@theadhdmanual I *know* you can do this; you did it before! (reference to that one time all the planets were in alignment and hyperfocus mode was switched on all day).
@XxScottish123xX @DonwanOlasa@kathyinbrooklyn@johnpiano@ConSelfOwns Maybe bc the people setting up the binary online shirt store you’re using and the expert scientists studying the complexities of gender aren’t the same people.
@SparkleClass My doc made me take home a form. Would not let me fill it out in office. Had to bring it back. Lost it immediately. When I told him what happened he said “Ok yeah, you have ADHD”.
@jk_rowling I’m pretty sure that’s supposed to read “Ignorance is Strength” with the clear subtext that it actually isn’t so maybe calm down with that shit a little bit, no?
@theRGDaniels @sage_stage It takes strength to stay but it also takes strength to leave when it becomes necessary to do so. Don’t ask if you’d be the kind who’d stay or leave, ask if you’d be both strong and discerning enough to know which you needed to do and then do that. 💜
@NC5PhilWilliams Save it all for the kids. If there’s truly a shortage, antivaxxers can gth but kids who have no other line of defense should absolutely be given priority.
@NuclearAthletes Congratulations! I’ve heard a staggeringly large amount of shit takes on mental health but yours is by far, the ✨shittiest one✨!

@blkgirllostkeys If I’d been asked this years ago I’d have said I fit the bill, but there’s lotsa weird 💩 now. Not sure how much is connected to adhd but some of it must be: PTSD, anxiety, sleeeep issuuues galore, bouts of depression, ambiguous GUILT, celiac + other autoimmune stuff. 🤷🏼♀️
What is something people tell you or criticize you with that really hurts you and then get told a variety of "you're overreacting" or "you take everything too personal"?
For me it's "why didn't you do xxx like I told you to?" or "You always forget to put xxx away"
@findelics Both are important for me. They help in different ways. Both are misunderstood and stigmatized in different ways by different groups of people who don’t understand one or the other. Both are good things.
@SNeurotypicals It looks good but I’m sorry, I cannot stop reading it as “SaTaN” even though I know it does not say that. By brain puts the A’s in there whether I want it to or not. For this reason, I’m not sure if I can get used to this one. Sorry. 🤦🏼
I was really upset that homeless people did not have access to the $1,400 stimulus check.
I just found this out. If you are homeless, you can go to a tax return office where they will file something called EIP return. They will put the money on a debit card after.
Retweet.!
@findelics Not quite how it works. If you can “just focus” at will for 25 minutes straight, it might not be ADHD. I can only do this if it’s a hyperfocus and even then, one can’t just *stop* hyperfocusing. If I forced myself to stop hyperficyfing for 5 min, I’d probably never get it back.
I always feel like I’m barely keeping afloat and it takes soooo much energy just to eek by. There’s more now of course. More responsibilities, more to keep track of, more to clean. But I felt like this then, too when it was just me.

Had a productive day yesterday so naturally today is a stupid potato.
In my funk I somehow randomly remembered a kid I used to watch in a church nursery I worked in when I was a young adult.
I found his Facebook profile. He went to aeronautical school and has a receding hairline now. This has me feeling some kind of way that I can’t quite explain. I feel like I impact the world in lots of small ways like that but never seem to do anything or go anywhere myself.
