Ever had one of those days where, it's been so frelling long that you've forgotten what it's like to not be in burnout but you're also just mad at everything because there's no way out of burnout?
No official diagnosis & your GP threw out the preliminary test that said […]

Imagine if Patrick McGorry was an ob/gyn.
"Oh endometriosis is over-diagnosed. It's just a trendy diagnosis. People hear about it on TikTok and self-diagnose. But I really do feel for people suffering; as I like to say, 'There, there little one."" 😛

Hmm 🤔. Seriously wondering if I've lost an hour or if BST just started in the middle of my evening in the middle of the week?
I'm guessing the former but it really feels like a switch was flipped & the day / clocks just jumped forward by an hour in the blink of an eye […]
Dear Old Git Time,
Please rewind, hold your horses, slow down, chill, take a break, hit pause, back it up, go back a bit, and a bit more, give me a chance, calm down dear, for the love of sanity STOP!
Yours Sincerely,
Tired of Always Losing Huge Chunks of My Day

"A staggering 78% of ADDitude readers say they’ve been gaslit by a provider, according to a poll of 194 respondents ... People with ADHD often arrive at a doctor’s office already questioning their reality."

Further to my previous post, an old blog post of mine, in which i note how "psychiatrists [and, i would add, health professionals more generally] are often in the position of being gatekeepers with huge power over the course of people's lives".

Was going to keep today a Do Stuff day so I could zombie my way through that (recovering from being up several hours earlier than I'm used to & having to people & adult most of yesterday) so I can actually enjoy my duvet day tomorrow.

"If work and school obligations evaporated, nearly half of ADDitude readers say their bodies would naturally fall asleep after midnight ...
"These results align with research that has found about 80% of people with ADHD have a delayed circadian clock."

I seem to have identified a bug in my systems.
No matter how much time (in hours not minutes) I give myself to wrap my head around prepping & even starting to prep for eventually going to be at or if possible before midnight, I somehow still end up not getting to bed […]
A bunch of mishapen doodles of a heart with an infinity sympol across it. Underneath, the words "Polyam Pride" are underlined.
when you have adhd and you struggle with basic executive function, a trick i like is to do any random thing that actually produces a result as a stepping stone to do bigger things.... hopefully today gets easier after this 😅

My getting up has slipped into the afternoons & I'm not happy about it.
Especially as in a few days I'll have to be up before 07:00 to be able to spend the day on an outing with friends. 🫣
Stricter morning routine?

Every time my Mam calls, she ends up messing with the screen controls & it's exhausting trying to remind her to keep her fingers of the screen.
I think she needs to hold the screen closer toner head so the controls get hidden / deactivate.
Tried explaining that she […]
It's like they think that not focusing is a choice I'm making, like I don't care and I'm choosing to think about other things. That's not the case. I'm doing everything I know how to do. It's just not happening. #ActuallyADHD
People without ADHD will say "try to focus", and I'm not sure I even know what that means. There are specific actions I can take, like taking my medication, setting timers, writing lists, etc, which can help. But for the most part, focus is just something that kind of happens to me. #ActuallyADHD
I keep having that #ActuallyADHD thing where I try to make myself concentrate, and a few minutes later, I realise I've just been thinking "PAY ATTENTION, PAY ATTENTION, PAY ATTENTION" really hard and not actually paying attention.
#actuallyautistic #actuallyadhd #actuallyaudhd #actuallyaudhd I just get so excited by things like this that I can build and use that I have to share them with everyone!
Yeah. Very ADHD.
