#diagnosed adhd

[futureless]

no offense to myself but like what the fuck am i doing

[hailaxyart]

So yeah. Sorry for not updating recently. I'm exhausted from the difficulties that having adhd and even mabye being autistic brings me. No ammount of anti depressants can fix that

Nothing is worse for my ADHD brain than an appointment at 3pm.

I have to babysit starting at 3 and it’s 1pm and I Cannot Move - ADHD time brain is BROKEN and I HATE THIS

As soon as I started unmasking my autism and adhd I got a job in customer service. Big mistake, because now I'm never sure if it's safe for me to unmask or not. Customers are always telling me my mannerisms are strange and will sometimes yell or lecture at me, because of how antisocial my mannerisms make me look. In reality it should be considered strange to lecture someone you've never met before, especially when they're just trying to do their job.

I deeply apologize to the quilting community, my post should not have come out of drafts like that.

Long story short, I intended on a much more humorous tone that failed due to edits not being saved correctly (thanks tumblr, luv ya) and coming off as an angry punch to the face. No offense was intended but it sure did read as offensive. There's no way to redeem the mess that ended up being released so I removed it. That straight up came off as bully behavior and that's not me.

I will, however, try to make the point again that this might not be an ADHD-friendly craft. It sure isn't friendly to me as someone with ADHD. It's the kind of trap for me that I get too emotionally invested in it and perfectionist about it, then I start judging my work against the much more fancy work on social media, then I feel I've put too much time and money into an "ugly, scrappy blanket". Not to mention that quilting shows and videos will have you believe you need a lot more products to start than you actually need, and lord knows it's too tempting to have "all the toys". So it's not the calming craft I thought it to be due to my ADHD-related restlessness and "shiny object syndrome", and I would warn others like me to ground yourself before starting because you will end up with a frustrating mess if you jump in the deep end because you're too excited.

But I will see this trainwreck of a project through. I have a lot of waste fabric from ruined bedsheets because I can't sleep restfully, and I don't want to further waste the fabrics.

Again, I sincerely apologize for what I published.

having adhd is like that feeling when you walk into a room and can’t remember what you went in there for, except it’s almost constant

[dead-by-tbr]

I want to decorate my ear defenders for a concert, but I don't know the best way to do so.

This concert is in August '24, it is March '24 so there's a few months to experiment.

I have access to a lot of paint, so many stickers, and I could even make craft store runs for supplies.

It's an outdoor concert with Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson in the middle of summer, so I'm thinking flowery with a hint of sophisticated hippie. I do absolutely love flower crowns and flower spike halo crowns, but I'm not sure how I'd be able to do that structurally.

Thank you for reading this :) I hope we can make something pretty :)

I’m really keen to know your answers because I’ve only ever met those two extreme ends of the spectrum and I wanna know where you fall. Not gonna say which one of the two I am yet but when the poll’s over I’ll tell you ;)

i must sort EVERYTHING but i also must DANCE

There's a lot of discourse in the ND community about professional versus self diagnosis, but I think we also need to recognize that there are more than those two options.

For example, I don't actually know if I was diagnosed as ADHD or not. I know I was evaluated when I was six or seven. I don't remember the results. I don't know where I was evaluated. It's been long enough that the clinic or psychologist that did the evaluation would have destroyed the records by now.

I think my mom has a copy of the results from that eval somewhere--I know because I read it when I was about 12. I don't remember what it said. We have moved since then, so I don't know where that file is.

For all I know, I've had a diagnosis for twelve years. For I all know, I wasn't diagnosed at all.

I'm Schrödinger's Neurodivergent.

Me, in high school (as someone who’s been taking meds since 6th grade): yeah i don’t get how so many people say they’re happier off their adhd meds, like i don’t take mine for a day or two and i don’t feel any different besides being less motivated and focused- overall I basically feel the same

Me, in college (barely taking my adhd meds): bro,,,, i think i finally get it,,, i haven’t taken my meds for my adhd in like 2-3 weeks and while i’m a lot more annoying and less focused, i’m a lot funnier and lowkey I feel happier???? what is this shit??

[acid-to-water]

coming to the realization that all of the mental health issues I've been dealing with in college is literally because I was overtimulated and burnt out 100% of the time? I could've enjoyed school instead of hating it? Wild.

[futureless]

it kinda sucks that SO MANY very normal, but dramatic people claim to be traumatized/have ptsd or cptsd, ocd, bpd, adhd, bipolar, depression, anxiety that it’s almost become.. like a trend i guess? i know a lot of people do have real issues, i’m speaking for those that really do not… i feel like it makes it SO much harder for those of us who actually suffer severely & barely make it through every day to even talk to anyone bc EVERYONE & their mother claims that shit 🥴 stop false claiming true & seriously life-altering mental illnesses! there’s a difference in normal, human feelings/behaviors & actually being diagnosed with problems & literally being chemically imbalanced!!!

[rainbowautistic]

Hello there fellow neurodivergents!

I'm hoping to find other people that have things in common with me!

Here are some things about me that we may have in common:

I have adhd and have been diagnosed with adhd and have never received medication for it.

I have autism and have not been diagnosed yet, but I was supposed to at one point and ended up not making it to the evaluation.

I enjoy doing research, since I'm autistic, but also because I like to write.

I've been taking Spanish in school for nearly 4 years, and I'm now learning welsh on Duolingo.

I want to be a herpetologist, since I love reptiles.

One day I'd like to renovate a van to live in and move to Wales with my dog. I'm even thinking about going to university there.

Marvel, DC, and Star Wars are my special interests.

My favorite aesthetics are corvidcore and academia.

I'm a pagan eccentric witch who takes a liking to mostly Norse Mythology, but wants to know about Welsh Mythology.

I also love the word dragon hoard, since I have multiple of those:).

Even if you don't have any of this in common with me, I'd still like to meet you. So feel free to message me if you'd like to talk about your special interests:).

Woah. an actual, proper intro/pin post?

Hey! Yeah, I'm finally making one of these. about time, too!

I go by LITERALLY dozens of names, but four that I will always respond to are Zeph/Zephyr, Nirakeii, and Keda. im the guy who cant make up his mind when it comes to shipping characters

I am not religious and never will be. When I swear to something or the like, i most likely will replace a word with 'Void' or 'The ancients', 'Three Moons', 'By the stars', etc...

I am a self-shipper (Thats right- I ship my ocs and self inserts with canon characters). If you don't like that, please do not bother me about it. I don't want to hear it. If it bothers you that much, you can just block my account or ignore me. Thank you.

Transmasculine and bisexual, (male leaning)!

I accept everyone and anyone, xenogenders, neopronouns, homoflexible, etc.

...well.. almost everyone..

....Except for you disgusting Pro/Com shippers, Ableist, "Super Straights", TERFS, Shota/Lolicons, "MAP"/Pedos, Zoos, Etc, Get off of my fucking blog, NOW. You are NOT welcome here, not now, and not EVER. That goes for all other problematic and disgusting-acting people. if you fall under the general DNI list, do not interact with me.

Despite being English (U.S.A), I tend to be really fuckin trash at speaking my own native tongue. I am trying to learn:

Spanish

Norwegian

Proud Ragequit (5P x NSH) and SolarFlare (SRS x CW/GW) shipper

Sometimes, I project onto Pebbles and other characters i like/kin, so hope that doesn't bother you guys!
