So fun fact about caffeine is that is reacts VERY differently in an #ADHD brain. People with ADHD struggle with regulating dopamine, and for some people, adding a jolt of caffeine can actually give your brain the dopamine it needs to help balance out your brain chemistry and it has a calming effect. I have learnt that when my body is tired but my brain is not, a #RedBull will actually put me right to sleep. Not always, but if I am physically tired enough, it usually does the trick. So at 7am, still feeling locked in a weird panicked feeling, I risked testing this theory again. Sometimes, the RedBull does what it says on the tin and acts as an energy drink, so it was a risk, but after a few sips, I thankfully felt it working its ADHD magic and I was dozing off by 7:30. 😴

I only got 3 hours sleep but it’s a bit of a quiet day today anyways so I don’t need to function much. 🥱 wish me luck lol

I should have known last night was going to be an #ADHD rollercoaster after accidentally cooking my baked potatoes for three hours. I spent the rest of the night locked in transition paralysis at my computer. Literally, the rest of the night. I got some great work done, submitted some job applications and stuff, but I finally dragged myself to bed at 5:30am but still couldn’t sleep. My head was running at 200kph and was juggling a trillion things at once, so at 7am I decided to do something potentially risky that has only made sense to me in the past year — I grabbed a #RedBull and drank about half of it.

Part 2 coming.

Do you ever feel like you're trying to push a giant boulder uphill, but it just won't budge? That feeling of being 'stuck' has a name: autistic inertia. It's not you being lazy; it's a real neurological experience for many of us on the autism spectrum and with ADHD. , #executivedysfunction, #adhdparalysis, #actuallyautistic, #mentalhealthsupport, #selfregulation Get my FREE training for autistic confidence. visit link in my bio

#ADHDParalysis I got up early for once, but apart from a shower, I've done nothing. I'm angry at myself but that doesn't help, I'm sitting with my phone in my hand listening to radio 4. I need help, but I don't know what help I need.

Retirement has removed all deadlines. I am waiting to the computer to become free so I can do my german lesson (I'll get hyperfocussed on that). I should do some sewing, but it is difficult bit that I need to do so I'm procrastinating.

#ADHD = writing your to do list, then feeling completely overwhelmed by the tasks on your to do list, causing you not to do any task at all 😫 #ADHDparalysis

Meine #ADHDparalysis resultiert wie bei sehr vielen Spätdiagnostizierten aus der Panik, wieder etwas „falsch“ zu machen und Ärger zu kassieren. Z.B. zu spät kommen.

Die Systeme, die wir uns bauen, um zu funktionieren, sind immens.

Sie können aber nur greifen, wenn sie im neurodivergenten Rahmen arbeiten. Dafür muss man den eigenen Rahmen kennen.

Their rules don‘t apply.
