Emily, with ADHD

Diagnosed with ADHD in 2008 at age 20. That explains a lot.

I've come to the realization over the few months that I'm 98% certain I'm autistic in addition to my (diagnosed) ADHD. Now I'm going to go obsess about this some more.

I've created my first list with Benable- a list of my must-have travel items. Why should you trust my recommendations? I've been traveling abroad for more than 20 years. benable.com/TravelMoreWi...
My must-have items for traveling abroad!
Heading out on a trip soon? I own the items on this list and absolutely recommend each one.<br>I've been traveling abroad for more than 20 years and have packing down to a science! I want to make sure...

It is really hard to be #unemployed when you have #adhd. I'm trying to keep some structure in my life but my brain knows there isn't *really* any need for a schedule. And the #timeblindness is REAL.

I was laid off today after nearly six years. I've had all of the thoughts today but my main concern is for all still there or in volunteer leadership with the org (medical assn). My heart breaks for them all. I should be mad for myself but I care more about them not hurting. Is this my #adhd?

The #adhdstim I hate more than anything is my fingernails. The feeling I get when I mess with them is so fulfilling. And if they're not even and smooth they drive me crazy. I bite or pick at them, then people judge me for my awful nails. Dip nails help but they're $50+. Blurgh.

Going through life with #ADHD is hard. This morning I've been at my desk for over two hours and I have accomplished absolutely nothing. So now I am not only fighting my brain to get something done, I'm also mad at myself for not being able to get stuff done. It's just exhausting.

If you have #ADHD you know how hard this is. Consistency is so important in exercise, but something I've always struggled with. A 20-25 minute #treadmillwalk every weekday for four weeks; the gains I've made are incredible. I'm not a #morningperson, but if I did this after work, it wouldn't happen.

I'm realizing I'm not as funny or interesting as I thought I was, and now I'm starting to regret getting this account.
Probably a relatively common thought and again, not interesting

Realizing that people in my grandparents' generation aren't 55 anymore...my grandma's cousin's wife passed away and oh, she was 86.

I did not want to get out of bed and walk this morning, but I did. For the past few months, I've been trying to exercise for 20-30 minutes before work, Monday-Friday. It hasn't gone well; there have been a lot of legitimate interruptions.
I'm trying to remember to just show up and do *something*.

Can someone explain to me why all the overnight oats recipes include dairy free milk and Greek yogurt? I mean, pick one or the other. It's silly to specify dairy free milk and then include dairy yogurt.

I hate having a cold. Not that that's news, or anything. I don't think anyone likes having a cold.

I've been blocking time in my work calendar for the past week and a half, as an effort to focus and be more productive at work. The first few days did not go well- I kept ignoring the reminders and pushing the blocks later. But something changed and now, it's going well. Fingers crossed!

Today I got up half an hour early and walked on the treadmill, I worked a full 7.5 hour, productive day, and worked on a hobby for 45 minutes. It's not even 7pm. Is this what a neurotypical person's day is like? What am I even supposed to do for the next 3.5 hours?

Ahhh, porch time. Does it get any better than listening to some good music and sipping a light drink in 80-degree weather?
