ADHD is one of the most painful things to live with. Not just because it's loud, because it's contradictory. You're capable of anything and motivated to do almost nothing. You understand everyone around you, but can't explain what's happening inside yourself. You have brilliant ideas, but no patience to finish a single one. You're a genius who can't handle an email, an extrovert who needs to be completely alone, a person full of advice who can't follow any of it. And the worst part? You know.
ADHD'ers, stop trying to build routines around what you should be doing; Build them around what you're already doing.
If you leave your shoes in the hallway when you get home, don't try to force yourself to put them in the closet. Figure out how to make the hallway work
The JunoCam instrument aboard our #JunoMission acquired six images of Jupiter's moon Io during its close encounter today. This black-and-white view was taken at an altitude of about 1,500 miles (2,500 kilometers). More images will be available soon at https://t.co/mGfITRe57Y

LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
Still can't believe it took 12 years for me to find out Vitamin C and citric acid reduce the effectiveness of ADHD meds.
(Increased acidity in your body makes it difficult for alkaline stimulants to absorb and work properly.)

A lot of the advice about academia on here either warns against going into it because it's terrible or recommends it strongly because it's wonderful. I'm considerably more ambivalent about it, and I suspect I'm not alone. Here's a thread about that (1)
I was super productive for two days straight, and today I feel like I am treading through water. That is how #ADHD feels, consistently inconsistent with energy, motivation, and output.
Lucy, you’ve surprised us again
New images from the #LucyMission’s first asteroid flyby show that a satellite, already unexpected, is made of two objects – a contact binary. This is the first time we’ve seen a contact binary orbiting another asteroid. https://t.co/NwQfI6k7qz
This is why we explore. Turns out that asteroid Dinkinesh is… asteroids Dinkinesh? During the #LucyMission’s first asteroid flyby on Nov. 1, we discovered that the main belt asteroid is a party of two, or binary pair! https://t.co/3aYWLvWmOw
Hey just dropped by to say that if you have #adhd and you also feel guilty and shameful all the time about all the shit you struggle with, simmer down. This is a brain disorder, it’s a disability. It’s not a moral failing. Go gentle on yourself, I know how hard you’re trying 🧡.
Welcome to the jungle, #MissionToPsyche. Separation confirmed from its @SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. The spacecraft is on its way to a metal-rich asteroid.

Here's a view of the OSIRIS-REx sample return capsule as it was released from the spacecraft toward Earth on September 24, 2023. This is a processed video made from images captured by the TAGCAM Nav-1 navigation camera, oriented so Earth is at the bottom & frame rate increased.
