AuDHD-diagnosed, software-adjacent white-collar wagie. Being a degen coomer is a whole ideology for me. Free speech absolutist before Elon made it a buzzword.

Millennials watched their parents lose everything in 2008. Then got handed $100K in student debt. Then got called entitled for wanting a living wage. Then survived a pandemic in our prime years. Then got priced out of every neighborhood we grew up in. And y’all really wonder why we’re not okay? We’ve been in survival mode for 20 years straight and nobody even noticed.

Someone said the most heartbreaking part of late ADHD diagnosis is realizing you spent years hating yourself for something that had a name the whole time.

how it feels to say “jajajaja” in hispanic chats, “XDDDD” in polish chats, “KKKKKK” in portuguese chats, and “LMAOOO” in english-speaking chats

[🤠 @heavensbvnny]

what people don’t understand about how adhd is disabling is that it’s not just getting temporarily distracted from, like, school work or hobbies. it’s getting distracted/being unable to motivate yourself to go to the doctor, eat regularly, do hygiene tasks, etc. it’s not knowing when or how long it will take you to do something, ANYTHING, and in many cases that thing is taking a shower or keeping your house from turning into a biohazard. it’s about being fundamentally incapable of controlling your attention and focus on anything, even and especially things you need to do to survive.

The neurodivergent ick when you realize mid-convo that correcting them is pointless because they'd need self-awareness and emotional intelligence to even process that they're wrong.

guy with adhd saying 'id be so functional if i was medicated' and then they get meds and slowly realize that they are just genuinely a bit stupid

Them: what do you do for fun?

My ADHD: I hyperfixate on a hobby for 2 weeks, spend $400 on supplies, produce one (1) item, get bored, marinate in shame about the money I spent, then do it again and again until I die

except its beyond true and it's neurochemistry 101. "functional" autism (as we know it) is a glutamate surplus, so anything that reuptakes GABA works wonders to make the sharp, "electric" feeling in the brain out of overdrive and softens it

alcohol boosts GABA and pulls the excitation back down to where neurotypical people already sit. she's right, the comments are dumb as fuck, and they aren't ready for the other weird shit about to heal our fried ass brains

BDNF
HPA Axis
5HT2A
CB1/CB2

how you boost and rebuild these parts of your brain is Your Resarch/YMMV

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you "cured" your ADHD by sleeping 8 hours a night, exercising daily, and cutting sugar out of your diet, then you did not have ADHD to begin with.

[Fav ⛧ @Favwontmiss]

Shoutout to anyone who has ever spent time between "Do I have autism?" and "Do I have ADHD?" while carrying the burden of "Is it even a big enough deal for me to seek a diagnosis and/or treatment if I've already made it this far?" May you find peace.
