adhd

I’ve heard people talk about asking for accommodations at work for their ADHD but I have not really heard of any examples of accommodations that have been given for this reason....

Does anyone else feel a degree of imposter syndrome with work, like it’s only matter of time until you can’t work around your ADHD enough to avoid problems and everything falls apart?...

So I recently started to recognize a lot of the behaviors associated with ADHD. I was and still am in doubt whether I have ADHD or not, but some specific events caused me to ask my doctor to refer me for a diagnosis. I was actually doing quite OK-ish this year, after having struggled with self-worth, short depressive episodes...

Recently I feel like I’m working, sleeping, or waiting for work to start. I hate it, I can’t figure out how to break this waiting mode. Does anyone have any advise?...

I’m going to assume you’ve heard the stereo-panning version of the record player song that did the rounds....

Hey everyone, I saw a community called ADHD Talk, but it’s got no users, so I came here instead....

It was a phone call. That’s literally it. I spent months procrastinating making a phone call that ended up being short and virtually painless.

I take on or start too many projects, and often get to a place where they’re so intertwined and tangled that I just stall....

TLDR: Have you any tips or resources about how to be motivated to do things which you enjoy having ADHD in mind?...

My childhood best friend is ADHD, all but 1 of my other childhood friends is ADHD and about half of my current friends that I hang out with are either ADHD, on the autism spectrum or likely to be but as yet undiagnosed.

Put clothes in washer....

I’m studying for a test and the only resources I have are the presentations and somebody’s notes in text form. It’s a knowledge-retrieval test (no counting/reasoning), and unfortunately I don’t know what the questions look like so it seems I really will have to go through everything covered....

Are there any other books where the main character seems to be neurospicy?...

Often I end up closing the list and immediately turning to self-soothing. And because there’s no way to know in advance if a task on the list will give me anxiety, this often results in my list being not just unusable but unreadable, preventing me from doing or even remembering the non-anxiety tasks on the same list.

Originally saw this posted by The Picard Maneuver. I can’t figure out how to tag him on Voyager.

I’ve been diagnosed by my former therapist but I feel things are getting worse these days....

It took ~5 minutes and there was ZERO pain....

I need some help when it comes to clearing out, organising and sorting my stuff....

I dont mean depression or anxiety (this feels different), I mean feeling like you never really recharge, like youve never gotten time off ever. Which I think is partly due to a tendency to put literally 100% into something until you feel fried, move on to the next thing rinse repeat. Even “down time” doesnt really feel like...

I appreciate the fact that some employers recognize that some of their employees struggle with cognitive disorders. But, asking someone with ADHD to click through a very boring presentation about neurodiversity is almost peak irony. Not to mention, trying to distill such complex disorders down to one sentence is practically...
