ADHD is so weird because, based on my own personal experience, it makes me simultaneously feel like a toddler and the parent who's supposed to take care of the toddler.
Like every time I know I need to do something for my health, it's like:
Inner Adult: Hey, we need to eat. Let's go eat.
Inner Toddler: I don't wanna. I wanna play video games.
Inner Adult: You're going to be ravenous later.
and
Inner Toddler: *whimpering.*
Inner Adult: All they said was they didn't have room for you in the car for the trip.
Inner Toddler: They don't want me there! They hate me.
Inner Adult: There's room in one of the other cars.
Inner Toddler: My best friend is in the car I wanted to ride in. She doesn't like me!
Please tell me this isn't just me.

Sometimes ADHD is funny, then you reach your limit of being a perpetual fuck up for the week and your self esteem breaks down
I grabbed the crushed ginger instead of crushed garlic and how I have a bowl full of ginger butter.
It’s only fucking Tuesday.

Writing with ADHD: Three Tips for Participating in Prompt Challenges
I recently made a post that included some tips I've found helpful when writing with ADHD, so I thought I would make a separate post. Hope they help!
Aim to keep your prompt fills short. That way, you don’t get overwhelmed with writing something long, and you’re less likely to get bored with your own writing. (Funny how that happens!)
Set aside 5-10 minutes and jot down ideas for the prompts. Basically, have some sort of loose plan about what you’re going to be writing for each prompt. That way, part of the work is already done ahead of time (coming up with the idea) and you’re less likely (in theory) to get distracted by trying to come up with the premise for the day.
Don’t try to fight distraction all the time. It can be your friend. I know it sounds paradoxical, but I find that having an easy TV show in the background often helps me write. For example, I’ve been doing March of Pain with the cooking show Chopped in the background. Do what works for you!

The most terrifying part of having memory issues is when you can feel something from 5 seconds ago be thrown out the window and there's an empty hole where it once was. You remember that you forgot something.

People who don't hyperfixate will never know the slightly horrible, completely impossible-to-replicate feeling of being so intensely invested in something it possesses you, takes over your waking thoughts and rides some weird line between being excited, anxious, and stressed as hell while still being entirely some other beast.

the most helpful thing i have ever seen from neurodivergent internet spaces is “THERE ARE OTHER TIMES OF DAY TO BRUSH YOUR TEETH”. this has genuinely saved me from executive dysfunction spirals so many times.

I feel like there are a lot of people out there who needs to hear this:
If you dropped out of school because of diagnosed (or undiagnosed) ADHD, Autism, ADD, OCD, Dyslexia, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, schizophrenia etc… You did not fail. The education system failed you.

"adhd isn't a disability"
breaks down over trying to start tasks until he deadline is stupidly close
unable to do basic chores unless it's like 4am and then the whole damn house gets cleaned
speaks too fast
tangent and tangent and tangent. makes social situations hard
literally unable to stop themselves from interrupting people mid sentence (and the constant "*interrupts*- sorry, please continue")
knows what they want to say, cannot find the words, even if it's something basic
auditory processing disorder (pretty common with adhd), like how do you explain that you can hear but your brain has minecraft server lag and the chat will appear soon
hyperfixations, and people thinking they are special interests when they are not (they are short term, literally stops you from basic care like eating and drinking when in) edit: it was brought to my attention this comes across like special interests are easier to live with which is not the case, please do not take that away from this post!!!
impulse purchases making bank accounts cry
all or nothing. not hungry to pain. don't need to pee until pain. you get the picture
cannot sit still, like actually can't, constant moving and shuffling which people think would be cute but actually just pisses people off
doesn't have a fidget toy, not bc they are popular but bc they would have to put it away bc dylan over there got a fidget spinner and has been loudly playing with it (dylan is neurotypical)
cannot do anything if there is something else to do that day, must wait
just stfu it is a disability
