I'm realizing my job is understimulating, which to a lot of folks sounds like a potentially great time to folks that want minimal stress at work, but as #ActuallyADHD it is freaking HELL - I become paralyzed and unable to do work or focus, it is like I am mentally stuck in a bog I cannot fight my way out of and it literally feels uncomfortable/painful in a non-physical way

Appreciative of the ability to pound music into my skull now because it's weirdly "unlocking" my ability to task initiate. It's a solution to an #understimulation issue I've had for a long time and never knew. I was always weirded out by coworkers that would have a Twitch stream or something up because of the appearance of non-productivity but now it's clicking, they may have this issue too. (There's a lot of ADHDers/neurodivergent folks here.)

If you're #AuDHD do not forget your ADHD needs! It's easy to remove all stimulus in trying to fulfill Autistic needs but doing so can inadvertently mess you up.
