Ever feel like your brain is jumping hurdles while your body walks in circles? I wrote a stream of consciousness poem about that #ADHD chaos on my Substack called "It'll Only Take 5 Minutes": afterchaos.substack.com/p/itll-only-ta… #executivedysfunction #neurodivergence #impulsebuying

ADHDers! You ever get post task clarity, realising that what you’ve been procrastinating on didn’t even take you that long

ADHD often comes bundled with other health problems. Our thoughts are racing all the time, even at night. That lack of sleep causes a bunch of other problems. It’s the domino effect.

Forgot to bring my lunch to work today...but did find a bunch of cereal bars in my desk I forgot about. Is this what they call balance for #adhd minds?

Any other fellow #adhd heads catch themselves writing too fast and writing letters in the wrong order…but correctly? Just caught myself writing “it’s” as follows: “ts” first “I” second “Dot & apostrophe” third I felt a mixture of being perplexed and impressed lol #chill

What’s the best thing you’ve ever lost and FOUND? Lost my headphones yesterday, turned my whole life upside down and still couldn’t find them, then this morning they fell out of the bag I checked 14 times #lostandfound #adhd

ADHDers know the struggle with routines: grand plans, a quick fade, then heavy shame. But don't punish yourself! Getting things done doesn't require perfection, just progress #ADHD #ProgressNotPerfection

Thursday! Time to write a list of things I actually WANT to do nearly being weekend so I don’t stare at a wall or worse scroll all weekend #executivedysfunction hits hard these days Any grand plans anyone?

Best #ADHD rabbit hole you’ve been down this week? I was on 80s/90s kids’ toys and it was pretty wild. Screwball Scramble and the Tomy Big Loader took me right back 🥲 #90skids #procrastination

The hardest part about #adhd isn’t just the chaos, it’s the accompanying shame that comes along with the symptoms or self medication. Practice taking kindly to yourself…I’ve found it even helps reduce symptoms as well as shame #SelfImprovement #Neurodiversity #recovery

Sensory issues is why I can't leave the house without a shower. I FEEL dirty and can't get it out of my head all day before I shower. Therefore having to do it before work is when I run into time issues... The drying part is more the time it takes.

Every forgotten appointment or lost key can feel like a verdict—but it’s really a mismatch between your brain and today’s world. After Chaos unpacks the ADHD shame spiral and how to outgrow it: adhdhelp.app/en/blog/the-ad…

Shame can be one of the worst things about #ADHD, but you don’t deserve it. Check out my article for @dopamineplsme on how to manage it adhdhelp.app/en/blog/the-ad…

Any other forgetful folk use Siri to find their phone 86 times a day? Best feature of an iPhone for me. I’ve asked her where my cards and things are in the past though forgetting she can’t help with those #ADHD #Neurodivergent

I often think living with #adhd in the modern world is akin to being given a lifetime free for all ticket to a dopamine theme park, great for a day but for life?Check out my article with the great project from DeeDee - ADHD Helper on how to navigate the park at adhdhelp.app/en/blog/welcom…

Spent a lot of time offline lately due to some injuries & general life. A bit of #selfdestruction followed by #selfcare, but no selfshame And back on my feet. #ADHD #SelfCareSeptember

Walked into a store today and picked up 2 bottles of shower gel and 2 bottles of shampoo. Got home and went for a shower and pulled 4 bottles of shampoo out the bag #scatterbrain #adhd

“Waiting is like doing nothing with a purpose” Damn that could solve a lot of problems

Time for an MVR, writing down 2 things I've done today and counting birds that fly past for 2 minutes wondering where they're going. After that, onto the rest of the day :)
