My limitless desire for information always gets hindered by my very limited memory.
There's nothing like the ADHD experience of going to google something and immediately forgetting what you were going to search so you have to look through your recent apps to find whatever triggered the thought, but then get distracted in the apps, then just rinse and repeat.😩
I would appreciate any tips on how to use Mastodon without it causing overwhelm/getting lost in it.
🧠My blend of #neurodivergence has a REAL hard time with this kind of platform (never got Twitter either), but I’m drawn to the community & connection here.
I’m like instantly a confounded 105-year-old when it comes to Mastodon/Twitter 🙃
Is it just me, or does anyone else with ADHD die a little inside after you spend 10-15 minutes writing out an explanation of something to someone online, only for them to ignore the help and have your time wasted?
😬This happens constantly to me. I'm starting to think "I need help with this" posts, even though I can probably answer it in really good detail, I should probably ignore because I'd waste my time.🤦♂️
No offense to anyone on this server, but I'm less than thrilled about my #Mastodon instance of choice. Local timeline is full of things I don't really care about. Considering changing...again. Lol I know I migrate a lot, but I'm trying to find an instance I'm happy with, so I'll keep doing it until I do.
Been looking at a few of the inmstances I think I might be interested in, mostly ones who have a lot of users who care about, #accessibility, #blindness, #disability, #neurodivergence, or #asexuality and think I might check out Tweesecake.social. Actually think I might have had an account there in the past, but can't remember which of my many old email addresses I'm trying to get rid of that I might have used to create it. Can't remember why I moved away, but I just requested to register again.
Getting diagnosed with ADHD as an adult feels like being told you suck at Mario Kart your whole life and then finding out your game generates 40 times more banana peels than it's supposed to...
ADHD involves so many micromoments of shame. Stepping over the pile of laundry. Re- remembering the bill you still haven't paid. The sink full of dishes and the
fridge leftovers lurking in the back. The small but recurring "I should have" is cumulative and it's painful...😬😩
My ADHD ass: Shit. It's almost 11 AM Which means it's almost 12 PM. Which means it's practically 3:00 in the
afternoon. Where has the day gone??!
Guess nothing got done today......🤦♂️😩
You don't need to tell me twice. You need to tell me 5 times, because I wasn't listening the first time and then the 2nd time l was thinking about how sad it is there's no baby butterflies and then the 3rd time I was trying really hard but you mumbled and then the 4th time I wasn't listening again...🤦♂️
Tip for those neurotypicals with Neurodivergent friends:
If you don't hear from your ADHD friend I promise they aren't mad at you. They are currently trapped in an inter dimensional plane where only YouTube/TikTok exists. They are dehydrated and have not seen the sun or have eaten more than wheat thins and string cheese for days.
