i think it’s so funny that barry was like NOW i’m a little ADD. i only have adhd NOW that i can think faster and not any time before that. as if this wasn’t my exact experience when i took adderall for the first time lmao

How do i explain to people that i forget that i'm having a conversation with them the moment i look away from the app while getting across that this is distressing to me and i do care about them and the conversarions we have

letterboxd goes so hard when you have adhd and watch things over. and over. and over. and over.

I'm having trouble finding videos for new posts right now,so I'll do a self help post right now about self stimulation,when you're bored as an autistic and/or ADHD person,because sometimes you're in situations where you can't do certain things because they're too disruptive.

Here's some suggestions for more subtle forms of stimming/distracting yourself.

Imagine something stimulating. It could be anything,a tree swaying in the wind. A waterfallrunning. Focus on that. Think about how the breeze would feel on your skin,how the wind rushes past your ears. How the trees sway back and forth,the rustling of the leaves. How the warm sunlight bathes over your skin. That sort of thing.

Play the counting game. See how many red objects you can spot around you,or how many clocks there are around. Count them. Stuff like that.

Softly Drum your fingers on your thighs,or your arm,or tap them against your thumb.

Twirl your hair around

Wear quiet,or less noisy stimming jewelery,preferably something with a more subtle design.

Use a worry stone,or similar stimming objects

Rub your clothes between your fingers

Wiggle your fingers,or your toes

Listen to soothing music on an mp3 player

Listen to an interesting or calming sound in your environment. Focus on it

Look at the sunlight glinting off of shiny objects,or how it looks through glass or parts of a plant.

Look at fishes or other smaller animals in your environment. Watch the water move around them,how it glides gracefully off their scales. How they swish around in the water. How the bubbles look and sound,that they make. How they splash around.

Watch clocks tick,and listen to the sounds they make. Tick tock,tick tock.

Use a quieter tangle. These are a life saver.

having this absolutely wild time where it feels like I know exactly what I need to do to fix, like, a lot of my issues, or at least start fixing them. and then i absolutely do not do them. i believe this is a wizard's curse

Ok last post about Adderall today I promise lol. But I texted my medication management nurse to let her know that everything went great today, and she texted back this 😭😭🥹🥹

I have had such god awful experiences up until now with mental health medication. I have been put on very strong drugs meant for illnesses I do not have, and doctors never listened to me or took my side effects seriously until I hit mental breakdown level. I was about to give up on medication completely but quitting my Zoloft made me borderline suicidal and I knew I needed help, and I'm so grateful I ended up with someone so genuinely caring. She is an addiction recovery nurse who does mental health care on the side just because she wanted to keep seeing her patients after recovery. It really is insane how much less scary it is getting treatment when you have somebody who actually cares about you. And keeps in touch to make sure everything is going smoothly. Idk sorry for the rant I'm just excited to finally be on the right track lmfao

Still reeling that my new psychiatrist had the UNMITIGATED GALL to ask "Do you want to see how you do without the methylphenidate?" AFTER I told him that I had been off it for over a year and was miserable.

i need to present at a seminar 29 hours. i'm panicking and stuck in task paralysis with just half a presentation and only 75% of data for the rest of it even analysed

I’m not bouncing and it’s a fucking problem

[danothan]

if there’s one thing barry writers love, it’s themes of neurodivergence and being othered

My phone is old and takes 5 million years to do anything but I try my best to not get mad at it because I also take 5 million years to do anything
