Just checking in

Hi community,

How are we all doing ? We all have been through a lot over the past few weeks.

Try to remember to drink some water.

Try and keep your work space in one area.

Set timers when you are working. It is so easy to get lost in a project if you don't have the normal distractions to break it up.

Make a list at the end of the day of things you did and what you need to do for the next day.

Most of all. Be kind to yourself ! This is difficult for everyone. It is especially difficult for non neurotypical humans.

You are doing the best you can. Every moment doesn't need to be productive. It's okay to be upset. It's okay to have feelings.

Random

I very much need to sleep but oh well.

You know what i wish ? I wish we had more examples or adhd role models who are middle aged and take medication ( and maybe some who don't). I want to see adhd adults. I want to see successful ones, middle class ones, poc and disabled. I never realized how badly I craved accurate representation before.

I have never seen an adult with adhd on tv before. Let alone adhd person taking meds for it. The only time we see people with adhd is when they are super rich or famous and even then they are usually .....white men.

So. If you are middle aged. If you consider yourself an adult. If you have been taking medication. If you want show representation:

Add to this post. Whatever you want. A few thing about you, how old you are, some things you wish you knew. How your adhd has changed. What ever you want. I just need to hear that there are adhd people older than 26.

Shitttt

Itis almost 3am. (Est). And my brain is having all kinds of fun on it's own and having sensory issues.

Like when you put a toddler to "sleep" but they are really just making all types of messes.

What is everyone else up to ?

One is my brain. One is my body.

Auditory processing delay

Hi friends,

Looking to the community to see if you have any ideas. .

I am stage managing a show which means most of my notes are from oral dictation. As is a lot of other things.

I usually in my work life have a rule of please write it down/email. If possible.

Does anyone have tips on how to not look like you don't know what you are doing because you can't process quick enough.

The people at the company think i just have bad hearing/bad allergies that mess with my hearing. Which I never really corrected them on.

Annndddddddddd if any of you are adhd stage managers I would love to hear from you. I am pretty green going solo.

Life with adhd is like when someone asks you to hold something for a second. You don't really think that much of it and after you give the object back, you don't think about it again.

The literal have, have not. Do now, do later.

...except the object is your life. Lmao.

I wanna hold it for a bit.

I see your asks

Hi loves i see your asks. Work has been busy past few days.

Please remember to breathe. Make lists to stay organized and take breaks when studying.

Check the resources and other tags on the oage as well.

Follow through.

Does anyone else just feel like there is no point in starting new things because you know it won't last. I want to start a workout regime and it can never stick..

Sometimes adhd just wrecks havic in so many unseen ways, yet people assume that are doing "fine". When in reality you feel miserable because of your lack of mental ability to make the changes you want.
