Tired of my #ADHD ass misplacing keys, I bought my first #AirTag and a keychain for it yesterday. I love it.

#ADHD

Sitä välillä miettii onko minulla oikeasti ADHD, ja sitten en löydä asunnosta lääkkeitä jotka minulle on sen hoitoon annettu.

Että pitikin tehdä se virhe että otti apteekista mukaan "yhden ylimääräisen pakkauden ettei tule seuraavalla kerralla kiire", ja nyt sitä pakkausta ei mistään löydy.

Asunto on suhteellisen siisti ja järkeviä piilopaikkoja ei ole kovin monia. Mutta ottaen huomioon että löysin linkkuveitsen jääkaapin salaattilaatikosta viikkojen etsimisen jälkeen toissapäivänä, niin näitä sopivia hakupaikkoja on lukemattomia. Zombo.comia lainaten: ainoa rajoite olen minä itse.

MAX Meldpunt – Op latere leeftijd de diagnose autisme: ‘Er zijn zoveel kwartjes op hun plek gevallen’

maxmeldpunt.nl/gezondheid/op-l…

Pas op uw 55e, 61e of 82e ontdekken dat u autisme heeft? Naar schatting hebben 9 op de 10 mensen van 50 jaar en ouder met autisme nog geen diagnose gekregen. Voor sommigen geeft die diagnose na tientallen jaren een verklaring voor moeilijkheden in hun dagelijks leven. Wat kan een diagnose op latere leeftijd betekenen?

Participation, when it is forced or distressing is not a positive outcome. This is bad. By NeuroWild

Take your fucking kids to see a psychiatrist if you can afford it. Maybe even if you _can't_.

I'm almost 50 years old and in hindsight _every_ single part of my life has been _far_ harder than it had to be.

Please take your kids to see a psychiatrist.

So, I finally got an ADHD diagnosis about a month ago and today is day... Two on meds.

I'm already reading about other programming languages for the first time in ... Years... And spending meaningful time on code-reviews at work.

It's day TWO and I'm interested again. I still spent a lot of time screwing around today but... It didn't feel quite so much like a need or a compulsion but more like a _habit_ that can be untrained.

Already.

Day TWO with meds.

Tämä Bingo oli Skavlan Ohjelmassa edustamassa #ADHD oireilijoita ja melko vauhdikas tyyppi.

Ei mitenkään yllätä että keskittymiskyvytön jolla jatkuvasti vauhti päällä, löytyykin nyt tällaisesta uutisesta.

Surullista.
Mutta näin se ihmiskunta toimii. Kaikenlaisia pääkköjä kokeilemassa vaikka mitä, varsikin toki yleensä miespuolisia, uhkarohkeita, "pojatonpoikia", Ville Vallattomia joita ei säännöt kiinnosta.

Tutkimusmatkailijoita, vuorten valloittajia, riskaabelia elämää eläviä, joista osa kuolee lähdettyään tuntemattomille vesille, osa vammautuu loppu iäkseen, osalta elämässä putoaa pohja, päätyvät rikollisiksikin ja vankiloissa on yliedustettuina juurikin ADHD oireilevat.

Omakaan elämäni ei ole mennyt nenttien käsikirjoitusten mukaan, mutta XX kromosmeissa taitaa olla joku jarru?

As if I didn't have hundreds of reasons to avoid getting #Covid before, but losing the few #dopamine receptors that I have would be catastrophic to my #ADHD brain.

Some days I wonder if the #asd and #adhd diagnoses are real, and then I catch myself making my morning mocha, which I've done basically every day for the last 32 years, or making my afternoon tea using the same teabags I've been buying in quantities of 160 for the last 5 years, and I stop wondering.

#ADHD folks. Have you ever had one of those days where you're so hurried you forget if you've even taken your meds?

What's that logic gate that lets things in but nothing out? Because that's my brain right now.

I’m six days into my new Ritalin prescription (only 5mg 2x a day) and I see my doctor again in a week. I’ve never been medicated for #ADHD before (unless you count me taking the occasional Adderall several times years ago without a prescription).

I realize she’s just getting a sense of how I’m going to react to these meds and that this is a very low dose, but I’m sort of looking for a little advice about whether or not to email her later today… Or if I should just wait until my appointment…

At most it helps with overstimulation and mental chatter, but it’s inconsistent. Today, for example, it’s not doing anything. When it does kick in in that way, it is definitely a small but notable relief. It doesn’t feel like complete ‘fix.’ And it only lasts between 1-2 hours during the first pill and then for a shorter (and less noticeable) duration during the second. Beyond this, I’m not noticing much else.

At night, as pill 2 wears off, overstimulation feels like my unmedicated daytime stimulation (intense only with less energy to cope because it’s night) when I’m normally used to feeling less overstimulated at night.

I’m not sure if I should bother emailing since I’m essentially doing what she aimed for—feeling it out. And I’ve made tiny adjustments each day to try to make it better for myself. However, having felt a tiny glimpse of relief it IS a bit harder to deal with things which haven’t become any worse since starting Ritalin; but in contrast to the relief, maybe feels less tolerable.
