This is me. I overcompensate to appear like a functioning adult. It's exhausting

Please remember that some ADHDers cope with their traits by becoming efficient.

My husband has combined ADHD, with very strong hyperactivity traits, executive function difficulties, strong time blindness, and memory issues.

To cope, he has become obsessed with being on time, writing everything down, sticking reminders everywhere etc. Not because it is a solution (it's not, he's rarely on time anywhere) but because years of trauma have made him terrified of forgetting.

He may have to go to the shops just to pick up some items. He will iron his clothes, be showered and dressed by 6am, but not go until 11am.

It looks like he's being proactive. But he's actually just scared himself into getting ready. He forgets his medications, to shower, to eat... Unless if there are consequences. Then he becomes a nervous wreck to simulate that he's under control.

Her name used to be Snoopy so I couldn't resist taking a pic...

Today I finally left my St. Henri bubble and went to go check on walk-in second dose vax sites. No dice this time, but I got a bubble tea, a sunny walk and some nice views out of it.

Ruthie like to look out of the window. Sometimes I like to give her a little leverage. I know I seem like a crazy dog lady, but honestly, having a dog has really helped me get through the ups and downs of this pandemic. Taking care of her gives me the distraction I need from the stress and anxiety of lockdown, curfews, outbreaks and so on. × × × #dogsandpals #makemoments #montreal #bestwoof #mtl #shichon #dogsofinstagram #shichonsofinstagram #zuchon #teddybeardog #excellent_dogs #dog #zuchonsofinstagram #liveunscripted #dog_features #cute #dogstagram #doglover #love #shichonstagram #doggo #mtlmoments #montreallife #thehappynow #darlingmovement #livethelittlethings #seekthesimplicity #mydogiscutest #aplacetolovedogs #worldofcutepets (at Montreal, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/COVYXHYBkWW/?igshid=sf33g0vr9iee

Today, the airline that changed my life turns 25. This is the last day that I worked, almost a year ago. Shortly after that, I was furloughed and I've been trying to figure out my new path ever since. I have no doubt that I'll be back to my derpy self after lockdown ends whether it be on a plane or office. 😜 × × × #aviation #avgeek #instagramaviation #aircraft #canada #crewlife #furlough #toronto #boeing #cabincrew #instaaviation #ontario #furloughclout #furloughfeature #flightattendant #stewardess #crew #flightattendantlife #boeinglovers #explorecanada #canadian #airhostess #aviation4u #instaplane #instaviation #flightdeck #cockpit #airline #aviationdaily #aviationgeek (at Toronto Pearson International Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL4i3hGBEs-/?igshid=h47j076uymtc

It was Jordan's birthday last Saturday, and with all of the rules Quebec has for covid, sledding was the best thing we could think of doing to celebrate.

To answer your question, no apparently Montréal has NOT had enough snow.

It's been really hard to put into words how this holiday season has felt. It's been a struggle. From not being able to see or spend time with family to health problems, I have felt very isolated. I have so many wonderful people in my life here in Montréal, but the social distancing has put a damper on what comfort that would normally bring. My long distance family and friend relationships have also suffered because the fatigue of constantly working hard to be responsible in the face of a pandemic doesn't leave much energy for them. 2020 has really tested me mentally, and I know going through this is revealing my strength, but sometimes it just makes me really sad. I know I'm not alone in my sadness, and I'm counting down the minutes until I'm able to hug my family and friends. Sending all of my love out there to you. × × × #imagesofcanada #snow #bike #enjoycanada #winter #cycling #bikelife #tourcanada #streetphoto #bicycle #explorecanada #bikeporn #thecanadiancollective #cycle #instabike #streetart #streetlife #thankyoucanada #cold #ice #snowing #snowflakes #snowfall #urbanart #citylife #urbanandstreet #everybodystreet #rsa_streetview #greatnorthcollective #totescanadian (at Montreal, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJWvulUBoU2/?igshid=79n53ofijyzs

Playing cards with a dog who has decided that she's a lap dog is a bit more tricky than you would expect.
