@lmgenealogy I feel the same about my computer calendar. I would almost *never* remember to pay bills or take care of any other deadlines if I didn’t use my calendar with repeating reminders. It helps me too to have something right in front of me, something that is very visual that lays things out for me in the right way. I love paper planners, but I’ve never been able to stay consistent with those. As much as I wish I could.

I recently started using the hourly view on my digital calendar and that’s been helpful in getting me to ‘visualize’ chunks of time in a way that helps my brain realize things like the fact that I have 5 completely open hours (or whatever) instead of what *feels* like a much shorter time. This feeling like I only have a few minutes until some scheduled thing or dinner time, etc, is a big part of what keeps me from getting more done.

#ADHD

#askfedi are there podcast recommendations for the intersection of #ADHD and #SoftwareEngineering ? Or do I have to do that one myself? /hj

For some reason, I lost all my open tabs in Firefox two days ago.

I have since been able to remember most of those that I had pinned, but still: the nagging feeling that I am missing something, and that it might have been important.

"I need to back up my tabs more often, or take screenshots or something" methinks, knowing full well that I won't do it.

I have autism and (probably) ADHD
So I made a detailed system of lists to assign chores for the day which worked great until I overestimated my abilities assigned myself too much work and now I don't even look at the list because every day I dont complete it is a reminder of my limitations

#Autism #ADHD #Neurodivergent

I'm surprised even on Mastodon almost all searchable discussions of ADHD meds are negative posts, addiction-related, comparisons to meth, etc.

It's a shame people in general seem reluctant to talk about medications that help them. Anyways, I was only searching hashtags because I feel like it's a scam adderall gets prescribed more commonly than dexedrine and wanted to see if anyone else agreed 😂

#ADHDmeds #ADHD #Adderall #ADHDmedication #Dexedrine

ADHD and depression are such a shitty combination for me. I end up dwelling on sad things and stressful things because I can't focus on anything else. Then that makes my mood even worse. And I can't have my ADHD medication upped any more, because it makes my anxiety too bad. Frustrating... #ADHD #Depression

How do my fellow ADHD/chronically ill streamers handle the pre-stream wall of awful? Once I'm live, I'm fine, but the lead-up is like fighting a level 99 boss while wading through wet cement. 🫠

Hope you're well today. Today is my birthday and I'm in need of a lil help these days. Grateful for any amount at all but trying to gather up at least $20 or $30 if I can. 🙏🥺

Hi, I'm a painfully neurodivergent and chronically underemployed pan nb living in the buckle of the bible belt. I'm about to start a new job, but could still use a few bucks to help hold over until my first paycheck.

I'll be forever thankful if you are willing to support me or buy some of my music. Pics are of my dog, Biscuit and her handiwork; foot for scale.

Thank you for hearing me out.

I know there's already more than enough to be mad about, but let's not forget how here in the USA the main way we deal with #ADHD is by putting people in prison. Something like 1/4 of inmates are ADHDers. When people say society can't afford to accommodate neurodiversity, remember there is also a cost for not accommodating it.

The #ADHD ick of reorganizing your furniture in your room every month, otherwise you just can't function.

Just did some planning for the week. Given my history I don’t have a lot of hope that I’ll stick to it, but oh man if I could just find a way to plan and stick……

Half of me wants to plan, half of me wants to wing it on the daily (you can guess which half wants what), but winging it isn’t producing good results and I can see that.

I’m curious if any #AuDHD or #ADHD folx have any planning tips that work really well for them? How do you approach it? Can you stay consistent with any approach? It’s a highly personal kind of thing (at least for me anyway), but I’m just looking to sprout new thoughts and ideas around this Forever Problem.

Interessante Idee!

#AskFedi What are somethings that you have found helpful when studying with #ADHD?

Three times over 15 minutes this afternoon, I went into the kitchen to get a glass for my drink. Only on the fourth time did I actually come back with one.

Off to get medicated for ADHD for the first time! Wish me luck. #ADHD

#adhd is when you go to the car to leave something there not to forget it. Then your wife says "if you're going there put this in the storage". Then you do an optimal rerouting, do the additional task, reach the car, pick 2 things you didn't pick up last time, happily returning with the sense of completion, only to discover that the original reason to go to the car is still lying on the countertop...
Thanks God walking is healthy...

Does anyone have tips on how to sleep better with Elvanse (Vyvanse, Lisdexamfetamine)?

I really have problems falling asleep with this stuff.

#ADHD #ADHS #Elvanse #Lisdexamfetamine #Sleep #Vyvanse

Puh, ich komme gerade vom adhs Diagnostik Termin meiner Tochter und ich bin einfach nur fassungslos. "Nichts, was sich nicht mit Erziehung lösen lassen könnte" und wenn beide Eltern adhs haben seien wir ohnehin "total voreingenommen". Überhaupt sei adhs extrem überdiagnostiziert, weil das auf Insta und Co so viel Thema wäre. Die Kinder von heute konsumieren alle zu viel Medien und eine Diagnose wolle man doch nur, um die Verantwortung abgeben zu können. Wow.

#adhs #adhd

I am sick to death of the #media, this morning #BBCBreakfast, platforming people,who have no expertise in #health claiming it’s too easy to obtain benefits for conditions such as #ADHD

Richard Walker, Baron Walker of Broxton, Chairman of Iceland… yes, I’m sure in your spare time you’ve obtained qualifications that mean you’re an expert in the lived experience of the #neurodivergent

Opinions, emotions, political and economic ideologies… these are NOT facts.

I wouldn’t care, but do you think that people in receipt of such benefits are living a life of luxury? Have you any idea of the difficulties encountered negotiating crumbling services? Do you live life on a tight budget with no room for manuevre, dreading unexpected expenses?

It’s lazy thinking to blame the vulnerable for conditions they didn’t choose. What? Do you think these people should be #euthanised ? Are they an inconvenient burden?

So you see, life with #ADHD either means waiting for a meeting that you were ready for hours ago, afraid of doing anything useful with the spare time in case the deadline slips your mind altogether.. or missing a meeting because it did slip your mind altogether

So here I am, waiting for my videocall, taking selfies aimlessly.. and taking the huge risk of posting about it here

Okay.. I haven't forgotten.. the meeting is in 20 minutes. Laters! Love ya 💕 😘

Tänään otin Concerta 54mg ensimmäistä kertaa sitte vuoden 2023.

Ihan vähän huolestuttaa etukäteen, kuinka "kivalta" se tuntuu kun vaikutus lakkaa, ku vanha annostus oli 54+36 ja sillä pärjäs ihan hyvin aamusta iltaan. 😅

Otin lääkkeen klo 7 reikäleipä, ja nyt sitte seuraillaan kuinka kauan vaikutus kestää. 😂

Ennen se oli 8 tuntia.

Nälkä olis, mutta kun ei kolmeen vuoteen oo tehny mieli säännöllisesti aamupalaa, niin eihän mulla mitään aamupalatarvikkeita ollu... 🫩
