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!!

Friday is 1 and a half and Lilo is 8 months old. Still babies and trainings been a bit tricky due to my mental health but they got enough room to run like mad.

@Toast89 Crazy I’m from Newy.

Goats - awesome 🙌🏼

That other stuff you asked about. I’ll get @tyme because I don’t speak that language.

@Jynx might know? @Toast89 Asked:

”Do we have a discord server? Chat room etc?

Loving the zoom meet ups so far.”

@Glisten newy is pretty nice, vaguely remember going there during my car living days(years). I got a bit of trauma from beaches so I avoid water when I can, another reason why I'm living as far from the coast as I can!

No we don’t have discord probably because of the anonymity difficulties. The recovery club runs alongside the forums. There are slightly different rules like we can see each other. However a couple of us ID’d each other because of things we said were happening for us. Luckily there were only two of us at that recovery club zoom. I am excited to see a picture of your new goats!!!

@Oaktree the image files are too big or I'd send pictures of the chickens (and rooster) too. They aren't really black, more like an oil slick in the sun.

That’s why I didn’t want to do the recovery club thing because I hate the video calls and talking on that stuff

@Oaktree I think the lack of moderation would be another concern for Discord or anything like that. To be fair, if there was a permanent chat here, I'd probably never get anything done in the real world! 😁

Are there even spaces left for recovery club? When I joined up, i thought there were only a certain amount of places. There does always seem to be new people though so I guess there's still places. I always wear my Spiderman costume to the recovery club meets, just so one one recognises me!

Oh crap! I just gave myself away 😎🤣

Ignore that last bit.

@ArraDreaming

You can black out your camera, mute the mic and just use the chat box. There's never any pressure to 'perform' or show your face.
