    When my ADHD meds are most effective.🤦‍♂️

    A simple black-and-white diagram illustrates the frustration of ADHD medication timing. At the top, large text says “when my ADHD Meds are most Effective.” Beneath it, a long bracket labeled “the best time to do chores and help around” represents the medication’s effective window. To the right, a much smaller bracket is labeled “the time my family asks me to do stuff around the house.” Below the diagram, the caption explains: “They have like 6-8 hours to ask me to help around the house, yet they always manage to ask when my meds have worn off.” The humor highlights a common ADHD struggle—by the time help is requested, the person’s medication has already worn off, leaving them unable to do tasks as easily as they could have earlier.

      I'm getting irritated from the constant propaganda against white rice. My mom kept telling me to not eat rice, now my sibling suggested that I stop eating them because apparently they saw studies that rice is harmful for autistic people. I kept asking for just ONE source but they wouldn't. Isn't white rice supposed to be gluten-free?? I'm calling bullshit.
      As someone with autism and ADHD, making white rice was the thing that help me make meals to begin with. And it's very versatile so I can use a variety of ingredients.
      Istg my family may be hooked on misinformation more often nowadays. I can't trust them anymore, let alone talk to them about my mental health.

        Sometimes I've thought that I have three basic motivational problems, that pop up pretty regularly:
        1. Getting started
        2. Continuing to work
        3. Stopping

        (I texted this to my partner, kind of as a joke. Then I realized it might be the beginning of a useful categorization.)

            ADHD meds be like...😬😩

            A simple cartoon scene shows a patient lying on a therapy couch, saying “I wish we could create a better society that wasn’t inherently soul-crushing.” The therapist, sitting in a chair with a notepad, responds: “Best I can do is pills that trick your brain into thinking you don’t hate it here.” When framed in the context of ADHD, it reflects the frustration many people feel when society isn’t structured to accommodate neurodivergent brains. Instead of addressing systemic issues like rigid productivity expectations, inaccessible environments, or constant overstimulation, treatment often defaults to medication as the “fix.” The comic captures that tension between wanting meaningful change and only being offered tools to cope with a world that still feels overwhelming.

                My ADHD meds don’t help with ADHD much, but they work better to battle depression than any anti-depressant I’ve ever taken. It’s incredible and I’m blessed by the weird reality of it.

                But ADHD meds have a very short half life, and if I miss a day (thanks, ), I’m immediately reminded of the razor’s edge I balance upon over the darkest depths of depression.

                    "De Hersenbank heeft een groot tekort aan hersenen van mensen met psychiatrische aandoeningen, en van mensen zonder hersenziekte"

                    "De Hersenbank is in al die jaren uitgegroeid tot een gerenommeerd instituut. Wetenschappers van over de hele wereld vragen er weefsel aan."

                    "Het is de enige manier om cellen en moleculen in intacte menselijke hersenen te bestuderen, met hersenscans kunnen we niet zo gedetailleerd kijken"

                    "Gloednieuw is het onderzoek naar chronische vermoeidheid, ME/CVS. […] De eerste resultaten tonen grote verschillen met gezonde donoren"

                    "Wie zijn hersenen of ruggenmerg wil doneren na overlijden kan niet zomaar een vinkje zetten in het landelijke Donorregister – dat is alleen bedoeld voor het doneren van organen voor transplantatie, of voor onderzoek daarnaar. Om hersendonor te worden moet iemand zich persoonlijk registreren bij de Hersenbank, en een tweede persoon moet mede-ondertekenen."

                            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.

                                            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.

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