#adhd hell brain

[mbrainspaz]

Oh, free time at work? You mean time where I’m not expected to do anything and could totally get away with working on my personal projects? Because nobody needs anything from me? Cool I’m gonna go on an hour long walk to the yankee candle store, sniff some candles, tell the overbearing employees I don’t have any money, and walk back in the rain.

me, a lifelong adhd-er who knows damn well how bad my symptoms can mess w sleep: “ok brain, right now it’s 9:30 PM and i’m actually feeling tired so i’ll turn in early tonight; maybe i can get more than six hours of sleep for once!!! sound good?”

my adhd hell brain: *after i’ve successfully gotten comfy in bed* “yeahhh we could do that i guess. OR how about we get stuck in the adhd hashtag void on instagram for a few hours, get emotional for no real reason and feel that rsd just bc nobody called back tonight, and then we could use up a solid chunk of sleep time to distract the rsd by setting up an adhd tumblr acc?”

me, realizing this post is being typed at exactly 2:44 AM: “…you know what, let’s go with your plan.”

Me: *sobbing* please!!! I need to work!!

My brain: THE KID IS NOT MY SON—but you didn’t have to cut me off—We All Live In A Yellow Submarine A Yellow Submarine—

I hate when I feel dysphoric cause then my adhd brain decides that it's time to unpack every little thing about my body that upsets me and then I just sit and feel gross. Which then kicks me into a sensory overload.

my ADHD brain is a toddler throwing a fit for immediate dopamine and I am the exhausted parent just trying to get through the store

Sometimes I really hate my ADHD cause it's 1:12 in the morning and my hell brain is telling me it's time to worry about every adult aspect of my life, and that if I fail at something at work then I'll loose my job and if I loose my job, I'll quickly become homeless, and if I'm homeless no one will want to help me because why should I get another chance to fuck everything up?

And I don't understand why I'm so worried, rents payed, so is almost every bill and there is food in the fridge.

Why must my dad be so performative in his support of me. "Oh I read this great article on parenting an ADHD kid" *proceeds to change nothing* "I'm such a great ADHD parent"
