AddLemmus@lemmy.mlto ADHD memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com•What unintended ADHD medication were you taking before you realized?English1·6 months agoNeurotypicals think they have this superior discipline and attitude to “get on the task”, and I believed them, too! Now, medicated, I realise that they only work on these constant dopamine micro rewards in their prefrontal cortex. Which I now get, too.
AddLemmus@lemmy.mlto ADHD memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Things I learned as a child that probably no one intended to teach meEnglish1·6 months ago“Being bad at stuff” is also so selective. The other kids are not expected to be two years ahead in math, but I am expected to be able to sit perfectly still for 4 hours and pay attention in an oxygen depleted room. Everybody has to have this nearly exact same skillset.
It’s not what society needs, not even what the industry needs in the workforce, but that is most convenient for the teachers.
AddLemmus@lemmy.mlto ADHD memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com•tfw someone just steals feelings out of your brain and puts them to wordsEnglish0·7 months agoIt’s actually the normies who can’t even do laundry without a little neurotransmitter bottle from mommy frontal cortex. We fight demons every day.
AddLemmus@lemmy.mlto ADHD memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Learning to interrupt gracefully is a skillEnglish1·9 months agoThe only way I can picture this: Face the talker, lean forward at the hip joint as far as balance allows, rotate both arms like V-22 Osprey propellers, mouth wide open without making a sound.
That can be eliminated completely: Don’t let the loss of appetite fool you, eat by exact calorie count & clock, against all instincts. Don’t take it in the morning without enough food either. After anything that would require a rest otherwise, such as a long walk, even after lunch when you didn’t have enough sleep at night, certainly after a workout, take as much rest as you’d normally need, even when you don’t feel like it. Even 20 minutes cleaning, 10 minutes rest; don’t go into a cleaning frenzy.
It goes to zero. (Experiences may vary, but I went from crashing after 3 - 4 hours to no crashes at all, being happy and productive after 14 minutes awake, then fall asleep instantly.)
