This is the ADHD memes community.
It gets very frustrating when people comment on every meme suggesting that this feeling might be caused by something else. ADHD unfortunately has to fight pretty powerfully to occupy a space for just ADHD.

I don’t usually pay attention to whichever instance I’ve drifted into from all, so if you see me in a weird place, that’s why!

I have family visiting later this week so I have a ton of stuff I want done before they get here…
So of course I played House Flipper all day.
Additionally, I work 12 hour shifts, so I either have to do an IR in the afternoon, or an XR in the late morning…
There’s a thing called instant release and it tends to last only like 4 hours. 4 hours is what the doctors say- for me, it lasts about 1 and a half, or 2.
The boyfriend (also ADHD) and I both have it for people making eating sounds, like eating with their mouths open. Your mentioning smacking made me think of that. Agh!
I get real mad when people use ADHD as an excuse to be an inconsiderate bag of dicks.
I prefer to be interacting with several forms of media, yes. But I don’t need the sound up on all of them, and if I did, I’d put on my BT headphones and mix the sound levels individually. What an asshole.
I’m ADD as hell and I couldn’t have got with someone who played their things loud like that. I can tolerate one audible thing, but multiple?
4!
I was a big fan. There were some less awesome ones, and some very awesome ones, and some dropped storylines, but overall I recommend.
I get by on never taking my meds on my days off. It works pretty well for me. I’m aware I might be one of the lucky ones.
I have no idea if this helps but every single time a locksmith has to come out to save me, I offer them as much as they care to carry out of my giant bucket of candy.
If you check under the blanket next to the pillow, there is a sleeping kitty. He is greedy for pets and will meow at you.
This is a trap. If you start petting him, you’re never allowed to stop.
I didn’t get diagnosed with ADHD (didn’t even suspect I had it) until I was mid-thirties, and I gotta say… now that I have the medication, I’m glad I have it. It was a long road to get there but I mean, it’s nice to know, you know?
If you want, my DMs are open. I’m always here if you wanna vent. ♥
…You didn’t even offer me a snack for the road! What kind of host are you?
Also I brought tea bags. They’re quite nice.
So here’s some important facts I’ve learned from my doctors over recent years. Keep in mind, I’m not a doctor, and this information might be out of date (but I don’t think it is).
People with ADHD are often comorbid with depression, so if a doctor doesn’t treat the depression first, and gives the person with ADHD the medication to focus, it can result in the person with ADHD having enough focus to successfully make an attempt on their own life.
Fact two: many persons with ADHD doesn’t make enough seratonin on their own to function, which means if you’re being prescribed SSRIs, you don’t have enough seratonin to selectively reuptake inhibit.
But since the antidepressants for ADHD are a different class of drugs, many doctors will run through the ‘standard’ list before they get to the stuff that helps ADHDers. And then once they’ve done that, and ruled out all the things, they’ll move to “unconventional” treatment. Partly, this is because the process of trying different antidepressants can rule out things other than ADHD, and partly because they seem to want to rule out every other possible thing in addition to ADHD, before treating the ADHD. And if I were to guess, it’s because giving a person ADHD medication who has a secret something else (like bipolar as an example) even though the person has ADHD, the ADHD medication can worsen the other condition to such a condition that it’s better not to give ADHD medication at all.
This is why the process takes so fuckin long. And a couple years ago, I would’ve said it was stupid and a massive waste of time and harmful to the person with ADHD. But a year ago a friend of mine with bipolar was prescribed stimulant medication and his life absolutely went off the rails as a result, and seeing that first hand… I’d rather low and slow and not have to experience something like that.
Sorry for the word wall. I hope this helps!
After years and years of hard work and therapy, I’m now a hilarious mix of the two.
You might ask, “How is your sink so empty and your kitchen so clean, but your clean laundry is piled so high that this is probably your entire wardrobe here on the floor next to the dryer?”
Well, I would answer, “How did you get in my house and would you like something to eat?”
On the one hand, completely agree. On the other hand, this would only work for me if I kept one notebook for writing and one for doodling, because the instant I’m done writing, that page is filled with random little lines and swirls and drawings.
Yeah, but they’re also refugees. They probably have their own culture and lingo, and even if they didn’t, I support making them comfortable until they’re naturalized.
The subreddit for r/GenP was shut down, and their users were being directed here.
That’s what this post says anyway.
I hadn’t heard of genp until that post, but since they’re pirates, they’re welcome on dbzer0, the instance for pirates and anarchists.
There’s misplaced, lost, and I put it somewhere safe.
The last one is the most dangerous and you’ll never see it again.
