#ADHD #diagnosointi Ja olipahan sellainen psykiatri tuolla että meikäläisen AuDHD sappi alkoi kiehua ja mieleeni tulvi väkivaltaisia ajatuksia.. 🤬

Sen silmät, hyi! Kaikinpuolin pelottava tyyppi, vaikutti ihan psykopaatilta joka nauttii muiden kärsimyksistä, psykiatrian erikoislääkäri Johan Bengtsson.

Vaikutti myös jollakinlailla yksinkertaiselta.

Osa psykiatreistahan on psykopaatteja. Välillä niistä paljastuu murhaajia. Ammatti varmaan kiehtookin psykopaatteja. Siinä saa täyden vallan toisesta ihmisestä.

Ilman sitä hyypiötä ohjelmaa olisi ollut ihan mukava katsella kun siellä oli nepsy-vertaisia, jotka puhuivat ylivilkkaudesta, stressiherkkyydestä, keskittymisvaikeuksista, unotelusta, hajamielisyydestä..

I am so fucking tired of #ADHD. I took a battery from one camera to see if it was cross compatible with my other camera. It wasn't. So I immediately went to put it back with it's correct camera... and it's gone some how. I've torn apart my surroundings and have not found it. I hate this. I hate this so fucking much, I haven't gone anywhere. I didn't eject the battery and chuck it across the room at random. So how the actual fuck is it gone?!?!

My throat is stunted while my ears are sensitized. Cannot speak out while others are speaking out against me.

Do autists have a bottom-up thinking style? I don't think I do. I don't do top-down either, I do both, where appropriate, and 'middle-out' thinking too. I couldn't've been a successful software designer otherwise.

Just remember: You don't have to be exceptional to deserve a quiet room.

Stop trying to decode your partner's silence. Just ask: 'Do you need space or do you want a snack?' Specificity is kindness.

It’s not a mystery, it’s a menu.

You don't have to sit still to be present. Walking meditation, stretching, or pacing while breathing works just as well. Your body isn't the enemy of your focus, it's part of it.

That's exactly the kind of flexible routine BrainJoos was built to track, so you can see which movement actually calms your brain down.

'ADHD zorgt voor 50% meer darmproblemen'

"Mensen met ADHD hebben vaker maag- en darmklachten dan mensen zonder ADHD. Dat blijkt uit een grote analyse van ruim 1,9 miljoen deelnemers. Het verband geldt voor uiteenlopende problemen, waaronder verstopping, buikpijn en het prikkelbaredarmsyndroom. Waarom deze klachten vaker samengaan, is nog onduidelijk."

"Voor alle onderzochte maag- en darmklachten vonden de onderzoekers een verband met ADHD. Bij verstopping waren de odds bijna twee keer zo hoog. Voor het prikkelbaredarmsyndroom lagen ze 58% hoger. Bij ongewild ontlastingsverlies waren ze zelfs ruim vier keer zo hoog.

Ook andere klachten kwamen vaker voor. Bij dyspepsie, oftewel spijsverteringsklachten, waren de odds 52% hoger en bij buikpijn 88%. Voor diarree lagen ze ruim twee keer zo hoog."

Your brain isn't broken, it's just waiting for the right input. Cold water, sunlight, and movement are free medicine that actually works.

Stop trying to white-knuckle it. Give your neurons a little help and they will actually cooperate.

why do you need a label?" because there is comfort in knowing you are a normal zebra, not a strange horse. Because you cant find community with other zebras if you dont know you belong. And bc it is impossible for a zebra to be happy or healthy spending its life feelinf like a failed horse.

There is a surprising amount of reply guys and manspainers on Mastodon, actually 😓

PSA: You are not obligated to explain why you block someone on social media. Use that ootion6 if your gut says so. Yes, that applies to mastodon too. Take care ♥️

Your brain doesn't need a command to stop thinking. It needs a place to put the thoughts so it can let go. Write them down, then close the notebook.

That's the whole trick. Offload the data, then rest.

Executive dysfunction isn't laziness. It's your brain's 'start engine' being stuck in park while the rest of the world is in drive. You're not broken, just miswired for a linear world.

It takes more energy to start a task than to finish it, and that's not a character flaw.

Hey #ADHD #infosec how do y'all manage to return to productivity after big to-dos like the Citrix stuff over the weekend? My brain is stuck on that level of urgency, and i'm having trouble resetting to the day-to-day.

I keep forgetting to mention that my doctor diagnosed me with #EhlersDanlosSyndrome this week.

I've suspected for a while, and my massage therapist has been sure for a couple of years.

Like my #ADHD diagnosis two years ago, this explains SO much.

Including the frequent athletic injuries. And the nonstop back pain. The tennis elbow. The ankle sprains, inguinal ligament strains, neurocardiogenic syncope, costochondritis, premature ventricular contractions, memory problems....

Your brain isn't lazy. It's just waiting for the dopamine hit that never comes. Executive dysfunction is a wiring issue, not a character flaw. You don't need a whip; you need a scaffold. #ADHD #Neurodivergent #MentalHealth

It's the difference between not wanting to move and being unable to start the engine. One is preference; the other is a neurological hurdle that feels like climbing a wall made of wet sand.
