Just something that made me laugh while watching the first episode of 'Playing Shakespeare' (RSC, 1984) as part of this week's assignment for my MA course.
Bit of banter between some of the best actors in the UK 🤣 Can't believe I'd never heard of this show when there's so many amazing actors in it!
my fave writing reminder
honestly, this phrase has been on my mind more times than i can count. i've kidnapped it, taken it as a hostage with no ransom money because i need it to live permanently in my head.
"If you bounce around, trying a lot of different things, you might worry that you'll never get good at any of them. But it turns out that kind of aimless curiosity is the perfect foundation for creativity"

I seem to actually have followers (hi!) so as a thank you, please accept these pictures of two of my foster kittens, Squish and Squash, in a particularly banging milk coma.
Please enjoy 🙏
Fostering was such an important and special part of my recovery, I'll definitely try to talk about it a bit on here! 💕

I think about this so often these days when it comes to how I talk to myself about 'mistakes' I make in managing my health or days where I feel I haven't done enough (or too much!). Such a helpful way to reframe it 💕

✨Daily ADHD hacks✨
From a postgraduate student in her 9th year since diagnosis
(aka things I do regularly that I don't think about anymore, but didn't know about when I was first diagnosed)
Analogue clocks
Put those guys everywhere. One of the best pieces of advice I found early on. Time seems actually real when I can watch it move around the clock! And visualise how long I have by the spaces on the clock face.
If you take medication, consider taking it with cranberry juice (or a cranberry juice mix).
This was a great piece of advice I got from an ADHD nurse (shoutout to Paul). It helps the medication last longer throughout the day!
On a similar note, try to avoid too much vitamin C right around the time you take your medication, as it can make it harder to absorb.
Write everything down.
You will not remember it.
YOU WILL NOT
(As in, you may remember many things, but the exact thing you need to know at the time may not be one of them. Save yourself)
Lists
I love lists.
When I was in the early stages of my recovery and everything felt like too much, I gave myself 3 things to do each day. Sometimes it was just like 1) get up 2) eat 3) read. But it gave me something to tick off and feel like I was going somewhere!
Consider using a diary.
This might not be for everyone, but for me, I really started to get the hang of scheduling things and actually getting my head around how much I could do in a day/week, and when things were happening when I started using a paper diary. Every year I get a 'Season's Greetings' set from one of my favourite kpop groups (whichever has the best diary/calendar setup that year), and that also helps because it adds the incentive of a special interest :)
Consider using a whiteboard monthly planner
I got one of these for the first time during my semester abroad in Korea when it felt like life was moving 200 times faster than it ever had for me and I had very little space to organise in. It was amazing, I could make a note on each day if anything was happening and then refer to my diary for details if needed, and see at a glance what was happening. Also good for pacing because I could see if I was going to have a busy week and try to plan accordingly! I started off with printable ones but now prefer the whiteboard kind because I can keep changing/updating it and it looks less cluttered.
A cute pill case(s)
If you take medication, this is really helpful. I make it a habit now to restock my pill cases at the start of each week (on a Sunday for me). I have 2 pill cases, one that's more travel friendly which holds a weeks' worth of lunchtime doses and lives in my backpack, and a traditional style dossette box that holds a weeks' worth of breakfast medication and lives on the table next to where I eat my breakfast. Since using this system with these particular cases, I haven't been caught short and haven't lost them, which is a minor miracle!
Find your thing
Try to find or think of something that always lifts your mood, even that little bit. For me, it's usually upbeat music. I set my alarm music as my favourite energising songs, and if I'm having a slow morning I like to listen to a morning playlist of similar songs while I get ready. I also play music in the car and it helps me chill out at the start of my day. Personally, I think certain kinds of music can be magic for ADHD brains, but this is just my opinion!
Keep moving
This isn't always straightforward for everyone (and certainly isn't for me), and as much as I would ideally do something energetic regularly, it doesn't always work out that way (if you can do something like martial arts, or dance, that would probably be amazing!) but I definitely find that if I've had a bad pain week and moved less, I feel more restless. When this happens, my go-to is usually just a simple stretching routine. It really helps to ground me and feel more aware of where I am. I still do love higher-energy movement, though, and fit it in when I can!
Be kind to yourself!
This isn't easy, but try to remember that you can't get it right 100% of the time, and it's okay to have bad days. Ask for help when you need it, be patient with yourself, and know that it takes time to understand your needs and build habits around them. You got this 💖
Let me know if you're interested in any more. I might post another of these or write a little more in-depth about some of the points.
it’s more than okay !!!

An aspect of adult life that I had no idea I was so unprepared for until it just happened to me: writing a note to say I've hit someone's car. What is the etiquette here? Are there rules?? What do I say?
"Sorry I hit you. It was an accident" sounds like I'm 6 years old in the playground. But surely I should say sorry- or is it just leave the details? Strictly business?
Would a crying face be too much?
It was almost more stressful than the accident 🫠
Someone please write a book or something about these random things we don't know we're supposed to know

Thank you 🥰
So I sort of get spoon theory, but honestly it never worked that well for me, but being a huge nerd, what I do really like is the idea that you have spell slots. Like you might only have one high level spell (say going to the store, for example), but once you’ve cast that, you still have smaller less powerful spells (making lunch) and cantrips you can use (listening to music or talking about my special interests). and you can get them back through a long rest, but sometimes your long rest is interrupted so you only have some of your spells the next day
I love this and think about it often! Using that system then, I hope I get a decent amount of XP for the medical appointment I'm heading to (that I really don't want to go to 😅🤣)
it’s finally the part of the semester where my body shuts down and implodes on itself
The way I panic every autumn and forget that I had a flareup the same time last year and it will get better 😅
