Meeting yesterday gave me #adhd #overwhelm. Partly a to-do thing, partly an expectations vs imposter thing?

I guess the good news is that now I can identify this feeling as being part of me, not part of the situation.

Or maybe that's bad. Reacting to overwhelm often panicked me into action. "Relax, this feeling will pass" will eventually get me fired.

Time to search for a Secret Third Way!

Start with to-do lists for ME TODAY and for PROJECT UPCOMING.

Yes sir, brain!

Got my #adhd appointment finally and it's in about a month: at 9pm. It was either that or 6am so I got away lightly, I think

Should have known this like 30 years ago: https://www.additudemag.com/understanding-adhd-hyperfocus/

I started being on medication for #adhd last March.

My #adhd has now made my mind go to new places.

I introduce to you, my newest adhd project

AuroraOS

named after the incredible Aurora Borealis that can often be seen in the northern hemisphere, this OS has no correlation to its beuty whatsoever.

I just wanted to explore into no_std projects with rust.

It has been an interesting project, I only started yesterday but I have made some progress, I have yet to see if it boots on actual hardware

Two+ years after stepping into a diagnostic center saying 'i want to see if pills work with this shit'. Almost exactly two years after getting #ASS and #ADHD diagnosed. Five shrinks. €1500+ in unrefunded costs. I FINALLY got one so far as to say 'ahh you want to try medication?'

Dude. I mentioned that. Every. Visit.

This grotesk setup of saying 'make another appointment' to a person who is practically screaming that making appointments is a huuuge problem...

#ActuallyAutistic

How do I go to bed? I'm tired, I want to go to bed, and I know I need to go to bed, but I already made a decision to not go to bed.

#adhd

@jae Thanks, I appreciate it. It wouldn’t be so bad if not for the fact that I *do* miss things. I have my entire life, and it wasn’t until I was 35 that I learned it was due to #ADHD. As a result I’m hypersensitive to criticism of that.

At least I know I’m far from the only person there who utterly hates my manager. So there’s solidarity in that, I guess. 😅

aight since i remade/moved here's a little #introduction

Hii im Karu! 🐻 they/them, Estonian fool who is trying to get some semblance of fandom from mastodon, so i moved here too...

Overall in my life im trying to do various tech stuff, but also exploring every hobby known to mans because and despite #adhd, i might post some memes or arts or maybe cosplays who knows

will keep it sfw most likely ? and will be retoot-heavy(heheh)

buncha tags and fandoms below-

Medication giving me a good night sleep by turning off my undiagnosed #adhd head pretty well so far. Unfortunately #actuallyautistic executive dysfunction seems to keep me in bed for much longer than I'd like. An improvement sure, but damn still someway to go.

Having #ADHD and being someone who takes psychic damage from losing things is a particularly rude combination.

C'est tout moi ! #TDAH #ADHD

I am badly in need of some recombobulation and should wipe and rewrite my planner pages (Rocketbook) for the fall “semester”.

Except I’m not sure where I’ve misplace the planner …

The #adhd assessment (almost) done and I'm so exhasted from it.

I went into it with confidence that the process wouldn't be complicated (there's just too many pointers in favour of a diagnosis IMHO). The issue however is gathering enough evidence that I was struggling as a kid.

Chances to find documents from that far back feels slim, and my family has the "he managed school" mentality which is not helping.

I leave it in the hands of the professionals to dig around, but I just feel pessimistic they'll find enough to satisfy the criterias.

This refers to adult therapy - but is something to think about when diagnosing children/students as well!!!!!!!!!! Dr Judy Willis has been drawing educators' attention to the fact that the ed system often tries to get students diagnosed with #ADHD, #Anxiety disorder, conduct disorder, oppositional disorder and on and on when it's really the nervous systems' response of fight, flight or freeze to #classroom expectations unfit for humans.

#ADHD -induced #RSD means I never tell anyone when they've hurt me let alone would I dream of asking for an apology.

This time I vowed to do it. I even medicated 30m earlier than usual to make sure the full dose was behind me (it seems to completely zap RSD).

It was no problem!

It didn't even have to be an intense "we need to talk" scenario. Just a casual "hey, that seemed a little over the top and it made me sad".

Not sure I got 100% what I was looking for, but what a huge step and relief.

Ständig vergesse ich, dass ich noch was in der Mikrowelle habe. Mindestens 1x am Tag. Das Ding steht im selben Raum, ich höre das "ding" und trotzdem... :blobglare:

#adhd #ADHS

Doing errands sucks enough as it is for someone with #ADHD without something like this happening...

With all the #ADHD memes going around, the only one I don't understand is the washing machine/laundry thing. Laundry I am okay with because it involves only putting stuff in a machine and walking off to do fun things for a bit.

But also my washing machine is in another building now and has wifi so when it's done it messages my phone which then buzzes my fitbit so I know when it's done and as long as I leave the notification on my phone, I'll remember to deal with it.
