me, hitting my ADHD with a stick: the words! are right there! you’re reading them right now! what do they say!

my ADHD: words?????????????????

adhd things:

having no concept of time

having to read using a ruler or something to block the rest of the words. what the heck

being irrationally angry for no reason

self care is boring, don’t wanna do it

eating? too boring. no thanks

those days when nothing is good

everything is too much no thanks

boredom so bad you clip through the floor and end up 3 years in the past and you don’t remember how to divide

homework is. Bad

Life skill

Learn to kindly but firmly say “that’s personal”.

You owe no one information about your body, your opinions, your family, your health, not even your favorite food if u dont wanna share.

A kinda creepy guy at work asks what u did on the weekend? A well-meaning relative asks abt your health problems? A friend of a friend asks about your partner? Maybe smile for a second and then say “you know, that’s actually kinda personal” and change the subject or give a very general answer if u want.

You are entitled to privacy and to choosing who to share what with.

the three adhd moods

can’t do it because this one thing has had my full entire attention for the past three days and i think ive gotten two hours of sleep in that time and my blood has been replaced with coffee

‪Why do we always have to phrase it as “mentally ill people shouldn’t have guns” rather than “dangerous people shouldn’t have guns”?

I’m in one of those categories so I see a therapist, take some meds and work patiently on and with my brain.

Other folks *don’t* need Zoloft but they *do* like to make violent, credible threats, amass military-grade weapons, kill animals and/or beat women. If more than one person that lives with you has called the police because they are afraid you are going to hurt them, you shouldn’t be able to get a gun.

It’s not about a diagnosis. Lots and lots of us have those, and this conversation doesn’t help. It’s the willingness to hurt and terrorize others that we need to screen for.

‘being bored’ when you have adhd isn’t just ‘being bored’. it’s your mind going to the darkest places, imagining things that could harm you because this state of being is so unbearable to you. it’s severe depression out of nowhere. it’s desperately hoping for something to happen, something interesting enough to distract you from this hell. but nothing fits the bill. it’s not being convinced that it’ll ever end even though it usually does. it’s you living with the knowledge that it just has to end somehow because there’s no way to predict what your brain will suggest next to escape from it. being bored is painful when you have adhd and i hate it
