Born in the sunshine but call London home. Wannabe dog mom and decent person. ADHD-C dx (2020). I use my anon Twitter as my therapist, no regrets 😄❤️ she/her

Life for me began 9 months ago with the ADHD meds. While it’s not a PHD, I’ve excelled at work, lost weight, climbed a mountain, wild camped and have savings. I’ve achieved more in the last 9 months than I have in the previous 39 years ❤️ #grateful
RIP your majesty. Sending best wishes to all who loved you. And ease to all those for whom this brings grief either directly, or indirectly through memories.
In this heat, pretend you're on holiday abroad by drinking beer at 8am and then going to Asda wearing a bikini and flip flops to buy 4 giant bags of crisps and a bottle of water.
@alexaaisamess @AskADHD Be kind to yourself. You’re not stupid or a failure, despite what life is telling you. I promise you it does get better ❤️ You’ll always be different, own it.
@surbitonium @AskADHD For me, easy easy does it in the beginning until you work out your level. I’ve been on these meds for 2+ years now and drink often (though very rarely to excess nowadays as hangovers are brutal)
It’s took me 30 minutes to cancel my @TheEconomist subscription! Despite saying over and over again please cancel my subscription, the chat bot person took average 2-4 minutes to respond to my text, ignored my requests and kept offering me new deals. Awful customer experience
Patel: I didn't know I was bullying.
Johnson: I didn't know I was at a party.
Sunak: I didn't know I was resident in the UK.
We're allowing them to treat us like mugs folks.
the way my adhd works is in the morning I have 45 minutes I call “the zone of possibility” and if I don’t frenetically accomplish all the day’s tasks within those 45 minutes sadly that’s a wrap on the whole day
In just over a week,for the 1st time in my adult life, I will be moving in with a dirty smelly boy 😭
I love him but how the hell do I cohabit with someone after being on my own for so long 😫 I like my space! My quiet time! My things thrown all over the place!
#AskADHD Tips? 🙈
@ruffletheanimal @AskADHD Thank you! This is the dream and one we’ve discussed. Atm our budget won’t allow for this but we’re hoping the next place, in 12 months time, will have the extra rooms 🤞🏽
@youneedcoolin Thank you! I’ll be WFH in our small bedroom / box space. We’ve agreed that once I finish for the day, he’ll use the room for guitar/ quiet time and I’ll use that time for myself. 🤞🏽 it works. Our new home is tiny but I’m hopeful we can carve out alone/space ❤️
@alanjack Thank you. This is sound advice and it’s super appreciated! We’ve been together (very on/off) for a number of years and it feels right (Now). I’m far more independent than he is so it’s going to take a lot of adjusting on both our parts. Thank you again ❤️
