Feeling burnt out or depressed? It matters for your treatment. Learn the difference and take care of yourself, BrainJoos can help track patterns!

Burnout is often work-related stress, while depression is a mood disorder that affects daily life. Knowing the difference helps tailor your support system.

Oh man, late(r)-in-life #ADHD diagnoses hit hard.

Right now, I'm using a todo list (todo.txt), a time tracker, and like... three calendars. XD

Looking for quotes from writers with ADHD for an article about how ADHD affects writing (for https://medium.com/adhdreads).

Please send your answer to the question:
"How would you imagine your writing changed if you didn't have ADHD?"
Feel free to interpret it any way you like (technically/ creatively/...).

Also attach:
- Your name
- Your title/ what or where you write
- Link to your website/ LinkedIn/ whatever you prefer
- Your email

Thanks!

If you encounter someone who dismisses your #ADHD because they watched 'The Great ADHD Myth?', feel free to tell them to contact me via my site so I can explain, at length, why they're an idiot

Hell, send my their address and I'll do it face to face. I'm willing to go full 'Punisher' over this

ADHD can be biologically grounded, diagnostically constructed AND socially mediated.
I wasn’t diagnosed until adulthood; the signs went back to childhood, but I never fit the stereotype, and anxiety muddied the picture further.

I'm certain this is the reason why I didn't land a couple of jobs, back in the day. My ADHD takes over and I end up oversharing in job interviews.

I definitely have impulsive speech issues.

Kauppiaatkin hyötyvät impulsiivisesta shoppailusta.

Myös nykyisellään valtio hyötyy ALKO:n kautta jos viina virtaa itselääkinnällisesti.

Elinkeinoelämän keskusliittoa voi jurppia jos kansa voi hyvin eikä velkaannu ja voi huonosti.

Toki vain silloin kun siellä on ihan väärät ihmiset suhmuroimassa.

Kansantaloudellisesti parantaisi takuulla vientinäkymiä se että terveet ja itsenäiset, hyvinvoivat kantaisivat kortensa kekoon kukin kykyjensä mukaan, saaden yhteiskunnalta tarpeidensa mukaan.

Verotustakin pitäis rukata progressiiviseksi.

Nyt tekohengitetään taloutta missä rahaa siirtyy perintöinä ja perillisille, omistavalle luokalle tarjoillaan kaikki kultalautasella. He saavat yhteiskunnallta kotitalousvähennystenkin kautta etuoikeuksia helpottamaan pärjäämistään.

Perinnöttömät nuolevat näppejään ja heille huudellaan sitten "menkää töihin" vaikka 100 000 työpaikkaa on yhä toteutumatta.
Eikä yltiöyksityistetyssä systeemissä hoitamatta jätettyjä ADHD oireilijoita palkata. Ei ole kuntouttavaa työllistämistäkään..

Kyllähän tämä kaikki haisee jo todella pahalle..

Sipilän äärikonservatiivinen, patamusta porvarihallitus pelleili aktiivimallinsa kanssa purkamalla samaan aikaan hyvinvointivaltiota. Oli itse aikoinaan konkurssin partaalla, mutta saivat ylivallan ja hän sukuineen pelastui valtion rahoilla.

Minua itseäni pelottaa se ettei vasemmalla hahmoteta miten systemaattisesti äärioikeisto on toiminut.

On pelottavaa miten vasemmallakin tyrkytetään ideologiaa tuhota yhteiskunta, sen hyvinvointipalvelut ja tilalle lapsellista unelmaa jostain pienryhmistä. Samaa paskaa mutta eri paketissa. Tyrkyttäjillä samalaisia unelmia kuin Nalle Wahlroosilla aikoinaan änkyrätaistolaisena päästä kalifiksi kalifin paikalle. Nyt hän itkee verotuksesta vaikka on saanut kaiken muun muttei kuninkaankruunua.

A new ADHD drug targets three brain chemicals instead of two. Here’s what that means

I’ve just had a bit of an epiphany that has created a sense of mental relief… 🎉

for quite a while now, as a strategy to save myself from keeping many many browser windows open indefinitely (each with several-to- many tabs), I’ve taken to saving anything even vaguely interesting to a “TO SORT” bookmarks folder – with the intention (and implied requirement) of periodically going through them & adding them to the appropriate hierarchical bookmarks subfolder later

just now I renamed my “TO SORT” bookmarks folder to “🧠 BRAIN DUMP” to take the pressure off myself that I ever need to sort them, unless I really want to (and have the requisite spoons to do so) 😮‍💨
 
 
so long as I save them somewhere that doesn’t add the friction of making me decide where to save them (and that doesn’t randomly clutter up my previously-organised bookmarks folder structure), they’re available to find again when I’m looking for “that article I read about that thing” (yes, I sync & back up my bookmarks)

the important thing (for me) is to get them stashed away somewhere so that I can do something with them later if I actually need to. it’s kind of like a #GTD inbox but for everything I read & may (in theory) want to revisit some day
 
 
I also save a Bunch™ of stuff to Zotero for research or later use as I’m going, but just quickly saving them as brain dump bookmarks also means that I don’t have to decide right now which sub-library they need to go in, nor which tags I should add 😮‍💨

when I’m actively working on something that I need all my Zotero references for, I can search my bookmarks for related things and add them & any metadata as needed

Adding another #sketching / #drawing to #Fediverse

Saw a headline earlier, “How 10 minutes of drawing can reset your nervous system”

Based solely on my observation without any data to back up my support this headline, sketching/drawing works for me and probably why I keep doing my sketching/drawing on daily basis and as needed. Seems to help with my #anxiety and undiagnosed #ADHD
…and now nicotine withdrawal 😅

Hey #adhd people and other serial hobbyists: how long do you hold onto craft supplies you no longer do? I've got several shelves dedicated to a hobby I haven't touched in 5 years. I don't think I'll take it up again but who knows?
