I feel like this applies to a LOT of people, but especially my fellow #ADHDers

This comic depicts a humorous take on the familiar act of bookmarking websites. In the first two panels, a woman seated at her computer exclaims, “Wow, cool site! I’m gonna bookmark it.” The next panel shows her affectionately leading a personified bookmark, a cheerful rectangular entity with a smile, towards a large folder labeled “Bookmark Bar.” She says, “Here ya go, little bookmark, into the folder with you,” to which the bookmark replies, “Yay!”

However, the last two panels reveal a twist. As the bookmark enters the folder, it’s greeted by a dramatic and foreboding scene titled “The Folder of the Forsaken.” The interior reveals a multitude of sad, distressed, and abandoned bookmarks, each with distinct expressions of despair, anger, and sadness. Flames and gloom set the background, making the folder appear more like a dungeon. The contrast between the cheerful action of bookmarking and the grim reality for the bookmark itself provides a comic commentary on how many sites we save but rarely revisit. The comic ends on a playful yet poignant note about our digital habits.

I just saw a recipe for shrimp porridge by Maangchi and wanted to comment on some possible adaptations for #spoonies or fellow #ADHDers who don't deal well with keeping an eye on something for 30 minutes or more.

Note, this is probably not going to taste like hers, but hopefully as tasty.

#ADHD Info of the day:

Some may not know this. One symptom some ADHDers have is constant racing thoughts about a insanely massive variety of topics.

Sometimes these thoughts get spit out in a phenomenon I can only describe as "verbal diarrhea". I don't know if everyone with ADHD has this issue, but for me, it's an ongoing struggle of what I should and should not share.

In my personal experience, this type of over sharing sometimes leads to arguments with people you care about and even complete strangers. In extreme cases, you lose entire friendships over this, leading to a very lonely and regretful life.

If you know anyone who has these symptoms, it helps to take a minute and really think about what exactly they intend with their words. Also, reach out and let them know that it's okay and you're there for them. Be kind to each other. See things from other's perspectives. They may not mean what you think they mean.

Hey it’s #ADHD Awareness Month.
Today I recorded some vocal harmonies I previously forgot I needed to record. I also did some laundry.
I still have to wash and water Frances McDormand. 🌱

Four frame panel of the actor Mads Mikkelsen. He has his hand up to his face in the 1st frame, just spacing out. He is smoking a cigarette in the 2nd frame. He is drinking a glass of wine in the third frame. In the 4th frame, he is drinking wine while holding a cigarette in the same hand.
The text at the top says “Me after completing exactly one (1) task on my to do list.”

I had no idea #ADHDAwarenessMonth was a thing (or I just forgot about it--either way, thanks, @KydiaMusic@mastodon.social for the notice! lol) so due to my choice in username, I feel obligated to share a little about my experience. 😁

So here's the heavy shit: It's estimated that kids with #ADHD receive *over 20,000* more negative messages/corrections than neurotypical kids by the time they are 10 years old. That's not an insignificant number on paper, but living it is something else entirely.

I was diagnosed at 21 years old. When someone goes undiagnosed that long, it means that they've internalized more than a few stories they've been told about themselves. "I'm stupid," "I'm lazy," "I'm a failure," "I'm afraid of success," "I can't do anything right," and other fun fables. This is a quasi-universal experience for us because it's not just "hard" to avoid internalizing that. It's not the same as having a bully tell you you're a sack of crap every day at school; it's everyone in your life--friends, teachers, your parents. When the people that love you most in the world are fed up with you on a daily basis, it wreaks havoc on your self-esteem.

Now here's the truth about ADHD: Yes, it's a disadvantage in school, at work, and in our relationships. The fact is, however, that having an ADHD brain is not the problem. ADHD will only remain a disability while the world continues to be disabling to us.

The ADHD brain is wild. It's untamed. We're out-of-the-box thinkers. We're creative. We're perpetual students and teachers. We're passionate, excitable, bright, and lively people. ADHD brains are typically charismatic and have a veritable toolbox of skills and acquired knowledge. We're often great in a crisis and can think fast on our feet when put in a corner. Our brains actually take in more information than neurotypical brains, and while it can be intensely overwhelming at times, it also means we are surprisingly observant and skilled multi-taskers. In fact, studies have shown that, despite our "scattered" nature and difficulty directing our attention, we can be given a task in a room full of distractions and not only complete the task more efficiently than our neurotypical counterparts, but we can recall more details about the distractions and environment afterward.

All this is to say that there is a real need for #ADHDAwareness in our world, because #ADHDers have so much to offer but so many of us don't get anywhere near what we need to thrive. We need parents and teachers to be curious about us, not judgmental. We need leadership at school and at work that is knowledgeable about our condition. We need accommodations to be accessible to us, if not baked into more systems for everyone. We need timely diagnoses, especially for girls/women, people of color, and intersectional folks who are all systematically under-diagnosed, misdiagnosed, and ignored.

Anyway, thank you for reading. Sincerely. Go give an ADHDer a hug. Peace and love. 🤙

I almost forgot it’s ADHD Awareness Month. I was diagnosed in November 2021 after several of my friends posted ADHD memes and I recognized myself in them.

Finally being diagnosed and on meds has been great, overall. It’s not a super power, even tho medication definitely empowers me.

Being on meds doesn’t give me more spoons, but it does mean my spoons are no longer all slotted.

I always seem to focus on the bad. A lot of people say "you can't think like that".

Sure I can! I wish I couldn't. I wish it was as easy as turning it off, but it's not. I'm ADHD, I have thousands of thoughts a minute, they cannot really be controlled. If they could, I would choose to forget all the bad shit. Then I wouldn't be depressed.

"Just be happy" right?🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

Hey everyone! Just popping in to say I'm not active here atm as you may have noticed 😄

I use:
-Twitter @ Finnattentive (Still there!)
-Bluesky @finnattentive.bsky.social (It's VERY promising! Twitter-like.)
-Instagram @ Finnattentive (Don't use much.)

Please find me on those if you fancy hearing me talk about my life as an AuDHD person 🤗

@PacificNic I'd be willing to bet that those people have depression and don't feel like doing anything normally, therefore taking them gives them the same satisfaction of being able to do something and enjoy it, the same way us #ADHDers do.🤷🏻‍♂️just my theory

Perhaps you didn't realize I had so many raccoon memes, but indeed I do. You're welcome. 🦝

Picture of 5 raccoons on or around a small stone pedestal or birdbath. The one standing on the fountain is larger; probably the parent. The other four appear to be babies or adolescents. The text above says "All of my brain cells gathering together so I can spell 'necessary'."

I had to gather all my brain cells to spell the word "adolescents."

Also one day I'll post ALL my #JesusMemes, b/c as a former #WorshipPastor and current #Exvangelical, I have a plethora of Jesus Memes.

Meme of Jesus holding his left hand up to his face, presumably in frustration. The text above and below his image says
"OMFG you guys. I said I hate FIGS."

This is in reference to the biblical story told in Mark 11:12-15 in which Jesus curses a fig tree b/c it wasn't producing figs (even though it wasn't the season) because he had a hangry.

4-panel comic called "Good Things," by Natalie Kovacs

1st panel - It's nighttime, and a raccoon is peaking from behind a tree. Text says "I deserve good things."
2nd panel - the raccoon is walking on all fours along the grass. Text above says "I am worthy."
3rd panel - The raccoon is holding her wee little hands together while looking up at a big yellow moon. Text says "I am aligned with the universe."
4th panel - The raccoon is sitting at a picnic table, with a slice of pizza in front of her on a paper plate. She is holding her hands up to her mouth and looking to the right. Stars are twinkling behind her on the purple sky. There is no text.

Art by Liberal Jane, (liberaljane.store)
of a orange tabby cat in bed, holding. a knife by its tail. A circle encloses the portrait. Along the top of the circle are the words "Low on spoons," along the bottom are the words, "But good on knives."
The kitty's bedding consists of a pink pillow and a pink windowpane pattern blanket. There are hearts and stars strewn around the cat. The background is a kind of blueish lavender.

So much of ADHD can be boiled down to "I'll just"...

I'll just be a minute!

I'll just finish this thing I do which I love and is neverending, then move on to that urgent task.

I'll just leave this here for now.

I'll just call them later.

I'll just put on my all-is-fine mask.

Text:
- Write down, said Mrs. Cast, and began to dictate.

Tom took a pencil and opened his notebook wherever his fingers fit. Somebody stared back at him from the page. Someone familiar. Rabbitman, The New Superhero, his own creation from age eleven, with his licorice-black skin-and-suit mixture and the yellow lightning symbol on his chest. Tom closed the notebook. ‘Tom Bright math’, said its front cover. Could it be that he never replaced his math notebook in four years? He reopened it, browsing for that page.

- Complete me, smiled Rabbitman. The two black strings behind his head swayed to his left.

What are your favorite #game mechanics? Or, alternatively, what elements in a video game are the most engaging for you?

An entire day spent uploading sound libraries I had already uploaded (but to the wrong place). 😭

Gif of Chris from Parks n Rec giving a thumbs up while holding a sign with the Jolly Roger skull and crossbones graphic on it that is labeled "Participant," while he says "I'm dead."

I wanted to post this for my #ADHDers and the #NeurodiverseSquad at large. These are low- to no-effort nutrition tips that I have accumulated over the years for "no spoons" days:

* There are a ton of veggies you can eat with no preparation at all. Baby carrots, snap peas, cucumber, grape/snacking tomatoes, mini bell peppers (the red ones are sweet and you can bite into them like an apple), romaine/leafy green lettuce, spinach, mushrooms, canned bamboo shoots/menma, jalapeños, bean sprouts, and a bunch more.

* Sardines. They are a great protein source and so damn nutrient-dense. All you have to do is pull the top off the can.

* Sprouts can be added to sooo many things. They're barely noticeable and they pack in a lot of extra nutrients. I like alfalfa sprouts, but there are also clover sprouts, broccoli sprouts, and others--and they're all super good for you. I put them on sandwiches, mix them into salads, wtv.

* Plain avocado oil is a fine salad dressing that's also a great source for healthy fat with Omega-3s. It's also good on rice, potatoes, or anything you'd put butter on.

* Oatmeal is a great healthy carb. Just get some instant oats and add water. Microwave or use an electric kettle. You can add some fruit and honey to make it sweet, you can add chocolate protein powder and peanut butter to make it decadent, you can throw sautéed mushrooms and chives in it and put a fried egg on top to make it savory.

* Peanut butter is my JAM, but almond butter is arguably better for you. Just find a nut butter with as few ingredients as possible on the label, but ideally one that is no stir. Eat it with a spoon, put it on bread, put it on apple slices, put it on put it on whatever. It can be high sodium, but if you're having trouble getting enough calories or enough protein: peanut butter.

* Are you having lots of no spoons days? Depression slump? Chronic illness? Let me introduce you to Tray™. Just get a normal tray, ideally with hand-holdy bits. Reserve a shelf in your fridge for it, and load a variety of foods onto it. Maybe some lunch meat, cheese, a bit of dark chocolate, whatever you want. Just put a bunch of zero-effort foods, then when you are hungry, remove Tray™, eat stuff off of it, return Tray™ to fridge. Just make sure to restock it every week.

* If you have the means, look into Instant Pots. Especially the ones with the air fryer. You can bake potatoes, make hardboiled eggs, rice, broth, and all kinds of basics really easily. There are also a bajillion hands-off, one-pot recipes that you can make with it. Dump some stuff in, put on the lid, press a couple buttons, wait a few minutes--dinner's ready. It takes so much time, thought, and energy out of cooking.

* Easy portions: your plate = 50% veggie, 25% lean protein, 25% complex carb. Add a Tbsp or two worth of healthy fat onto that.

I hope this helps! Please feel free to comment any tips you've picked up.

Below that, is a convoluted chart with several boxes with arrows going back and forth between them, titled "ADHD Storytelling."
A box at the top left labelled "Pre-story Prologue for 'context'" is connected by a vertical arrow, with a box below it labelled "START of STORY." It is connected by a jagged arrow going back up and to the right to a box labeled "Too many details." That box is connected to a box labeled "Semi-related side story." That box is connected to a box labeled "Wait, ok, back to the main story." That box is connected to a box saying "Something I just now remembered," which is connected to a box saying "Lose Train of Thought," which is connected to a box saying "What was I talking about?" which is connected to a box saying "Realize I've been talking too long" which is connected to a box saying "Wrap story up and finally get to the point," which is connected to a box labeled "END OF STORY" which is connected to a box labeled "Apologize."

I don't need the support--I despise when bra companies market REAL BRAS (with hook/clasp in back) as bralettes.

And going up in size results in FAR TOO MUCH fabric and bigger straps, which also cause their own issues. I just need the coverage for decency purposes, basically. I don't want to feel compressed all day like I'm wearing a sports bra, 'bout to run a marathon. 😓

Nope! I've tried SO MANY and they all squeeze me in a way I find intolerable. :AAAAAA:

ADHD-reading. Or more like an inconvenience:
I love to read! I looove to emerge myself into sci-fi and fantasy worlds.

I rarely read with my eyes. Only if that is my only option for a specific book —and the occational graphic novel. When reading with my eyes I strictly do physical books due to sensory issues from too much screen reading.

I prefer to listen to audio books while doing chores and repetitive tasks in my home.

#ADHDMemes #Neurodivergent #Neurodiversity #Wisdom

This #quote from #JosephCampbell came up on my #birthday years ago but this year it hits differently. It put into words what I felt but couldn’t articulate. After recently reading how #ADHD brains mature at a much different rate than neurotypical brains, it’s a little 🤯🤯🤯.

Maybe #mythology hearkened to me on a much deeper level than I ever expected. My understanding of how different I am from ‘the norm’ has only happened in the past 2 years. Yet I always celebrated being different, and decided long ago that striving to be like everyone else was a Bad Thing.

It still took years for me to listen to myself (it was a gradual process), but that’s fine. Little shifts in perspective add up over time until one day you find that you’ve done a 180 and are swimming against the flow.

To all my fellow #ADHDers & #neurodiverse peeps out there:

Take your time. Be true to yourself. You’ve got this.

https://whatwasidoingagain.com/adhd-asides/youve-got-only-one-life-to-live-and-you-dont-have-to-live-it-for-six-people/

Myths formulate things for you. They say, for example, that you have to become an adult at a particular age. The age might be a good average for that to happen––but actually, in the individual life, it differs greatly. Some people are late bloomers and come to particular stages at a relatively late age. You have to have a feeling for where you are. You've got only one life to live, and you don't have to live it for six people. Pay attention to it. (Joseph Campbell)

#ADHD #AdderallShortage #ADHDers #USHealthcare

This Adderall shortage is the WORST. I've been on a generic, and even that is backordered now. The pharmacy said I should call around to other pharmacies to see if they have it in stock, and then notify my dr. that I need a new scrip at that pharmacy. Bruh, do you know how much executive function that requires? Which I don't have without my meds? Would you ask a person who needs crutches to go through an obstacle course before you'd provide them?

I'm not a TV chef who can pluck fresh lemons from a tree in my garden. Lemons in the UK are dreadful esp since Brexit. Typically hard, juiceless, turn to rocks in the fridge or go bad really fast if left out. Also ADHD comes with it's own ingredients realities which #ADHDers will understand.

I buy a bottle of already squeezed spanish lemon juice (where lemons are great). It keeps better longer and saves you time.

For my lovely #ADHD community: Are there any #ADHDers out there that are big #readers? I've really liked #reading at certain points in my life and have really struggled with it at other points. I'm currently stuck firmly in a "struggle" period that I can't seem to shake.

I'm looking for ideas around making reading (especially non-recreational) more approachable, easier to do regularly, and ideally more enjoyable. What works for you?

@jojannekevdbosch
Pomodoro technique - quite a lot of us #ADHDers use variations of this. Particularly when our brain chemistry says no, those tax return figure collecting tasks are far too boring to cope with.

I have this cool little 3, 5, 10, 15, 25, 30 hexagon timer that I just turn a side up to start countdown, turn a diff way to pause or stop.

Makes it easier to do 25mins focus then 5mins of brain zipping around 200 topics to refresh etc

@actuallyautistic @adhd @actuallyadhd

@meshe business far more effective.

That is a piece of learning I would try to offer to #ADHDers in the workplace. If at all possible, try to get a structure of your responsibilities to play to your strengths & talents. Don't let some fictional #NeuroTypical ideal ruin your efficiency.
