#adhd probs

[quasarkisses]

can't hardly believe it. you can just copy someone else's pre-made cleaning schedule and no one even shows up to arrest you for it

you can even cross out or add extra instructions to it. no one can stop you. and there's a bunch of them out there ready to be found

The adhd urge to put everything on my bed to force myself to deal with it, then shoving everything off my bed to go to sleep 😅

Here I am, posting a semi-update of yesterday’s pattern listing...

ONLY BECAUSE!

This is the image I made for instagram to showcase the two patterns AND I HAVE TO SHARE THIS HERE BECAUSE OF THE NOTES! I mean. IF THESE AREN’T ADHD NOTES, then I don’t know what is. Anyone want to hyperfixate and see what the going rate is for your appendix?

Remember, you can find these, and MANY MORE patterns over on my etsy  at:

www.SturdyNerdyStitchery.Etsy.Com

And you can tip my jar for coffee or get free patterns:

I am running this coupon through the end of the month, only posting for tumblr. I mean, you can spread the word around, but I am only sharing this code to tumblr.

Might do similar end of next month for just IG. then, Tiktok. Then, facebook?

For those who don't understand, this is how ADHD works sometimes, at least for me.

Get an idea.

Start working on idea.

See something that reminds you of something else you wanted to do

Start working on the other thing

Come across something else that catches your attention

Invests time and attention on that thing

At least half an hour later, remember you were doing original idea

Continue working on original idea

15ish minutes later, remember other thing

Stop work on original idea and continue other thing

Somehow works on original idea and other thing at same time sorta.

Original idea initiates long spiral of work because you've hit a dead end and can't get passed this block and you consider it a challenge to get it done because while it's not essential to original idea, you want to have it for original idea.

An hour later, nothing has been done to move forward for original idea even though you've done a lot, and you realize you're hungry because you worked through mealtime.

Debate on continuing either project or leave them for another day.

Remember you forgot to take out the trash.

Go take out trash.

Come back. What was I doing?

Stomach growls.

Oh yeah. Get food.

Watch TV.

Forget both projects entirely until whenever.

You ever hear someone’s crusty ass son say something rude about you, and even though you don’t bother yourself with the opinion of men, suddenly you’re 12 years old and you just know what people in your middle school are saying about you behind your back and that even when they’re being nice to you, you know it’s actually a poorly veiled attempt at bullying you and you can’t quite put your finger on how you know, but you know, and you try so hard to just be normal and likable and to understand what you’re missing but you just can’t quite figure it out and you don’t know what’s wrong with you and w𝘩𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘭

What people congratulate me, an ADHD disaster, on:

Doing well at work

Completing a project

Hitting life milestones

What's actually difficult for me:

Keeping dishes kinda clean

Cleaning anything regularly tbh

Getting to bed at a reasonable time

Feeding myself enough food

Remembering to reach out to my loved ones

Motivating myself to refill my prescriptions/schedule appointments/etc

Stop congratulating me for doing things that are easy for me (attending a job that's structured into my day, completing projects that were interesting, doing stuff that there was pre-existing structure for) and start congratulating me when I'm a little less of a hot mess than normal 😅

very sad that my metric for noticing adhd meds have kicked in is suddenly wanting to create art. then I have to tell myself no and go do laundry

What do you mean there’s not a fic for this specific couple and specific situation I imagined in my head?

"Adhd is so quirky and fun to have"

No bitch I literally have scheduled shower reminders because I'll literally not bathe for days without them.
