DID YOU KNOW…
That cortisol is deregulated in ppl with adhd?!
And
It contributes to why it can be so hard to fall asleep at night and wake up in the morning?!

    When a person w ADHD asks you a question, they genuinely want to know. They are not challenging you or berating you.
I learned that many neurotypical folks ask qqs to belittle u & assume u do also. Then say ur giving excuses when u explain.
Like: why did you do that?

      The fact that I don’t miss you or hit you up first doesn’t mean I don’t love you or don’t fw you. I’m more of a responder bc I’m always all over the place.

      Question for my #blacksky cousins with ADHD. Have you ever struggled with rejection sensitivity dysphoria? 
I have. Still do. For me, it mostly shows up in a work context. I get terrible anxiety if I mess up or feel something I delivered will be perceived negatively.
What about you?

    I'm very similar. I get very overstimulated sometimes and then I become a hermit and nothing gets done for a while.

    There may be validity to what your saying, but I'm fascinated by the findings related to the brain scans. This is especially true as someone who experience a traumatic brain injury to the frontal lobe in an accident and later being diagnosed with ADHD.

      Would picking up on people’s tendencies and repetitive actions qualify?
If not, I’d say logical thinking and processing, although that’s not always great when considering emotions.

    - Get good grades
- Do relatively well at work
They never see the struggle that occurs behind of closed doors:
- panic
- procrastination
- rejection sensitivity dysmorphia
- difficulty prioritizing
- anxiety attacks
- tears

      Find you a good psychologist that does the assessment, or do the assessment on the ADHD site and have a doc review to confirm. If you do want to go the medication route it’s best to know type you have.

    Have you ever heard of or tried the “Bionic Reading Method”?
Apparently, if you have ADHD, it’s supposed to allow you to read 2X your normal speed!
What could you accomplish if you could read 2X faster w/o getting sleepy?

    If you have ADHD, or another form of neurodivergence recognized as a disability, 
1) have you ever registered as having a disability with your employer?
2) has it made a difference for you?

      Unfortunately, I’ve found listing I have a disability on a job app leads to me not even getting a phone screen or interview which is why most folks won’t self-disclose.

    I can get hyper fixated on organization. Like I would miss sleep to fold socks. I would put meeting time on my calendar to organize my clothes in the closet. Spend $$$ on storage bins and shit.  😭😭😭

ADHD paralysis is a symptom of ADHD that makes it hard to focus and complete tasks. It can feel like being stuck in a mental loop, unable to start or finish tasks.

    I have a few:
1) try the Pomodoro method
2) use chatgt to give you a place to start
3) do cognitively heavy stuff first thing in the morning
4) get a body double - get a friend to sit or work beside you
5) turn on tv or something for Boring mindless tasks

      What are your ways as someone with ADHD to function do tasks that are required but you aren’t interested or motivated? I’m struggling with uni assignments and I’m struggling to even start let alone finish it.
