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!!

@Former-Member you have unmediated ADHD + dyslexia. Maybe anxiety?

+ PTSD = totally crippling

How are you going to tackle this?

@Former-Member I’m not being kind. I’m stating facts.

There are no fast fixes. It takes time.

The most important thing is feeling safe. Feeling safe gives you good quality sleep and let the nightmares come.

@Former-Member family scapegoat? You wouldn’t believe how common it is.

Total strangers can sniff out your vulnerability and you become a target 🎯 for their own anxiety, fear and anger.

There is nothing worse than being an observant, sensory genius and dumbass people set out to destroy qualities that they don’t understand or see as a threat.

I you get programmed/brainwashed into abandoning yourself. I’ve lived mate. Coming out the other side is massive daily change. Overwriting neural pathways takes enormous energy. Totally worth it. 💯
