Adult Adhd - Blog Posts

I've noticed something...

There doesn’t seem to be any lists of ADHD studyblrs out there, and I’ve had some people ask me if I know of any. So I’ve decided to create a list of all ADHD studyblrs! Along with a list of blogs that are help and give advice on coping with ADHD. This list is just the ones I know of, so if you have one and are not on this list please reblog it with your studyblr!

ADHD STUDYBLRS: @adhdstudying @adhdstudy @adhdstudyblr @adhdscholar @studyadhd @adhdstudytips @finally-a-realistic-studyblr (me!!)

ADHD BLOGS: @actuallyadhd @adultadhdlifehacks @attentiondeficithyperactivedude @hey-look-a-squirrel @lifewithadhd @mentalillnessmouse (not ADHD specific but still a good resource to find help for coping with ADHD) @adhd-community @adhighdefinition @adhd-is

Again I’m sure there are way more blogs than the ones I listed, so if you have one please reblog this!!

Went to my favorite coffee shop to be productive and work and I forgot my headphones. Life is pain.

Just took my prescription for the first time in like months and damn unfortunately

the medical doctor with years of experience in my specific condition was right

I do need the pills they recommended.

My brain is back online again.

Guess I’ll have to get back to the mage (exhausted underpaid pharmacy tech) who relieves my malady (literal diagnosis of top 1% severe adhd) and take the potions (Adderall) from the apothecary (Costco pharmacy) until the end of days.

my biological mother is a pathological liar - i became a pathological liar as a defense mechanism growing up in my house with my narcissistic adopted stepmother; now i just make up creative stories when someone i dont know makes me uncomfortable. i went to therapy, and learned some coping mechanisms so that its not something i do automatically anymore - but when i choose to lie no one can ever really tell the difference.

i will never lie to my partner or my true friends, i will absolutely lie to my family and the government, and honestly??

lying is also fucking funny dude like yes i said this no i didnt mean it wtf does it matter?? i just came up with that shit on the spot and u BELIEVED me?? sometimes its a little too easy.

can we talk about autistics who are compulsive/pathological liars

Same tree, just a different branch

I’m sorry, I zoned out, if you could repeat literally everything you just said that’d be great

*ADHD brain zoning out again immediately*

"How do you have so much energy all the time ???"

I don't, I'm constantly tired but I'm also being the class clown because I have abandonment issues and adhd

I just spent like two hours explaining adhd with my brother to my grandparents (on to side of my family that doesn’t have it everywhere) and holy shitttt am I exhausted. Like I have adhd, both my brothers have adhd and so do a few of my cousins some aunts and uncles probably my gramma and maybe as well my great uncle and probably more as that is all on only one side of my family where it’s just highly concentrated at this point. But anyways that is not the point, the point is that trying to have a conversation with two neurotypicals as two neurodivergents about adhd is so fricking frustrating. So like at times my nana would interrupt my brother or get off topic about something and my brother and I would just look at each other like ‘seriously SERIOUSLY!?!???’ because we can’t just go back to the original conversation after getting side tracked that is literally not possible for us. Or at times she would get really focus on interest and being motivated by that and we were struggling to explain how interest is a factor but now I huge part in like studying for exams for example. (please note my mum, who is the not adhd sibling of her generation, is also trying to help explain this) Or also she, still my nana, got really caught up on how it must be that we can't focus because we can't see how it will immediately affect our futures when studying, which noooo we can see we just can't do anything to make ourselves study or be interested. and my grandpa was better about not interupting he did get kinda confused about if my brother (who doesn’t have an official diagnosis, the other brother and I do) was self diagnosing and how can we be sure if he does have adhd. And at this point when both of his sibling do, at least one cousin, two aunts and uncles and probably more family has it and adhd being known to be hereditary, you kinda get to know the symptoms well and can look at someone and go  ‘oh yeah you’ve got this and this and this and oh that too and this over here and oh yeah your life had kinda fallen apart a bit after high school yeah maybe you do have adhd’ so nope we maybe be ‘self diagnosing’ but when we’re also working for a diagnosis and know it that well its really not in the same category.

(and yes I know that they don’t know about this and are just trying to understand and look out for us but despite having grace to them in conversation that doesn’t make it any less frustrating. and im also only mentioning the more annoying/frustrating things here)

I have been unofficially diagnosed by my psychiatrist. She really doesn’t see the point of officially diagnosing me, since it really would do nothing to help my progress.

people wanna talk about "don't self diagnose autism" meanwhile the autism test is damn near 3k dollars, a lot of people don't believe women can have autism, and (for black people) doctors don't believe them when they say they have literally anything. so.

I Love Them!!! Can I keep them?!😍🥺

I don’t wanna be “cute” when I stim, I want to go apeshit wild. I want to be a creature.

Feel free to use these in your servers.

In school, I struggled with writing-heavy projects. Everyone else seemed to have no issue writing essays, while it felt impossible for me. I would spend hours just looking at a blank page, thinking through how to start.

When I told my 8th grade teacher that I would be handing in another essay late, he offered to grade my first draft so I could spend more time catching up on other projects.

He understood why I struggled when I told him I didn’t write drafts. I only ever submitted the best version I could manage in one sitting, but only after thinking about the entire essay altogether over multiple weeks.

I’m really trying to learn and understand, while also letting go of that. I want to paint and write and create without over analyzing each step, burning out before I start.

Finished the last course in my AA program! I just have to wait until my instructor submits my final grade and I can apply for graduation. It feels so good and almost unreal that it’s finally done. This semester was a challenge with a full course load, but being on a combination of the right meds made a huge difference.

Study mode activated. I have a 3-5 page paper to write for my forensic science class. I feel less stressed about this one than I did about last week’s. I’m also really proud of the gun I drew, especially since I’m nowhere near being an artist. Yay forensic science class!

My study buddy is here keeping me company. I’m on my second page and have taken my second Ritalin of the day to focus. I may drink more coffee later on to help focus my brain when the Ritalin wears off. ADHD is so much fun…

The writing process seems counterintuitive to me. It makes more sense to start writing, then edit to make things fit. College teaches you that you should plan and do the opposite, organize first then write.

Is there a writing process that better fits neurodivergent brains? College makes me feel broken sometimes.

Or I didn’t read the instructions fully

Needed to hear this today

Your disabilities’ effect(s) on your schooling do not make you a bad student; you are not a bad student because you are disabled.

I’m down for both of these challenges. Except on November 21st. That’s my husband’s birthday. I’ll experience that day.

This month I’ve decided to participate in an event called “October,” where for every day in October I’m going to experience a day in October.

Here’s the prompt list I’m using in case anyone wants to join me in this challenge:

Next month I’m thinking of trying out the “No November November” challenge, where I’ll refrain from experiencing November for the whole month of November.

adhd tips i stole from jawz.jpeg on instagram

these have actually helped me so much

All of this is a mood, including the tags, lol.

Our "many" disabilities disable us? Who would have guessed? Lol (this is mostly a dig at ourselves).

I often have to stop myself whenever I catch myself going “it’s just that easy” or “why can’t I be like this all the time?” after doing the most mundane shit without second thought.

It’s not that easy, I’m just having a really good day so far.

I can’t be like that all the time, I have a disability.

And that’s ok.

Going from suicidal to having a god complex in the space of 10 minutes is
