#adhd brain is very insane

[tmnt-obsessed-ace]

Name every tv show/movie francheise you hyperfixated on in order

Ok I'll try

I think Spongebob, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Dora the Explorer were the very first ones (like when I was just coming out of toddler age)

Then ICarly and Drake and Josh came next (5-7)

First EXTREME hyperfixation was Special Agent Oso (5-8)

Then my brain latched onto Cyberchase and Wild Krats (5-8 but moreso Cyberchase. One of my earliest memories was sitting at the computer eating my lunch and watching cyberchase episodes on the pbs kids website)

Then tmnt 2012 happened, became the longest hyperfixation ever (8-13, the hyperfixation fell dormant when Rise began airing and exploded back into existence last year)

Then there was The Legend of Korra and then Avatar The Last Airbender (8-11, yes I started watching Korra before Avatar, only because by the time I was forming actual memories and had mostly graduated from Nick Jr and Disney Jr, Avatar was already finished and Korra was just airing, sue me)

Power Rangers also happened around this time (8-12, second longest hyperfixation after tmnt 2012 but it died after Power Rangers Dino Charge ended and unlike tmnt 2012 didnt explode back into my brain)

Also happening at this time, Winx Club and Monster High hyperfixations. (Though Monster High lasted longer than Winx Club did, mostly because Nickelodeon wasnt airing all the episodes goddamn it nick)

Then the Star Wars hyperfixation began (12-14/15, this one has the most random start. I got into Star Wars because of Angry Birds Star Wars 2 and Im not kidding. I was really into Angry birds and that one looked cool ok?)

The Supernatural (13-16 ok this ones weird because technically I was watching it with my dad when I was young child but didnt remember ANYTHING before season nine so...idk)

Brief Steven Universe hyperfixation (15) but dropped it because Steven Universe Future didnt look very appealing and this was around the time when Steven Universe was getting dragged through the fucking mud (like it still is :/)

Tried to get into the original Teen Titans cartoon but the only time those episodes were airing was early in the morning and I could only manage to watch one or two before I had to leave for school, and they werent always airing either.

Also tried to get into Miraculous Ladybug but I just found the season 1 episodes to be so repetitive and annoying :/ also Nick was hardly ever airing them so idk.

(Honorable mention, Hamilton the musical. And before you ask, yes I was one of those people. I now cringe remembering my 15 year old self. Thankfully that hyperfixation was very brief as it only lasted about a year and got quickly overshadowed by Batim, Hollow Knight, Cuphead, Epic Mickey and Steven Universe hyperfixations happening all at the same in my silly little brain.)

And now the tmnt 2012 hyperfixation is back in absolute full force and probably isnt leaving anytime soon

So today was my first day teaching an after school elective theater class (10+ 2nd 3rd 4th grade girls) and holy shit y'all I have even more respect for teachers now than ever before because that was BRUTAL lmao it was like they could smell my fear and knew they could trample all over me. Maybe my viewpoint is skewed, seeing as I was a really meek, easygoing kid at that age, but I can't fathom just...blatantly ignoring the teacher when they tell you not to do something. I get theater is a bit more loosey goosey but damn I can't imagine treating any of my past theater teachers (or any adult for that matter) with such disregard. Hoping that they were just crazy because it was their first day back at school after summer break and they'll mellow out a tiny bit by next week.

There were two super sweet and responsible 4th graders that I'm probably going to have to lean on to get through to some of their classmates. Like appoint them "team leaders" or whatever.

Either way, no more Ms. Pushover next Wednesday--Miss Helen is gonna lay down the fucking LAW lol I'm going to print out a set of class rules and expectations and have the kids repeat them back to me, and I may invest in a fucking whistle to cut through how loud they can get. If any of y'all have a background in teaching or otherwise dealing with large groups of children, feel free to drop any tips or suggestions you might have to get a handle on a rowdy crowd of munchkins and gremlins without yelling or being overly strict.

I’ve been on adhd meds for nearly 2 months now and the changes are mad.

I sit down and just do things I want to get done the vast majority of time!! I took some today (even though I don’t usually take them on the weekends) and holy shit!! I got work done!! I remember I was beating myself up yesterday for not getting anything done and not knowing why since I’ve been so productive lately!!

Guess what idiot! It’s the meds!! The meds you didn’t take yesterday!!

Stupid predictable patterns of behavior having the same stupid predictable outcomes. Turns out I'm not that special and this time won't be different.

oh the urge to be a metamorph that can turn into a hot fat bear guy but also into an actual bear with claws n' shit

[choking-on-roses]

It doesn't matter how long I live with ADHD or how many coping mechanisms I have...I *am* going to lose very important things and I *am* going to feel like a dumb little baby whenever that happens and get so frustrated I could cry. Why does my own brain hate me so bad? Do you understand how fucking terrifying it is to just FORGET important things in your life? It's scary and belittling and takes away your own sense of agency and competency every single time...

[scrambledslut]

seeing everyone i grew up with graduate high school is making me fucking spiral so bad

[godblooded]

i… want to write? but i have to make a lesson plan out of house of leaves chapter 2 first.

[space-kittie]

I'm blown away fr. I've been insanely productive today and can now actually feel good to give myself a bit of a viddy gaem break before continuing to be productive for a bit more and then calling it a day. Like I fucking hit it out of the park today!!!

Good job me ~

My boss emphasized several times that I'm doing amazing work and she'll consider my quarterly goal met as long as I get this draft edited and to the reviewers by Friday and I'm like. Awesome! My ADHD has learned nothing from this

I mean I am relieved & glad she's so impressed by my work but it's like. Sometimes I wish I was worse at things bc being able to crank out 100 pages of technical documentation over ~5 days just leads my brain to go "oh don't worry about it" later
