Last night I just-one-more-chaptered myself into staying up until 2:45am to finish the book. Having gotten less than 4 hours of sleep as a result, I now find that this was both a glorious choice and an abominable one.

Is it naptime yet?

#TIL that #ADHD affects similar areas of the brain that get affected when a person experiences trauma. So at varying levels, those of us who have ADHD *can* be walking around with a form of #PTSD as well.

"...And then there are those of us with #anxiety and #depression. There are those of us with #ADHD. My feeling anxious and depressed when I consider the state of the universe is a natural and healthy response...."

casting pearls before ostriches – Courtney Cantrell's COURT CAN WRITE

@sidereal @fixiemama @futurebird (Oh! And DAVE = #DopamineAttentionVariabilityExecutiveDysfunction, a far more accurate term invented by Connor DeWolfe. 😊🤘🖖)

Oh! And since then, I've also been diagnosed with #ADHD!

WHICH EXPLAINS A LOT

ADHD "guru" #ConnorDeWolfe taught me the acronym #DAVE, which I think is a much better nomer than ADHD.

#AttentionDeficitHyperactivityDisorder sounds like something a neurotypical person might use to categorize my ways of being that the person considered bothersome.

#DopamineAttentionVariabilityExecutivedysfunction is FAR more accurate in describing what it's like to be my brain.

Hi. I'm Courtney, and I have DAVE.

Spouse is helping 11yo with her #math homework

Him: Okay, so how would you start solving this problem.

Her *thoughtfully*: ...Not do it?

I mean, I can't blame her.

Math is hard for us #ADHD brains.
