honestly the adhd discourse is healing something in me watching people outwardly defending ppl with adhd while being honest about what adhd actually is and how it disables us no matter how “stupid” or “unreasonable” it sounds

[✧ IArena ✧ @ReplayAria]

I don’t hold any resentment towards the NDs who are part of that crowd bc it’s what society has normalized for them and we share very similar struggles. But to the NTs, shame on you. Your dismissive attitudes for the sake of ego disgusts me

[✧ IArena ✧ @ReplayAria]

It was a “haha” moment for me but looking at it again, I’m genuinely kind of disturbed at how far my internalized ableism must have gone. I should not have to rely on shame as a motivator when it has fucked with my self-esteem over the years.

[✧ IArena ✧ @ReplayAria]

Oh I’m glad it’s not just me because when it stopped working I fell back into the cycle of “why can’t I do anything.”

Maybe I’ll try changing up the alarm sounds and see how that works

[✧ IArena ✧ @ReplayAria]

I’m also disgusted at the condescending attitudes some of these people have. Were it not for this revelation I had, I likely would’ve continued to view myself as a failure of a human being every time I failed to meet expectation.

@ClassicBoxy Ah of course, Amazon has everything. Very interesting 🤔

All I can think of when seeing all these questions about ADHD is this tweet.

Because yes, ADHD gets so bad they forget basic function, Janet

[God’s baby @sincere_worm]

@Jac1330 How does having ADHD make you fundamentally unable to set an alarm

[✧ IArena ✧ @ReplayAria]

@ClassicBoxy Wait thats kinda cool. I’m also intrigued what magical store you got this from

[✧ IArena ✧ @ReplayAria]

@WafflesInfo I said dance.

[✧ IArena ✧ @ReplayAria]

@windupgemma @TirisGhost Hard agree. The phone addiction does not help immensely unfortunately. Might not be the best solution to use it as my personal alarm but it’s the most convenient way for me to check emails so… welp

[✧ IArena ✧ @ReplayAria]

@WafflesInfo You’re in my court of entertainment now. Dance for me jester.

[✧ IArena ✧ @ReplayAria]

Wdym this has 1.5k likes. Wow. Insert hit tweet meme. Anyway I only joined in this discourse because some of the takes were irking me. For anyone who’s trying to start shit I won’t take you seriously! Just remember to brush your teeth :)

[✧ IArena ✧ @ReplayAria]

I guess this tweet got attention because of the image I attached. Anyway my alarm woke me up but it was checking this tweet that actually got me out of bed. Wow who could’ve guessed why 😃

[✧ IArena ✧ @ReplayAria]

@WafflesInfo And this is the exact behavior we should not normalize people. Take note. Remember that everyone is a stranger on the internet.

[✧ IArena ✧ @ReplayAria]

@WafflesInfo What an odd thing to say to someone. Hm

[✧ IArena ✧ @ReplayAria]

@MattEatsMochi I’ve done this before but thankfully he’s also in the forgetful boat so neither of us take it personally. It really does just depend on a bunch of factors and the probability of you remembering a thing that you told yourself to do later.

[✧ IArena ✧ @ReplayAria]

@windupgemma @TirisGhost Oh it sucks the most when you’re in the middle of something 😭 You’ll think you’ll remember later and then you don’t because you’re too focused on the current task. Funny how it works

[✧ IArena ✧ @ReplayAria]

@WafflesInfo Thank you for your insightful feedback to my response. I hope you are brushing your teeth regularly.

[✧ IArena ✧ @ReplayAria]

@WafflesInfo Wow what an absolutely fascinating assumption you have made just from one reply of me. But to answer your question, yes it gets bad enough that I forget to brush my teeth, thank you.

[✧ IArena ✧ @ReplayAria]

@zagreus92 Crazy. More reasons to not engage in that sphere for me!

[✧ IArena ✧ @ReplayAria]

@TirisGhost They really don’t work all the time, and I only figured this out because of this discourse trending. All this shaming rubs me off the wrong way when it contributes to a self-loathing mindset. Not very good for the mental health I shall say

[✧ IArena ✧ @ReplayAria]

@WafflesInfo Obviously not

[✧ IArena ✧ @ReplayAria]

@lamomomal The policing is really gross for sure
