. no one can see your follower count, and no one makes money here. there are no influencers. enjoy not giving a shit about maintaining a public persona. it's all anonymous and your employers won't find you here

Some ADHDers, like me, end up being perfectionists as a way to cope with our symptoms. But sometimes the anxiety of making mistakes becomes so big we can stop doing things, even if we love it, just because the fear.

I think whoever said to never half ass things didn't know neurodivergent people, because it was this kind of message that kept me away from trying to do anything. Being perfect, trying for something to be perfect, means it has to be done and there's no room for mistakes. Why would I try to exercise once a week when the ideal is five days a week? Better not to do it.

When I realised that I was allowed to make mistakes, I was allowed to not finish something and not doing it perfectly, suddenly there were SO many possibilities in front of me. I was exercising, cleaning, cooking, they didn't need to be perfect, they just had to make me happy. The same applies to this account, I wanted to share my experiences with other people so they could feel seen, but if I kept striving for perfection I wouldn't be here at all. I'm still in recovery from perfectionism, but I still try to choose a half ass task over a perfect one :)

Desktop version is fixed, you can see stuff now. (Same anon as before)

Thank you for letting me know! I actually changed back to regular tumblr theme bc I didn't know how to fix the old one 😂

[zamikt]

Hey, I'm not sure if this is just Tumblr being a hellsite for me individually, but your blog has text and stuff (can highlight/click on it and by pasting into search bar) and you can't see it? Like the screen is all blank white. Figured I would let you know so you could fix it if it's just a theme issue or something! (Genuine)

I just checked it out and I can't even see the images when using my laptop, it's like a white, empty page 😭😭😭 thank you so much for pointing it out! I usually only use the mobile app so I had no idea :')

Productivity is anything but linear with adhd, and boy is it hard to accept that not all our days will look the same after having a good, productive day

It’s my day in the Cosmic Takeover! ✨✨✨

I drew a comic about some mysterious struggles that I had at university. (Spoilers: they all turned out to be ADHD symptoms)

You have things you want and need to do. You want to do -something- but you just can't. This is based on my recent struggles with ADHD, executive dysfunction is a bitch.

Do you ever make an impulsive purchase and then get immediately showered by regret? Omg SAME?

Hello! I hope this is ok, I love your blog but I also wanted to ask you a question. You don’t have to respond if you don’t feel comfortable. I understand you can’t give a professional opinion but I’m just looking for different opinions to inform my own. I’m a 26 female with bipolar type 2. I’m being treated with mood stabilizers and it’s helped my hypomanic episodes immensely. But I still experience certain things that still make life incredibly difficult to deal with. I thought it was just heightened anxiety and depression but my sister suggested that it might be mild adhd. Even if I’m not feeling anxious I have moments where I find it very difficult to maintain focus most of the time. Even in conversations. Even if I really want to. It happens so rarely that I literally note it in my mood calendar when I do manage to maintain good focus. I always thought it was just lack of motivation. I get so attached to certain topics and subjects and frequently send whole essays about them to friends though I don’t think it’s obsessive. I don’t know if I have a short attention span but I do zone out even in normal conversations. I don’t think I have difficulties in listening but I definitely had to actively teach myself to stay focused and to actively listen and how to socialize. Poor organizational skills and poor study skills is a resounding YES for me. Especially the poor study skills. Because I always feel so confused about how exactly I’m supposed to study. I’m 26 and I still don’t know how I’m supposed to study. I used to have good grades but now in uni it’s all gone downhill. I used to describe my issue with focus like my brain was on constant static. I don’t literally HEAR static. But it’s like when you keep turning the radio toggle looking for a radio station but can’t find one and even when you do, it’s still jumbled with the static and you can’t actually comprehend anything being said. I fidget constantly. I can’t just sit, most of the time I NEED to be moving, rocking, fidget, shaking my leg/foot. I do have memory issues though I don’t know if it’s similar to ADHD memory issues. I find it difficult to finish tasks sometimes even if it’s something I like. I used to like reading but I’ll spend half an hour trying to read 2 pages before I give up because I can’t focus. Reading out loud helps but not always. My biggest issue with the idea of having adhd is that I’m not sure if I had it as a kid and adhd is something you have since childhood. It’s doesn’t suddenly develop in adults. But then again, it’s pretty common for women to be diagnosed in their late 20s during their uni years. I guess I’m just wondering if this sounds familiar to you. Thank you for listening!

Hi! Like you said I can't give a professional opinion on what you're describing but I can say it sounds quite similar to me (I have ADHD combined type, meaning I have a balanced amount of inattentive and hyperactive traits).

ADHD is something you're born with, so a lot of us who are diagnosed later in life tend to look back and say "oh, so that was the adhd". Usually if we get diagnosed during uni and not before is because we can't manage the new level of responsibility and increased demands of higher education, but that doesn't mean we didn't struggle before (although it can go unnoticed sometimes... Me and my closest adhd friends always thought that it was normal to feel like so and so and that everyone went through it), which is the reason why undiagnosed ADHD sometimes goes hand in hand with anxiety and depression.

If you suspect you may have ADHD, try to look back on your childhood or teenage years, maybe the reason you weren't always late was because anxiety made you get to places early, or you got told the famous phrase "you're so smart, if only you applied yourself more" a lot. With ADHD symptoms don't disappear, but they can morph and have a different presentation, or maybe you found coping strategies and you don't struggle with that anymore.

I'd suggest reading about ADHD and its symptoms, checking comics of different ADHD artists to see their inner experience, get that together with some good introspection and you may find an answer that hopefully will give you the help you need, be it learning ADHD coping mechanisms or getting a diagnosis and start therapy/medication. Either way feel free to check how we cope with bad memory, poor organisational skills, difficulties managing attention and more, our brains always try to get the dopamine we lack so we're very interest-based learners, that's why I think anyone can benefit from some of our ADHD hacks ☺️

On tumblr I recommend following @adhd-alien @adhdbri @dreamadoodle @danidonovan and @adhdandcomics if you can also find people on twitter then look for @jessejanderson, @ADHDelaide and @blkgirllostkeys and of course on YouTube look for How to ADHD, Jessica has a lot of tips, resources and information all in short very digestible videos!

Hope this helps anon!

I love reading! But sometimes ADHD makes it really hard for me to read and end up spending a lot of time on the same page of the book 💀

Being Better: My ADHD comic for @adhd-alien’s Cosmic Takeover event!

Having ADHD has been a really hard experience for me, and it affects me every minute of my life. This is the first time I’ve ever been able to address it publicly, and I’m glad I got to share it in such a special way. If you relate and think you have ADHD, don’t hesitate to contact a medical professional and find out more about getting diagnosed. Thank you for reading! ❤️

[zamikt]

Growing up people made me feel that being different was bad, and that I had to be like the others, but thanks to the ADHD community I learnt to celebrate being different and to be proud of who I am just the way I am
