ADHD: So much to do, so little dopamine. 😣

[Ted DiNola 🔜 Game Invest East @esdin]

A reminder that commonly abused drugs intended for use as ADHD medication are both not as addictive to folks with ADHD and are also dosed at MUCH lower levels than they are used at for abuse:

Example: 5-20mg daily for Dextroamphetamine prescription vs 200mg or higher when abused

[Ted DiNola 🔜 Game Invest East @esdin]

Regulatory Bodies: “ADHD medication is highly addictive”

ADHD Folks: “Wait… did I take my pills?"

[Sally @msADDventures]

I love this sentiment and feel similar, though I am aware of the privileges I have had that allow me to manage living with ADHD and have a more positive attitude towards it.

Feel the fear and do it anyway omg omg omg

[Sally @msADDventures]

I finally asked about flying lessons (that took a lot of effort)!
I felt myself feeling fear and was just about to say "I'll have a think and get back to you" but instead I used my impulsive, dopamine-seeking ADHD superpowers and booked my first lesson then commited to 9 more 🤪

Making tasks better than bearable?! Amazing!! Awesome🧵

[Sam Dylan Finch @samdylanfinch]

ADHDers! If you struggle with task initiation, I'd like to introduce you to the acronym "RAN." It stands for:

R: Rewards
A: Accountability
N: Novelty

Let's break down what each of these mean, and how to apply them to the tasks you're avoiding. 🧵✨

Tell me where to meet you and when and I'll be 15 mins late

Day 1 back on Guam. It's 1am and there's a rooster crowing outside my window. Not a euphemism.

[sydni | what in the ADHD? @WhatTheADHD]

Impulsivity looks like:

• random large purchases
• interrupting others
• risky behavior
• binge eating

But impulsivity also looks like:

• frequently switching career paths
• oversharing personal life
• hypersexuality
• feeling energized/yelling as a result of anger

[Sally @msADDventures]

@WeAreBrisbane I imagine you do a lot of exploration with that background and your current role. Have you always felt like you “have a keen ear” for sound?

[Sally @msADDventures]

@WeAreBrisbane Neat! I feel like there are so many more audio/sound-related jobs out there that the regular person (me!) has no idea about it!!

[Sally @msADDventures]

@WeAreBrisbane @supertonic @SupertonicAudio Phew!!
