this is my brain. this is why I have three daily reminders on my phone to take my meds, other regular reminders for other tasks, piles of stuff all over my desk, post-it notes up the sides of my monitors, and a constant sinking anxiety
Wish me luck as I have to take out trash tomorrow morning! #adhdlife
FAQ:Can you take out trash at night?

So I havenāt been taking my ADHD meds on this trip, which is what one often does. It is mostly fine except for these things that I used to have the ability to ignore before meds has come to visit and I canāt ignore easily.
Brain, I want free of this song on LOOP please. š
Brain: You've got so much time, why aren't you being productive?
Me: Productive? I thought we had called it a 'day off'?
Brain: Oh, did I say that? Sorry, I meant Self-loathing and internalized parental pressure.
Me: ...
I fidget non stop during online meetings and webinars. I would also fidget during in person meetings but it is socially frowned upon. Tonight I attended a webinar while riding my spin bike. That was honestly the most focused I've been in a webinar possibly ever. I was even able to post a question before my brain had moved on and forgotten it. This might be my new strategy #ADHDLife #ADHD
I've only just remembered to flip the calendar from July to August. That has to be a record for me! :blobcatgooglyholdingitsheadinitshands:

So Jupes hanging out near me means that my ADHD brain now has a body double. I started tidying. A single hour of them sitting in my office has led to the cleanest desk I've had in weeks.
I dream of a world where this phenomena is better understood and better supported. It really helps.
Anyone else have to literally bribe themselves in order to go out for a walk? I have been avoiding daily walks recently and my creaking limbs are making it clear I have to get back out there. So I'm treating myself to a coffee today ā

When you need to find a browser window you keep open with a specific set of tabs for monitoring cloud service status, and accidentally alt-tab into the one listing fall anime and fall down a stupid distracted rabbit hole rather than checking on the systems you need to (which you return to many minutes later, dragging yourself back to focus)...

Since I got medicated for ADHD, Iāve become more successful at finishing my long running knitting and crochet projects. Itās a somewhat surprising effect since I do my crafting on evenings and weekends, when the meds have worn off or Iām taking a day off. Iām not sure what the mechanism of action is, though I have some theories. #ADHDLife
Hi my #ADHD friends. If youāre like me, you probably have a list of things that you *must* do eventually, but you will probably *never* do, because it has fallen into the abyss of Too Much Effort To Do Right Now But Not Urgent Enough To Make Time For It Today.
Do yourself a favor: pick one item from that list, and do it today. Make that call. Send that email. Fill in that form. Clean out that thing. Youāll feel so much better after you do it.
Today, I called my vet and scheduled my dogās next routine checkup appointment.
You can do it!

TIL I can easily knit during video calls without anyone seeing it. Itās as good as a fidget toy for staying on task and much better than clicking into another tab.
