Unfortunately my nervous system cannot tell the difference between the idea of someone possibly politely declining me and a nuclear bombing at my location.

love it when I look up ways to navigate adhd and the first thing people say is getting organized :)

I've been walking past a bunch of bananas for days, promising to eat one, but the moment I take my eyes off them, that agreement pops right out of my silly little head.

today, I successfully fulfilled that vow!

thanks for listening (๑ > ᴗ < ๑)

the autistic urge to google something when you're just about to fall asleep + the ADHD frustration of not being able to remember what it was the next day

[helyeahmangocheese]

also on adhd in the series—annabeth's hyperfixating, social-cues-who?/"I will speak when I want and do what I want and you cannot physically unglue me from this task" adhd is so cool to see on screen. that girl is neurodivergent af and we're gonna spend the series praising her brain as a daughter of athena, on and off screen, and holy shit that is so powerful

artists/makers with adhd — how do you… do it. how do u get your shit done. bc some days i really cannot. like today

PSA: Yes, ADHD can be silly funny goofy. It can also be a debilitating anxiety inducing hellhole. Both these can be true at once. Whenever you reduce it to one or the other you’re doing a disservice to ADHDers or people trying to understand ADHD.

ADHD is being made to feel like you're failing behind others, when actually, that's just internalised capitalism. Do things in your own sweet time where possible. The deadlines are fake. The rules are made up.

some things i didn’t realize were my ADHD until fairly recently:

(i’m probably combined type btw)

constantly starting new projects and wanting to do loads of things all at once, and then having loads of unfinished ones all over the place because i get tired of them before i can finish them and have another idea that i want to pursue

binge-reading books or whole book series within a few hours/days and not being able to think or do anything else other than that

being suddenly possessed with the urge to clean my entire room every once a month to a few months and not being able to do anything else other than that in that time when i have that urge, and getting incredibly angry and/or anxious when interrupted

being absolutely depressed, anxious, and having SI and/or SH urges/thoughts just because i’m bored, and nothing being able to solve that boredom no matter what i try to do

feeling rejected/unloved/unwanted in a ton of situations because of the way someone worded something

not being able to follow conversations because i keep getting distracted by my trains of thought, and because i can barely understand the person i’m talking to since i can’t hear what they’re saying

forgetting something i was thinking about/told/etc. as soon as i step into a new room/environment

forgetting literally everything, and learning to make lists, checking everything so many times, and thinking again and again about something to make sure that doesn’t happen

always fidgeting in some way, even when not anxious, and needing some sort of stimuli on in the background

my brain racing 90% of the time (the other 10% is when i’m extremely exhausted and my brain is shutting off/has shut off), even when i’m not anxious, and sometimes getting overwhelmed by that

forgetting something from a few seconds ago, and constantly needing to retrace my steps, whether physically or mentally

becoming really attached to someone new incredibly fast, and then feeling nothing (or not as much at least) for them once i’m adjusted to them

and many more things. i might do a part 2 another time, and just keep adding from there. but it’s incredibly astonishing to me that i only recently figured out these things and found answers for it all.

FORMALLY REQUESTING MORE OUTGOING AUTISTIC CHARACTERS AND INTROVERTED ADHD CHARACTERS PLEASE YALL IM BEGGING YOU !!!

I have diagnosed ADHD. I have very limited impulse control. I'm a total weirdo and I'm proud of it.

I can count on exactly zero fingers the number of times I've done a N*zi salute, accidentally or otherwise. STOP justifying Elon's bullshit.
