ADHD & Me

reblog to give prev a fUCKING BREAK in 2026

they should invent a taking care of your own body thats easy

I’m big on supporting others cause life aint easy

I love how everyone treats adhd as a moral failing even people who otherwise have reasonable stances

"you people can't do anything" Yeah disabilities limit your ability to do things you dumb fuck

don’t take my defeatism too seriously I will always begin again and again no matter what

I might sound miserable most of the time but at my core I’m a very hopeful person

people say folks with adhd struggle with "delayed rewards" aka long term goals and as such we tend to focus more on short term rewards. what they don't talk about is that at when we Do accomplish long term goals we don't actually feel anything proportionate to the amount of work we did to achieve it. In my head I suffered for a while and then money spontaneously appeared in my bank account.

"Don't you feel satisfied that your windows are so clean now?" It sucked and it sucked and now I don't care. I just remember the sucking.

real

sometimes people experiencing psychosis and/or mania will come up to you on the street and talk in confusing or upsetting ways. your job is to either have a regular human-to-human conversation with that person or politely leave. your job is not to call 911. do not call 911. you might kill that person if you call 911.

It's so important to acknowledge the very real and sometimes truly horrible failings of the healthcare profession and the pharmaceutical industry while never ever ever letting them drive us into the arms of pseudoscientific bullshit. This is something I feel really strongly about.

“do you really wanna be on that medication for the rest of your life :(?” yes actually I would love that. I know what I’m like off it

no you don't understand. i *get* to be on this medication for the rest of my life :)
