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!!

@Jynx

Had to stop for cattle on the road

And for a big lizard crossing the road

We had morning tea at a beach

And lunch in a big town

Cheaper lawn mowers, manure and potentially milk in the future. 😛 "Feed the soil, feed the plants" as (one of) my idols Geoff Lawton says.

Slowly building a permaculture food forest.

@Jynx

Definitely, nature knows better than we do IMHO. It's all about reading the land, what's growing (or not growing) will tell you what's going on. Eg. Taprooting plants = compaction and hair net roots =erosion. All about observing what's there to find whats missing. Permaculture is definitely a passion of mine.

Well…. here is a handy tip of you adhders out there with time blindness
I really need tol at you know,… DONT DO THIS 😂😂

About 6 months ago I put my car clock forward about 8ish minutes and my phone clock (yep I overrode the internet clock and changed it myself) about the same, they were a little off but I knew both were 5 mins ahead, I always had at least 5 mins up my sleep
But damn,
After 3 days I realised great, the clock is actually wrong so I’m not running late, I’m on time, and then the “I still got 5 mins my clock is fast” bs started…
and then this is where I went wrong
One day I just decided, I’m going to change my phone clock back to regular time… I don’t friggen know why!!
So I have to override the last 6 months of telling myself “it’s fine my clock is fast”.
so anyway…. I realised after one day that it was not smart, and I was so sure I changed it back… SO SURE
but this week I have been late to EVERYTHING and I’m like huh? my phone is meant to be 5 mins fast, remember, you changed it back to normal time then made it back fast again
Except this morning when I realised, no I never made it fast, the time on my phone is in fact the real time…
people, no matter what you think, changing the time on your phone never works, just don’t do it….
My brain is so confused about what time it is @Jynx 🤣🤣🤣

What the hell

Bahahaha oh nooooo @ArraDreaming I have thought of doing something similar in the past but I shall definitely learn from your mistake!! Hahaha. I swear that's how my brain goes too sometimes, when I'm trying to build a new habit and like I swear I just can't get it to stick, so I go back to the old habit and voila, now I can't do the old one anymore and I finally start doing the new one when it's already too late 🤣

Oh lawd hope you weren't late to work or anything?
