I got a little to grumpy today and didn’t handle myself well due to being over stimulated in the car, but it’s not always like that. It was a good day with good times. I have to remind myself that our brain likes to focus on the negative, when that was just a blip.
Nachdem ich mich jetzt nicht mehr vorm Fensterputzen drücken kann, kann ich mich jetzt vorm Optiker drücken bis mich die kleinen Kratzer auf der Brille in den Wahnsinn treiben.
Working at an agency is so hard for someone with #adhd, since the main product is actually sitting down and spending time concentrating and billing it to clients.
I had to pay the #adhd tax again today. This time it was a cancellation fee for a triple vet appointment that slipped my mind until 12 minutes after I would have needed to leave to make it on time.
Trying to power through, hoping that if I forget I have #ADHD the symptoms and my limitations will disappear. What could go wrong... The things I would do to have a normal brain.
Today I went to a hardware store and bought a rubber mallet and used it to fix my car with a few good well placed whacks and then was proud of myself for doing something that required executive function when I'm out of my regular #ADHD meds.
current mood: trying not to start yelling at the walls about the fact that pharmacies are struggling to fill one of my scrips because i have things to do on wednesday and thursday that are much harder when i'm nosediving off methylphenidate.
it's not like it's an uncommon scrip. and the shortage of the alternative med should have rotated people back by now?? #healthcare#unitedStates#ADHD
Sharon Saline: "So let's talk about why compassion, . . . and even I think self compassion, and its very close friend, radical acceptance, these two are very important for people with #ADHD. . . . you get messages about what you could do differently. . . . You need to do this, or stop doing that. . . . over time, what happens is that you develop a hyper vigilance about yourself, like when is the next time that I'm going to do something that isn't the right thing. . . . doing the quote sign."
Sometimes I wish the magical brain fairy that absolutely exists would make me neurotypical just long enough to figure out how to make my house pretty. I’m not asking for an interior design degree or anything (although that would be nice); I just want my home to not look like the inside of a dirty thrift store run by sad slobs.
