@WhatTheADHD A therapist helped me to love myself. Therapists are very special people and so are you, little friend! And kudos to your mom for loving your dreams into existence! ❤️

ADHD Myth: “ADHD is caused by sugar”

Truth: ADHD is a neuro-developmental disorder related to the structure and function of the brain and its neurotransmitters.

Sugar is NOT causative. It CAN of course exacerbate challenges with consistency of attention. There’s a difference. -Dr. Jen

@adhdjesse When I was learning fractions, I just wasn’t understanding it with the small plastic fraction tools they used. Like any self-respecting 7 year old, I loved candy! She pulled out a bag of Tootsie rolls and used those to teach me. Mrs K was an angel! Teachers aren’t paid enough!

@ADHDForReal So, I would have to:
1. Find my timer
2. Decide what I’d do for an hour
3. Resist the urge to gouge my eyes out
4. Figure out how to remember to tell my husband about something I forgot to tell him 3 weeks ago…that I just remembered
I’ll stick with my 5 minute bursts, gracias!

This goes for adults with ADHD too!

@ADHDForReal You meant “What do I think about this spackling tool?’
I wouldn’t use it to eat. I’d use it to scrape dry paint from the floor though.

Experiencing post-traumatic stress is NOT a weakness.

At its core nervous system is doing what it was created to do—protect you.

Your PTSD is proof you are ALIVE.

You’ve survived the unthinkable, and that’s pretty fierce. -Dr. Jen

@ADHDForReal Anything wet.

@WhatTheADHD Waiting in line at the post office for eternity between two people trying to have a conversation and someone coughing nonstop. And my sock is sitting wrong on my foot. And I have to pee. Forever.

[Words @itswords_]

a love language.

@WhatTheADHD When I die, I want heaven to be a Staples!

[Focused Femmes ADHD Coaching @focusedfemmes]

@drjenwolkin I don’t know about anyone else, but I’ve never needed a reminder to feel scared.
To eat? Yes. To get dressed? Yes.
To feel anxious? Nope-I’m good on that one.

@ADDitudeMag When the idea of walking to a gas station in the morning because you ran out of gas on the way to work is more appealing than stopping for gas on the way home today.

@drjenwolkin Rest is not a reward!
