I just spent 40 minutes going through a plastic tub of pre-cut button designs to use with my work's button maker so I could pull out all the K-Pop group logos for a teen program next month. I love my job lmao

Trying to convince myself to start taking adhd meds is hard because what do you mean I need to take a drug to change who I am? What do you mean I'm not enough, that I need to be more? Why can't who I am now be enough?

this is why i did an investigative assesment on the effectiveness of adhd meds in highschool for my personal essay question. cause u can pick anything

understanding how adhd meds worked helped me feel less weird taking them

its all about dopamine reuptake inhibitors: thats the meds

tonic and phasic dopamine: tonic is ur baseline dopamine, while phasic is the type thats released for task.

adhd people have a lower tonic dopamine baseline.

basically when neurotypicals do a task it releases dopamine, but it leaves a little dopamine out between the gap of the receptor and doesnt take it all it, and it makes doing the next tasks easier

with adhd it takes all the dopamine out so then theres no dopamine lubricant inbetween the connections to make it easier to keep doing tasks

the medication, stops the neuron from taking all the dopamine between ur neurons, and leaves a little out, so then you have more ease doing tasks

this is why doing so simpler tasks after taking adhd meds can help it start getting working because the dopamine start getting between the receptors as your tonic dopamine levels go up

having low tonic dopamine levels makes it hard to focus and makes you crave quick dopamine hits like using your phone in order to supplement it so you can feel alert and normal.

the meds are just evening the playing field with neurotypicals

thats what i learned from my research

hope this helps!

i feel you may have been looking for a more emotional based compssion driven response to this

but for me facing the logic and facts helped me come to terms with it most and take away the magical thinking of a little pill thatd make me normal, if i can understand the mechanisms of whats happening in my body when I take it and how my body differs from a neurotypical for it to be able to work

[thatadhdmood]

see your getting it!

nothing to do with you as a person

vacuum in receptors too powerful, we need dopamine lube!

its a neurons issue not a moral failing

proud victim of the tumblr accent. it's fading out of public consciousness as the tik tok accent takes precedence; a linguistic evolution that makes the tumblr accent 85% funnier to unsuspecting civilians. it's like releasing a disease on a non-inoculated population. coughing baby versus hydrogen bomb.

once my therapist said I used very uncommon and creative phrases and adjectives and i just did not have the heart to tell that Old Lady From A Foreign Small Town that I was translating tumblr speech into our language. so I was like yeah... must be from the books I read...

like girl we have an army of scholars over at tumblr.com crafting our language it's not just little old me I swear

I once called a colleague's Borzoi a beautiful Gentle Alien, assuming the term had long since become commonplace outside of Tumblr, and discovered when he burst into delighted laughter at the term that it Had Not. I had to explain to him that I'm not a comedy genius, just repeating a niche meme.

I love seeing stores and cafes that display and sell shitty local art. Everybody on the planet should be making shitty local art. Everyone in the community should get to see what shitty local art everyone else is making. Eventually you will find something and be like hold on. This weirdly speaks to me. I've never seen anything quite like this, whether because of this person's idiosyncratic style or strange choice of subject matter or what. And suddenly your favorite piece of art is a collage painting done by a woman who waits tables during the day and does roller derby at night and uses the excess flyers and paper menus from both places of work to make amateur art on the weekends and you realize this is such a bizarre combination of circumstances that has produced something so striking to you, how lucky you are to live in a world where this got to exist and you got to see it

Comic #355 : Chronic pain is isolating - Website links here ~ Here's a comic for the spoonies, the suffering and the lonesome. Let's take ibuprofen together 🐻💊 That's right it's a double length comic! I had a lot to say that wouldn't fit in 4 panels 🥲

tongue in cheek art about weird bodies and waiting for a diagnosis

[spectrallydistracted]

Unless you’ve dealt with literal months (or years) of pain and fatigue and mysterious symptoms, then faced multiple doctors, hundreds of appointments, MRIs, blood tests, genetic testing, only to be told “well, at least we know what it ISN’T”—then I’m sure this meme makes no sense.

They really are “practicing” medicine.
