mod post: after receiving a formal diagnosis for adhd i kind of want to cry... it’s reassuring in a way? frustrating because i spent so long unable to receive care outside of self-soothing... but freeing in another sense. wow.

what’s the most embarrassing thing you’ve forgotten to do bc of ADHD? for me it was forgetting to flush a couple of times. it’s caused some really awkward situations. i literally don’t know why i forget to sometimes but i’m not dirty or lazy i just forget???
Oof, probably turn the stove off. Not so much embarrassing as it is literally life threatening 😅 I keep notes up now. What about y'all?
ADHDers: what's one thing about ADHD you wish was understood/ talked about more?
Mine is time blindness. For so long I blamed myself for being lazy/inattentive, and never considered that this wasn't some innate character flaw, just something I needed help with. What about you?
is there any way for people who can't afford to see a psychiatrist to get financial help?
i honestly feel like my life is falling apart and my inability to hold a job is very much contributing to my inability to get help for my adhd, there must be some way out of this vicious cycle?
Crowdfunding is usually very reliable to be honest, it may take some time but that can be the best route for most people. Do you mean government/disability assistance?
have you or any of your followers tried the N-back game and got any results? it's supposed to train working memory :)
I haven’t! What about you all?
i’m like in the process of getting a proper diagnosis for adult ADHD soon so i can get on medication and function like a almost normal...but i’m really really worried they’re going to just write it off as me trying to score some pills bc i’m a college student or something. :////
Hi anon! I’m in a similar situation, and I want you to know you’re totally valid in your concerns. Unfortunately ADHD is very stigmatised/often miscategorised as “hyperactive kid” disorder when really, it affects us into adulthood much more than what is seen on the surface level. I wish you all the best of luck with your diagnosis process.
Can this blog be for people with ADD too? I’ve been diagnosed with ADD and I feel like it’s very similar to ADHD except without the hyperactivity. But I’m not sure. If I’m stepping out of line I apologize!
100%! It is for all people with ADHD. It was recently categorised as ADHD-PI (predominantly inattentive, which was ADD) and ADHD-PH (predominantly hyperactive). Whether your diagnosis is ADD, ADHD (combined), ADHD-PI, or ADHD-PH, you’re 100% welcome here.
is being late constantly an adhd thing? because ive been late an hour or so for the past few months to school
Yeah it is, it’s called “time blindness” and is very common among people with ADHD.
It’s okay if taking care of yourself is hard right now.
Actually, happy stims are beautiful.
Someone's so happy that they literally can't contain it? They just have to move? That's the definition of beautiful. It's joy in one of it's purest forms and is something that makes living feel worthwhile to me.
no offense but you don’t have to be good at your special interest/hyperfixation for it to be valid
I hope everyone is doing well!!! I’ve been gone for a few years, and I’ve been plenty busy, but I really felt like coming back to this blog pretty often. I guess today I finally did huh?
Please give me some time to resume regular posting, and expect most posts to be queued (I am in college now! I also do art, and am a full-time admin for another blog. Kinda busy these days lol).
I am not quite interested in looking for admins at the moment despite my schedule, the blog is pretty dear to me haha ;;
I guess reply to this or send an ask about how you’ve been doing! I’d really like to hear from everyone again. Hoping 2021 has been good to you all so far :^)
Who's interested in seeing this blog come back? Since I (main owner) have a new main account now, I'll be transferring the posts over to that new blog (of the same URL). If you guys would like, I'm more than happy to put that effort in :-)
Guess who’s backkkk.......!!!

me: *can’t follow a conversation 2 feet away
also me: *can hear the annoying microwave beep noise in the neighbor’s house, while I'm in the garage out back*
hey guys! it’s your main admin Aurelia here. since i’m remaking my main account, i’ll be on this blog less. i’ll miss you all so much :(
adhd breakdowns are whack because ur bawling ur eyes out over some insignificant bullshit while simultaneously being unable to rid ur head of the chorus of All I Want For Christmas Is You
