@Howard

I was diagnosed with adult-onset #adhd during Covid lockdown. The Psych discussion was centered on how certain behaviors were symptoms that support the diagnosis and how others were coping mechanisms I had come up with to try reigning in the disarray. Then came the medicine trials, they will not be the right one or the right dose at the beginning so ask for adjustments. When the local area reopened I had a battery of tests with and without meds to document what areas were affected.

I am struggling to sleep as I have my first appointment with my doctor about my possible #ADHD tomorrow. I'm a little nervous because I don't know what to expect.

Would you mind telling me what I might expect from an adult diagnosis?

Sorry, I know this sounds really pathetic, but it's been really bugging me.

Oh dear, now the Daily Fail is going against ADHDers too?

I don't care about the merit of the article, anything coming from the DM should be globally accepted as FAKE, exagerated or misleading. I care about the intention of the article which in this case is generating doubts about ADHD meds, diagnosis and even existence.

The point is always the same, divide and conquer. Distract the populace with anything but the billionares ripping off the UK by generating debate on non-issues.

Introduction for this years #FinishOrFrogAlong ! I am living in France, and I am a multi hobbyist (craft #ADHD anyone?). For everything yarn I dabble in #knitting, #crochet, #sewing, #embroidery and #handSpinning ! I own a spinning wheel, some spindles, too much yarn and fiber and fabric, and enough needles and hooks to open a classroom !
With three young kids, I never have enough time to do all I'd like. But I start all the projects anyway, so I am excited by the prospect of clearing some !

In South Africa, Christians are going to the police and falsely claiming that transgender people are mentally ill. This often results in trans people being taken to hospitals against their will. Where are the protections for us? It’s clear that we are being targeted here in SOUTH AFRICA!!

I am trying (once at least while it is novel and therefore attractive) an #ADHD hack I read about.
Woke up and went straight out for a walk. Under 2km but up a very steep hill, 24 minutes and managed to almost completely miss the rain.
Will see how it impacts the day, but first coffee

Zo. Na een maand weer aan het werk. De laptop openen, en dan moet ik het hardware wachtwoord invoeren. Moest 't even opzoeken. Benieuwd wat ik aantref qua mail en Slack berichten.

Vandaag neem ik ook een timelapse van 30 minuten op van mezelf terwijl ik aan het werk ben, om te vergelijken met morgen, als ik ga beginnen met het testen van de #ADHD medicatie.

When somebody puts a heart on one of my toots (thank you!), I usually see that toot again for the first time since I wrote it.
Sometimes, I then discover something I do not like, such as a spelling mistake, and then I fix that.
So, a) I like that I can do that in the Fediverse, and b) when you like any of my toots, and then you see an edit, you may have been the one helping me discover whatever wrongness it was 🙂

Anybody else experience note overload?

lemmy.world/post/35268447

lemmy.worldAnybody else experience note overload? - Lemmy.WorldI’m not sure if this is part of the vanilla ADHD experience or if it is partially (or even mostly) the information overload landscape we now live in but: Every time I set a serious goal such as losing a certain amount of weight or reaching a reading milestone every week, I utilize my note system to confirm it’s on my to-do list and get reminders from my calendar as well as reminders app to check in with it. The problem is, by necessity my notes have to also be the destination for my random one-off ideas and brain dumps, not to mention being an archive for the graveyard of previous goals. The alternative is to not save this stuff at all and let a potentially good idea fly away forever. I stick to one short main digital note for the serious stuff and the literal to-do list, but in situations where either my phone or physical pad is not available I have to use the other as a temporary buffer and consolidate the notes to their correct locations later (I prefer digital thru phone for tasks and referential info and physical writing for journaling). These temporary solutions have become the standard and I never remember where my actual goals are anymore. The calendar is okay but I’m usually out of the house when a reminder hits, and I’m definitely forgetting that by the time I get home. I could liberate myself from this prison of my own making by forsaking every note of mine to the abyss and starting over, which sounds very spiritually attuned but I worry that I will simply create the same situation again by not addressing the root cause (my brain, forgetfulness, perfectionism, and habit structure, I could have LBS for all I know creating the brain fog in the first place as I haven’t had a blood panel in 5 years) I could also pick one goal and stick with it in a critical disciplinary tough love sort of way until a single habit such as the gym sticks. I’ve actually done this before with the aforementioned as well as certifications for my job on a separate occasion. This tends to be my go-to, however some “emergency” usually wipes the importance I’m ascribing to the single habit such as a new debt collections letter or some car issues., making that transient situation the new active habit of militaristic focus. By the time I get it sorted I’ve either forgotten my original goal or otherwise consider using the layover as a mulligan for something new that I now think is more important :| So yeah these are the dilemmas, just want to know if y’all relate or want to share your own stories. Peace
