A question about meditation with an ADHD mind. I've meditated, on and off, for several years now. For years I tried to sit staring at the wall, following Zen Buddhist tradition. While I don't have a problem with the actual sitting, the restless monkey of a mind has been a struggle. I've finally understood it's easier for me to concentrate on the moment when there's a constant change in visual input. The best so far is looking at ground while walking.

The part I'm struggling the most with is noticing the current thought and letting it go. For me, it's a sudden shift in perception: I don't usually notice the current thought but instead remember now, which then pushes the previous thought away like a flick of a switch. I might even forget the previous though. Any thoughts or tips regarding this?

          Anyone still wanting a reason to not do shitty things?

          😂

          Anyway I learned yesterday that people with ADHD and/or autism often have really really strong census of Justice and fairness. so now I know why I react so strongly when people do things that are shitty. don't do shitty things guys! You'll stress out the ADHD and autistic folks!

              , crochet edition, in which I have a socially acceptable fidget toy...

              @mbroome and I are taking a weeklong vertical cave rescue class, and it has been a looooong time since I tried to cram this much information into my head this fast. Fortunately one of the course leaders is a teacher as her day job and understands ADHD, so she's totally okay with me crocheting my way through the classroom instruction.

              We're three days in, and I've already finished the hat for my BIL and gotten a good start on the [crochet lace shrug](ilikecrochet.com/magazine/croc) I'm making with the nice cashmere yarn I got on super sale!

              This shrug pattern is *perfect* for classroom management - simple stitch, no finicky counting, just cluster into the chain-2 space over and over until I run out of yarn... 🥰 It's so much easier to concentrate on the lecture material when my hands are occupied! I even managed a halfway-decent Russian splice, from memory, when I ran into a break in the yarn.

The bottom panel shows the same person with wide eyes and raised eyebrows, accompanied by the text, "Realizing there is another very simple explanation".

                      Hey y’all, does anyone know any tips for treating ticks? I get involuntary eye and head movements when I’m sitting still or driving and it’s starting to become a pain in my ass. They started becoming a lot more noticeable when I turned 21/22. Before it was mostly restless hands or foot tapping.

                      I haven’t had access to my meds cause fully out of stock in my country.
                      They do ease up when I am exercising, skating, or doing something with my hands and mind.

                        A digital image featuring black text at the top over a painting. The text reads, "I woke up this morning determined to do the laundry, clean the house and exercise. But that was 4 hours ago when I was young and full of dreams". The painting depicts a person with light-colored hair lying in a bed propped up by blue pillows, wearing a yellow long-sleeved shirt. The person holds a dark, rectangular object and is covered by white bedding and a red and brown striped blanket. In the lower-left corner, a small table holds a vase of flowers and small bottles.
