What’s the “easy” task that gives you SO much trouble to get done that it’s ridiculous? I’ll start: renewing prescriptions, OMG. Please tell me your magic for doing this instead of putting if off so long it’s a real problem #ADHD #adhdlife #makesmecrazy

It’s totally ok. But yes, you may regret it. Put them in a shoebox on a shelf in the closet and pretend you threw them away. Pick a date on your calendar 3 months from now. When that day rolls around, check with yourself: Are you glad you “threw them away” or are you glad they’re still there?

If you’re going to add a fake tattoo to a photo of Abrego Garcia’s hand, maybe think it through and don’t use a computer font.

Thank goodness for ADHD meds because on days I don't have them (like today), my head is a cafeteria with some of the most annoying kids I've ever met.

The fact that each of the four brilliant “Adolescence” episodes was shot in one take - which is integral to the entire point of the show - is completely lost when @netflix.com breaks in with ads.

This week I left The Washington Post after 40 years, 6 months and 6 days. Today I have a piece in the New Yorker explaining my heart-breaking decision, and including the column that was spiked. I wish I never had to write it. www.newyorker.com/news/essay/w...

Why I Left the Washington Post

Owner Jeff Bezos wants to transform the Opinions section of the paper, where I worked for forty years. After the publisher killed my column disagreeing with that move—it appears here in full—I decided...

As if it’s not enough that democracy is under siege, we have a war with Canada now, and Elon Musk wants to eliminate Social Security, @southwestair.bsky.social is now going to charge bag fees. Herb Kelleher would not be happy.

Kansas, you rock! Sen Jerry Moran hasn’t had a town hall, so his constituents had an empty chair one But, they live all over the state, so they did it on zoom with someone signing in as Jerry Moran. Bravo! So if you’re barrier was that it has to be in person, no, it doesn’t

Excellent planning on my part: Buying six rolls of tape before gift-wrapping season began Not-so-excellent planning: I can’t find them Life with #adhd

Christmas should be like Leap Year, once every four years. Or the Olympics, so we’d really truly be excited to see it coming. There could even be medals. I would earn the gold in time blindness for sure.

Steps to wrapping presents, #adhd-style: 1. Find a big flat clear space. 2. Give up.

Love following accounts run by fellow ADHD gremlins. Neurotypical acc: “Thanks for the follow! I mostly post about this one game and my pet.” ADHD acc: “WHAT UP NERDS! TIME TO DETERMINE THIS WEEK’S HYPER-FIXATION!” -shuts eyes and chucks dart at wall- “WOW! LOOKS LIKE WE RESTORE OLD CONSOLES NOW!”

It’s begun: the litany of “After Christmas, I’m going to…” and “In the new year, I’ll be able to…” because if nothing else, ADHD is a mixture of erratic focus and yet unexplainable optimism

How smart of you guys. We have done that in a few ways over the years but as the family grows through weddings and babies, it seems to be huge again

Christmas with #adhd: completely stressed believing there’s not enough time to do everything, but absolutely believes it’s doable to start an entire new gift project from scratch

Ah, the #adhd magic of actual deadline work, when the brain actually focuses and meets or exceeds your needs. I wonder what it would be like if it worked like that all the time? Is that what it’s like to be neurotypical? Where you just decide to do something and then do it? I can’t even imagine.

Diane Porter @dianeporter.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

I won the #adhd lottery today: I have hours of work on a project due tomorrow, and thought I had a 2 pm appt, which would not only take 2 hrs but also send me into wait mode. But the calendar says no appt! Win! (Of course I could have one that I forgot to enter. A problem for another day)

-4 a.m.: Wide awake. I should go ahead and get up, I could get so much done! -4:30: No. Coffee first. -5:00: Honestly, how do people know where to begin? -5:30: It’s so dark out. -6:00: Sleepy, going back to bed. -8:00: Awake. Bleary. Day feels completely lost. Let me introduce the #adhd brain

This makes so much sense. My issue is all-or-nothingness; I can exercise (happily) for six months, then go on a trip or get sick - anything that gets me off routine - and not get back to the good routine for another six months. Like the spell has been broken.

I think it takes quite a while for a friendship to move into the loyal/loving category. Years, sometimes. Shared interests, experiences (good and bad), laughs, conversations and time all contribute. And ADHD at least can make patience in short supply. Don’t sell yourself short. You’re worthy.

With ADHD, the frontal lobes are under-activated so thresholds for activation from outside stimulation remain high. Exercise stimulates the brain, lowering the sensory thresholds, making it easier to experience interest & pleasure. But habituation (eg, boredom) occurs & u must re-stimulate the brain
