Dear fellow humans since a.gup.pe is dead, I made a group in fedigroup.social for those used to "actuallyadhd" group.

It is @actuallyadhd and to avoid spammers, I made it require approval before accepting followers.

    And after that adventure, we ended up going back to central Schaffhausen before deciding in an -fuelled bit of train organisational confusion to go to Feldkirch via a different route than our originally planned Bregen tonight. A few well-timed if somewhat confusing train detours later, and now on a train from Zürich to Feldkirch via Buchs.

    And why are we doing that? Well, today we started with a bit of classic
    confusion with a DB station in Switzerland, and we wanted to end the day with a similar bit of weirdness.

    We are taking an ÖBB (Austrian) train on ÖBB-managed rails through Liechtenstein in order to get from Switzerland to Austria.

    So an updated map of my trip so far can be found here: trainlog.me/public/trip/469179

          A todolist is the most important tool, before even medication, for many ADHDers. Certainly for me. But I know some AD(H)Ders who can't use a todolist at all, so it's not a given.

          So I guess that obnoxious "senior software engineer answer" applies here too? "It depends"

            Here's a thing I don't really know how to explain to people who aren't Autistic/ADHD/Both! All the phone beeps and boops in the world to remind me of stuff don't mean a fucking thing if I'm hyper-focused and swipe it away with a "fuck off, I'm busy". Many reminders take that as acknowledged, and won't remind again. Enabling re-reminding too much just sets off PDA and causes disregulation.

              Maybe folks can help me here. A friend with extreme untreated ADHD has offered to do me a pretty big favor that will save me thousands of dollars. It's time sensitive & he has to do things to make it happen. I have sent him a few reminders - with one he thanked me but yesterday he responded pretty curtly and said he'd send me some info (which he did not). I don't want to ride his ass but also feel like he is apt to not complete the job. Any suggestions for how often I should contact him?

Tjah. Kan jeg se hende frem for at skrive? Helst ikke. Kan vi mødes i midtbyen? Tjoh, men hun er flyttet og jeg har endnu ikke set det nye. Det ligger bare bøvlet med kollektiv transport, og skriveværksted ligger bøvlet med bil. Jeg er fanget i midten med spiraltanker og høj puls. Det er ikke et rart sted.

                    Not that anyone here is thinking could find the truth any easier than he could find his own ass with two hands and a roadmap, but the question of whether causes, breathes on, or is any way vaguely looking in the direction of was already already asked and answered in Sweden.

                    A cohort study was conducted with sibling control analysis including a population-based sample of 2,480,797 children born in 1995 to 2019 in Sweden, with follow-up through December 31, 2021.

                    Spoiler alert, Acetaminophen use during pregnancy was not associated with children’s risk of , , or intellectual disability in sibling control analysis.

                    This all suggests that associations observed in other models may have been attributable to familial confounding.

                        A group of wide-eyed owls is used to illustrate the ADHD experience when someone says, “I need to talk to you about something.” Each owl represents a different overwhelming reaction that ADHD brains often trigger in that moment: one labeled “Flood of emotions,” another “Fear of confrontation,” another “My need to people please,” another “Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria,” and one more as “My poor memory trying to recall what I did.” Together, the image captures how a seemingly harmless statement can instantly spiral into anxiety, self-doubt, and panic for someone with ADHD — juggling emotional intensity, fear of disappointing others, and the stress of not remembering if they actually did something wrong.

                            Random thoughts on a Saturday morning.

                            I was reading the Wikipedia article on antypical antipsychotic medications. I take one - lurasidone - for my bipolar disorder. At the end of the article it mentions that some doctors don't use the term antipsychotics when describing the drugs to their patients, because they are commonly used to treat things other than psychosis, and there is stigma attached to the term. And I thought to myself that I just don't feel any stigma around any mental health disorders. I mean consider:

                            I am bipolar, have social anxiety, grew up with major depression, am probably autistic, and have enough trauma in my past that I need therapy for it and should probably also be diagnosed with CPTSD. On top of that my best friend has schizoaffective disorder, meaning she has schizophrenia on top of bipolar disorder, and she has dissociative identity disorder too (what used to be called multiple personality disorder). And as far as I'm aware all but one person that I know in real life has at least one diagnosis, with ADHD and borderline personality disorder being the most common, as well as tons of autism.

                            Stigma? Nope! Mental disorders for me are just a normal, every day aspect of life.

                            I wish everyone else would realize that different mental health states (and I really wish they were called "states" rather than "disorders") are common and many people live their lives with these conditions and have perfectly routine and ordinary lives in most respects. We aren't freaks that need to be stigmatized. We are just people, like everyone else.

                              A simple two-panel meme perfectly captures the ADHD struggle with memory. On the left is Sanrio’s pink character My Melody, looking sad with teary eyes. Over her is the caption “please remember things.” On the right is a realistic drawing of a human brain with a blunt, one-word reply: “No.” In the context of ADHD, this reflects the daily frustration of executive dysfunction and memory issues — wanting desperately to keep track of tasks, appointments, or even small details, only to have the brain flatly refuse to cooperate. It’s a humorous but relatable exaggeration of how ADHD brains can forget even the most important or obvious things despite the best intentions.
