Having adhd be like

[bomberqueen17]

* Chrome crashed and lost my browsing history and the like 97 tabs I had open. Some of them had been open like. a year. Which like, whatever? but. I have literally no idea what was open, and a lot of times, for a lot of things, it’s only because the tab is still open that I ever remember a really important thing I was going to do. So I’m kind of in shock over that and maybe am going to die from the shock, so there’s that. 

* I’m going to a letter writing session tonight with the Stronger Together peeps, and I have a packet of blank postcards and a black and white laser printer. I’ve already done a run of Isaiah 10:1-4 quotes (”Woe to those who make unjust laws”) and this printer is so bad they look awful but whatever. I’m just trying to think of a couple of other ones I could do real quick. No Ban No Wall, for sure, but maybe I Stand With Planned Parenthood? Something along those lines. Homemade and ad-hoc but heartfelt. 

*I have just been informed that while Oliver Cromwell is somewhat of an icon among English nationalist troll types, he himself was actually astonishingly not-racist, and was expressly pro-Muslim, which is really shocking given that he died in 1698. Also apparently the fact that he beheaded a sitting monarch is kind of handwaved away by said nationalist types. This blows my mind. 

* I was thinking more about my rant about my family’s immigration story, and trying to come to some fumbling point about it, but that’s got to be part of the point-- people are dismissing the protestors and saying “if you don’t like it then leave” but where am I to go?? My ancestors came here because of the whole beheading-the-English-king thing-- even if somehow I could manage to get England to take me back just handwaving chronology, the fact that my ancestors were goddamned insurrectionists has got to count against me! Seriously though, where would I go? And more importantly, I don’t believe that gives me any greater claim on being an American. I have nowhere else to go, because my family has been here so long-- but that doesn’t make me more American than someone who made it through the DHS vetting process and the arduous path to citizenship and has been a citizen for fifteen minutes. Clearly, they chose to be here and have fought to be here, and have as much right to be here as me, and wouldn’t have bothered with all of that shit if they had somewhere else to go!!

Anyway. 

Current events: here’s a CNN video of my Congressman crying on air about the ban, literally crying, and on the one hand it’s great that he’s involved and apparently feels this deeply, but on the other hand, wtf. I just wish I had context. What exactly is he so deeply personally viscerally upset about? I don’t know him that well, I’ve been approximately familiar enough with him to know him on sight for a few years because he’s been our rep for approximately forever (I mean, a couple election cycles anyway!) I know he’s mad for being on camera, but I mean. Politicians. That’s what they do. 

He’d posted a photo op of himself and the family standing behind him, earlier-- he was all cute, face down near the table’s surface to mug at the small child whose elbows were resting on the other side of the table-- maybe he was moved by the family’s story? There wasn’t much info about who they were but the mom was wearing a hijab. 

Was he crying because of the constitutional crisis? Was he crying because of the chaos? I’m not sure, I’m mostly just confused.

But. He was there, he didn’t Tweet about sports, and if nothing else, he has clearly taken the pulse and temperature of New York City, and given that, is going to hopefully Do Something now that it’s Monday. 

DO SOMETHING. PLEASE GOD, DO SOMETHING.

That adhd feel when

You do something stupid and impulsive in front of your parents and they give you the Stare of disapproval and disappointment™️

Yo adhd people of tumblr

I need to know if any of you start to twitch uncontrollably when you try to sit still for to long.

I’m trying to stim less in public cause it makes me embarrassed, but then like if I’m sitting down randomly my leg will just go from being completely still to bouncing violently up in the air or something and I feel like that’s an adhd thing but I’m not sure

This is what adhd feels like in picture form

You go on tumblr and search up “adhd”, and all of the posts you see are walls of text, and complicated words

”Hahahah isn’t that ironic” you say, and then you die

If you have RSD and have time to help a stranger out please read!!

I need advice cause I’m getting desperate. Basically I isolated myself from my friends a few months ago, cause every time I was around them I felt like shit and it felt I was ruining the mood for everyone. I would barely talk and I would still go home crying cause of how much of a bother I felt like.

Problem is that school is starting in a month (I’m going to university which means that I’m going to a new school with new people) and I’m scared to make friends cause I don’t want to feel like I’m ruining anyone’s day by having to be around me. And at the same time being alone is slowly killing me inside.

How do y’all deal with RSD when it’s constant? I’m scared of making friends but I can’t deal with being alone any more so if anyone has any tips on how to deal with it in any way please tell me🥺
