Pros of having ADHD:

Can track prey for hours without losing focus

Special interest: basket weaving

Always fidgeting - banging rocks together and discovers flint-knabbing

Distracted by berries

Stimming by making noises, discovers the sksksk that lures out squirrels

Can't sleep at night, great at guarding the cave while family sleeps

Sensitive senses means discovering and refusing to eat rotten/poisonous food

Sees bird eat nut - impulsively tries it too and discovers that nuts taste good

Cons of having ADHD:

Can't do homework

Impulse buys

Can't use a calendar

Can't sit still in classroom

Well fuck

[levonsnape-deactivated20230929]

Kind of a mood.

I often think about how sensory overload would be less of a thing if there was less noise and crap in the world. People out there making everything Too Much just because we can now. Some of us weren't made to have constant over stimulation.

When someone is explaining something to you and you get hit with the realization that you haven’t retained anything that has been said to you and the moment they stop talking you won’t be able to recall any part of it

I figure out I had ADHD last year, but I didn’t seek an official diagnosis and medication until this year. I’m 30 years old, my school days are long behind me. I slipped through the cracks because I have predominately inattentive type and I was a quiet little girl. Having ADHD does not mean you have to be hyperactive and loud, it means you have a processing problem in your brain that doesn’t allow you to regulate your focus or emotions. 

Mental health even now is still taboo to talk about. People are more open now than ever about it however and that gives me hope. 

This is a profoundly personal comic and it only reflects my own experience with ADHD. It is on a spectrum with a wide range of personalities. But if my story connects with someone else and helps them, that would mean the world to me.

[yashas-strong-arms]

it's so stupid, adhd is a dozen vaguely related neuroses in a trench coat, including such popular hits as

Can't Fucking Sleep Disorder

Can't Fucking Wake Up Disorder

What Is A Focus

Oops I Did It* Again (*Spent Thirteen Hours On Youtube And Forgot To Eat Or Drink)

The World Is Too Noise Today

All My Friends Hate Me (I Deduced This From A Three Word Text)

I Forgot About [thing] Literally As Soon As I Turned Around

...and they decided to call it Trouble Sitting Still Disorder?????

[nullannddvooiid]

Also consider:

Yall Ever Just *brain static*

I probably shouldnt act out on every impulse that comes into my brain, but I'm going to anyways

One (1) inconvenient thing happens and my brain decides to tank my entire week supply of serotonin

Yall mind if I *hyperfixates on a useless project for 20 hours and snaps out of it forgetting what year it is*

Yeah I really hate how people call it the Cant Stand Still Illness too.

ADHD is either:

I’m sitting right in front of you and looking you in the eye, but I have no idea what you just said

Or

I’m in the other room and listening to your entire conversation while cooking dinner

No in-between

[abcsofadhd]

ADHD feels like a contradiction but this dichotomy stems from the same issue: 

We have difficulty controlling where our attention goes. 

Our inability to focus and hyperfocus stems from the same issue too. Most of the time we can’t focus at things and sometimes we can’t stop focusing at things.

Holyyyyyy fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[physicsdykee]

things like this make me cry because i went so long before realising there was actually a reason for these things and that i’m not just a failure of a person

[mewithanie]

owch

[naamahdarling]

This fucked me up for a good 20 minutes.

My anger was my own heart standing over the beaten-down part of me and saying "You may be too whipped to feel it completely right now, but this situation is not okay and how they are treating you is not okay, so I am going to watch your back until you can protect yourself again."

I've been told hanging on to my anger is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.

No. It's me realizing I had the right to stand up from the table and not drink the poison I was being told was the only truth. It's me reclaiming the power I ceded to others in a desperate attempt to survive.

Never. Again.

The thing about adhd is like if you hit any sort of roadblock while doing a task, no matter how small an obstacle, it’s gonna throw you completely off track.

[adhd-vibes]

like for example:

I’m hungry and I want to eat. But when I get to the kitchen I realize I have to cook something. It’s not that hard but it’s something in the middle of where I am now and me eating. So I end up not eating.

I’m cleaning my room. There are dirty clothes all over the floor. But my laundry basket is full and so I can’t put my dirty clothes where they are supposed to go. Now my momentum for cleaning is shut down and I go back to something I know how to do, like change playlists.

and that’s on executive dysfunction
