After deleting a couple hundred (i hope) entries I have 1,440 videos in my "Watch Later" queue on YouTube. Rabbit holes I was going down 10 years ago. there is no way to mass delete. There is no way to mass select. The fastest way is to use your phone and swipe + tap hundreds and hundreds of times.

it sucks so much.

Also, pretty much every person who uses YouTube has this problem. :/

@masukomi I don't have this problem on YouTube. I have this problem with opening tabs for Articles That I'm Going To Read Later. I have well over a hundred tabs open just on my phone's browser. 😫

OC Dave the Diver isn't holding my attention.

So over the winter holiday or so Dave the Diver exploded onto the scene. I finally got to play it and I totally see the appeal! Super charming/chill atmosphere, great art and visual style that's super dynamic and playful, and a lot of fun mini-games comprising the core loop such as the Diner Dash experience of running the sushi...

@oatmeal This was me with my having gone undiagnosed until last year, when I was 46. It has all vastly improved since I got on meds.

Still, when those wear off around 8:30pm every evening, I crash hard -- and am back up, ready to do ALL THE THINGS, 15 minutes later. 🙄

Have you ever been so in your own head that when you start talking about what you've been thinking about, it doesn't make sense to other people, because they haven't been down your mental rabbit hole for hours?

@RickiTarr I have ADHD, so yeah. Pretty much daily. 😆🖖🤘

Practical example of why really is a disability.

Today it's extra strong. This morning within a ~10 minute period I...

  • forgot I was in the middle of making tea, and started making cereal
  • forgot I was making cereal
  • retrieved wifey's breakfast burrito from toaster oven and attempted to put it in a bowl instead of a plate
  • couldn't figure out which utensil was appropriate to give her to use with it. fork? Spoon? fork? Spoon? Big fork? No... spoon? Fork!

@masukomi Sweet RBG preserve me, all of this is so relatable! 😫 😆

Spouse told me this past weekend that for the first time he is seeing significant differences in my behavior since I got on ADHD meds 2 months ago. It was a relief to hear. I do feel different sometimes, but not all the time, and I was beginning to worry it was all just wishful thinking!

I still have days like what you described above, though -- and must remind myself that this was never going to be a cure-all.

Speaking of , I should've been in bed an hour ago, but I can't seem to make myself get up and go get ready and actually get in the bed.

SIGH

Discussing 10yo's ADHD with her after supper. We were snacking on chocolate chips, and she suddenly says, "Look! A poop on a Christmas present!" Case in point. 😆

There are many different sides to the "Dave Debate"

Should people named Dave exist? Should they have rights? Are they people at all?

I'm not anti-Dave, in fact I am a great supporter of Daves. I just think we need to ask some questions. But if you ask these questions people get so mad.

Shouldn't we at least have a sober reasonable discussion? What's wrong with that?

@atomicpoet @futurebird According to Connor DeWolfe, DAVE stands for Dopamine Attention Variability Executive Dysfunction, the new name for ADHD. Personally, I agree with him. 😁

Just updated my blog's "About" page (courtcan.com) & thought I'd share here as well, since I'm a newbie.

Hi! I'm Courtney.

My pronouns are she/her.

I am the wife of Ed, often referred to as "the husband."

I am the mama of a beautiful little girl known here as "CM," "the/my kid," or "[age]yo" (year-old).

I am the cat-mommy of Laddi (Galadriel) and Elli (Elanor).

By passport, I am an American; but I grew up in Germany, so culturally I'm a mutt (aka Third Culture Kid).

Oh! And since then, I've also been diagnosed with !

WHICH EXPLAINS A LOT

ADHD "guru" taught me the acronym , which I think is a much better nomer than ADHD.

sounds like something a neurotypical person might use to categorize my ways of being that the person considered bothersome.

ion is FAR more accurate in describing what it's like to be my brain.

Hi. I'm Courtney, and I have DAVE.
