Wait what did I come into this thread for again? Oh yeah, ADHD!

Wait what did I come into this thread for again? Oh yeah, ADHD!

Hey all! I decided to kick start a sweet little space for us to gather and talk ADHD!!

You can read the Topic Tuesday discussion (at which I was a guest) here.

Some of my go to resources:

ADDitude - Online Magazine/resource for all things ADHD

Three Pillars - My preference for explaining the experience of ADHD without relying on the DSM-V (scroll to bottom and work your way up the list)

How to ADHD - A Youtube channel with tips, tricks, strategies, how to guides, life hacks, you name it

Russel Barkley - a world renowned psychiatrist who has been at the forefront of research into ADHD, its neurochemical markers, and its impacts on daily experience, particularly in regards to executive dysfunction. The link is to an hour-long video aimed at parents of kids with ADHD. He also has one for adults with ADHD (with actionable tips!).

This is a space to talk about your experiences, struggles, strategies, and just an all-round safe spot to be a big pile of chaotic energy right here!!

Re: Wait what did I come into this thread for again? Oh yeah, ADHD!

Omg @ArraDreaming was it you who mentioned the whole 'Don't take your shoes off when you get home if you want to continue being productive'? Cos last night after work I nipped to the shops, and when I got home I remembered it, and kept my shoesies on... holy guacamole batman I got SO MUCH DONE. I cleaned the litter trays, brought in my washing, took out the bins, and pottered around doing little project bits n bobs. Hottest ADHD tip ever 😂

@Glisten @greenspace @MessyGirl @Shaz51 tagging just in case you wanna use this too! 😉😌😝

hi @Jynx some of these memes are so relatable, I've saved them for when someone asks how I'm doing -- these memes will explain better than any words! 😆

I haven't been on the forums for ages (thus my responding just now to the memes you posted in early July) because my beloved cats have been unwell 🥺😿

Content Warning: pet loss

one of my cats is now going well, one is still not well, and one is no longer with us 😭

memes are good, word puzzles are good, talking with a grief support person through NALAG is good, gardening is great, specially now it's spring...

Re: Wait what did I come into this thread for again? Oh yeah, ADHD!

hey @Shaz51, I'm going okay, thanks. the last few months have been a rollercoaster as my beloved cats and I have all been dealing with physical health problems, but I've also connected with a local group of film nerds and we're meeting once a month to talk about a film or two each time (kinda like a book club), and I'm really appreciating getting back into the online ADHD community -- here on Sane forums, and with an ADHD group on MeetUp.

how are you doing?

Aww @greenspace I am so sorry to hear of your loss! Our fur babies are so precious to us, losing one is like losing a family member. Sending you soooo many hugs! 💜🫂
