NotTooOld

exploring and working out what it means to be diagnosed with ADHD when you’re in your middle years.

I can’t leave yet! I’ve lost my password to confirm I want to go! 🙄

Giving up on this profile! Haven’t been checking it. I found #ADHDTwitter mostly helpful when I was getting my diagnosis but less so now. Keeping my life as simple as I can so I will be deleting profile.
Those of you who want to can ask for my personal profile by message.

@food_writer Linguine because it ‘feels’ so wrong!

@smalltruths @adhdadultuk I couldn’t organise feeding on a schedule (much to annoyance of grandparents 😆) - babies seemed happy with our unscheduled schedules though. I’ve always thought they couldn’t tell the time anyway!

@smalltruths If necessary there are always the big beach towel, but to be honest nobody around you will really care what you’re doing with your baby and your boobs.

[NotTooOld @TooOldForADHD]

@smalltruths Wear what you would have worn pre-baby. It will all work out!

#askadhd guess who didn’t screw the lid on milk last time I made a quick cup of tea (tea obviously now cold and only half-drunk).
Get milk out of fridge, shake milk - milk now all over the floor, kitchen cupboards and mostly ME #adhdlife

@GeraintWorks Just the one?

[NotTooOld @TooOldForADHD]

@ana_zuzel @GeraintWorks The way I budget is to hand over all responsibility to HusbandMan; the ‘solution’ to calendars/diaries is to have many, plus a notebook, plus a phone; the reality of course is that I never have the right one when I need it, and they’re never synched. It’s all an exhausting mess!

@kristinmary63 @MpadChi @Purplehoneyluv @GeraintWorks Massive positive difference at 57 for me!

@Yesitsadhd Robo-vacuum! Changed my life. Also makes you pick things up off the floor (and generally keep them off the floor)!

@ADHDJobs Crisps in sandwiches isn’t just an ADHD thing - it’s a gourmet thing. All sandwiches are better with crisps but cheese and crisps is THE BEST!

[NotTooOld @TooOldForADHD]

@AdeyAitchdee Main thing is you’ve done it. Give yourself credit for that. Well done.

[NotTooOld @TooOldForADHD]

So many things to do today so why can’t I actually get out of bed!! And yea I have taken my meds!

[NotTooOld @TooOldForADHD]

@ADHDdesigner @jessejanderson I once went to a three day conference with 12 pairs of shoes!!!

[NotTooOld @TooOldForADHD]

@myadhdblog Ahhh but is she going on spur of the moment cleaning/decluttering because she also has ADHD. I know I do this!
