@BeAware I used to hide my homework in elementary school because I would forget how to do it because #undiagnosedadhd and undiagnosed #dyslexia at the time. "Incredibly smart but not willing to apply themself" was what I heard. I constantly failed my classes and it wasn't until I was diagnosed that I actually improved somewhat. But when you miss the basics.... wish people stopped with the "not applying themself" and started with "how can we help"?

@flawedamythyst @creepypaper @Knitbelove I think it's my current #UndiagnosedADHD hyperfixation, which would explain why I'm sprinting up this learning curve.

Anyway, will report back.

Sometimes #dreams really screw up my brain for the entire next day. There's nothing like an intense, focused-on-one-thing/person dream to give me an unshakable hyperfixation.

*sigh*

The ADHD Adults Podcast - Episode 13: Relationships with ADHD (Valentines Shmalentines)

In Episode 13, which is painful to listen to, James and Alex discuss the issues that commonly occur in relationships where one or more partners may have ADHD. As usual some psychoeducation (loosely speaking), incredibly painful personal reflections on on our relationship issues which are so bad we couldn't even mock each other and some 'Top Tips'. 'What did James lose this week?" continues and Alex gets more 'real' emails. James admits he was single for 10 years (is anyone surprised?) and Alex rubs his fertility in James's face.Support the show Written by Alex Conner and James Brown Produced by James Brown and Afatscientist Ltd.

I got in **so much trouble** as a kid for not immediately running to Mom or Dad to see what they needed.

I did not hear. At all. #UndiagnosedADHD will do that.

Between my #Neurodivergence and motherfucking James Dobson, my childhood was hell. Thanks for the #CPTSD, it's been great.

I have no respect or patience with #American #Evangelicals and their open complicity and support of the Far Right, but I do understand it's hard to change a mindset when you've been beaten until you agree.

That time you flew across the Atlantic to work on a co-authored paper and couldn't write a word.

Bonus: you forgot to bring your late-model MacBook's charging cable with you.

Update on the decluttering. Decided to get professional help in. They are coming tomorrow. After trying to do it myself and not completing it I just thought I need help and I'm sick of struggling so why not?
I guess if I'm paying people I should just let them do it. Going to feel weird, having people go through my things just reminding myself it will be worth it. Also what do I do with myself while they're here? Eek 😬 #Anxiety #undiagnosedadhd #executivedysfunction
@erin For me, with #UndiagnosedADHD, primary school was a stretch, high school was a disaster, my first two years of undergrad were a train wreck (and literally almost killed me). Then I got a diagnosis, treatment, and somehow graduated after an additional year to catch up. Post grad was great until I got pregnant and went off my meds- added yet another extra year and more debt before earning my degree. It was uphill the whole way. Haven’t decided if it was worth it or not.
I had a conversation with my therapist not too long ago about my body being evidence of my life: childhood trauma, #undiagnosedADHD and negative beliefs about myself. This quote from the #wisdomofyourbody by #HilaryMcBride gets to the heart of that. Although after rereading this first chapter, I realize I am still thinking of the mind and body being separate. My body includes my mind.
