I keep telling people that I have been diagnosed with a condition that makes organisation and tasks way more difficult and stressful for me.

And they are like 'that's cool, so here is a bunch of stuff we need you to organise and coordinate'

Then:

'Why are you so stressed?!'

AuDHD culture is knowing lots of things, but barely being able to articulate any of it

[pacificseaotter]

[thatadhdfeel]

That ADHD feel of being impressed people can do things they said they want to do immediately and even on my most immediate and transparent times it takes me like a month

[typically-divergent]

i must exude delusions of grandeur in order to mask every self loathing thought that clouds my mind

[audhd-culture-is]

AuDHD culture is reading a lot as a child, but having trouble reading as an adult

[upsetgazette]

Apparently, some people have quiet brains that aren't completely lost in thought at any given moment? Wild.

Energy drinks are so funny to me, as a person with ADHD

They're like a gamble

Because I either am hyper as hell after drinking one, or I loose all energy and am just absolutely exhausted for the next several hours

There is no in between

Which is honestly why I rarely drink them lmao

[beggars-opera]

Me between hyperfixations staring blankly at the computer screen while my brain makes a faint whirring sound

[adhdandcomics]

sometimes im like “maybe adhd isn’t so bad” but i just stood in the kitchen holding a cup of soup for 5 minutes trying to decide if i wanted to eat it and i couldn’t decide so i set it on the counter and walked off to sit on the floor and only questioned 10 minutes later why i thought going over to sit on the floor would help me decide if i wanted to eat soup. it didn’t help btw.

Tips for Executive Dysfunction: Getting Ready

(Just some ideas and stuff that works for me.)

the colors may be a bit of an eyesore but i like them so...

Getting out of bed: the hardest of tasks /hj

Phone on other side of room - Not as much reason to stay in bed if all there is to do is stare at the ceiling. Works better when you're very prone to boredom and can't normally sleep excessively.

Alarm on other side of room - Set an alarm and sit it out of reach before you go to bed for extra encouragement to get up. Works even better if you have housemates and your alarm is something you don't want them to hear. i play sburban jungle

Water?? - Keep a bottle of water by your bed. Nothing else. Just water. Bored? Too bad, all there is to do is drink water. Speedrun desperately needing to pee, and get yourself out of bed and to the bathroom ASAP. Congrats, you got up. (Do NOT do this if you're in a bad enough state of executive dysfunction that you'd consider relieving yourself in the now-empty bottle rather than getting up and going to the bathroom.)

Cold weather, warm clothes - If it's cold in the morning, try sleeping while wearing a coat and warm pants, rather than wearing lightweight pajamas and depending on blankets alone for warmth. Now you can get out of bed without leaving all the warmth behind.

Changing: why is it so cold (i may be anemic)

Assemble outfits the evening before - Use less of your limited mental energy in the morning.

Warm clothes pt. 2 electric boogaloo - Put outfit for next day in your bed the previous night. Consider shoving the clean socks and underwear in the other clothes so they don't get lost in your bed while you're sleeping. Now you have warm clothes to change into. You can even change before you get out of bed for maximum warmth.

Bathroom multitasking - If you didn't change in your bed and need to sit on the toilet, bring your clothes in the bathroom and change there. No point in taking your pants off twice if you only need to do so once.

Miscellaneous

Pill cases - Organize your vitamins and/or medications into pill cases that are labeled for every day of the week. (Do NOT do this if you think there is a risk of intentionally taking too much. Same goes for if the house has extremely high humidity and mildew issues.) Place the pill cases beside a bottle of water for easy taking. They live there now. Sit your next dose on top of the pill container so it's easier to remember to take it later. Lay pill cases in a line by day and put the current pill case at the end of the line once you've taken out the pills for the day. Set a calendar alert to refill the pill cases at the end of the week.

Peer pressure (positive) - Need a quick kick into action and find out easier to do stuff when asked/told? Message a supportive groupchat to ask them to tell you to do a specific task ("someone please bully me into taking a shower" is something i commonly use). Similarly, write a checklist everyone in the house can see, and/or set public reminders for yourself so you have more ways to hold yourself accountable (i'm a fan of discord's yagpdb and its /remindme command).

symptoms of OCD other than just “obsessions” and “compulsions”:

doubting everything constantly

dissociation

trust issues

difficulties making and maintaining relationships

having a great memory but not trusting it

difficulty getting to sleep or staying asleep

fear of sleeping in case of nightmares

hoarding

procrastination

perfectionism

… and more!

OCD is a super complex disorder that can lead to a broad spectrum of issues. it is way more than just “the obsession disorder”

Therapist Red Flags

Therapy is important and can be really helpful, but not all therapists are good at their job. Here’s a few things to look out for when you’re seeing a therapist:

Not listening to what you tell them

Ignoring confidentiality (except in emergencies)

Making you feel judged or ashamed

Ignoring or trivialising your needs

Consistently being late

Making fun of your needs / accomplishments

Being judgemental or critical of you

Not taking your feedback on sessions into account

Condescending facial expressions or body language

Ignoring what you want to do / accomplish in therapy

Talking too much about themselves

Making you feel like problems are all your fault

Being insensitive to your culture or religion

They’re making you feel bad about yourself

Using the phone or getting distracted during your sessions

Attempting to make romantic / sexual advances on you

Making you feel stupid or invalid for what you say or how you feel

Forgetting important details about you / your life

Pushing you too hard before you’re ready

You wondering if their behaviour is a red flag. If you’re looking it up then chances are you already feel uncomfortable in therapy. You should never be forced into seeing a therapist who makes you feel uneasy. There’s no shame in leaving and finding a different therapist.
