Oh interesting. I’ll give that a blast

I take my meds at home but I also bought like four of them so when I have the executive function to fill them I do it and I’m sorted for four weeks!

Food is different for me. When I first got diagnosed and medicated for ADHD I realised that I was ALWAYS hungry. Like always. I had never not been hungry in my life. I had been full/stuffed but hunger just does not work properly for me. Meds just suddenly made me recognise it. So I can eat my breakfast and not be craving food in ten minutes again.

Not a doctor but I reckon what I had thought was hunger was actually craving dopamine. So I was eating because I thought I was hungry and looking for the kick of sugary foods but I really just needed balanced dopamine levels

For me (piano player/singer and dabble in others) it’s a quick dopamine hit. I struggled most with the ‘boring’ part of training but I hyperfocused through a lot of it and my teacher thankfully new that I needed motivation through that so instead of just learning my exam pieces and technical exercises I was playing pop songs as well that I could sing along with myself etc.

The point I quit lessons was second year college with a new teacher where I spent all year on two pieces. I nearly lost my mind and never went back to lessons.

Even today I struggle to get myself to the piano but I can lose myself for hours and forget to eat or go to the bathroom and just float along on the sea of sound and dopamine 😂

To be fair to the journal, most people use the app which is far more palatable. This is their Home Screen right now for example https://ibb.co/fS4gmJc

I am rediscovering a love for C&H thanks!

I completely agree. It’s hilarious!!!

That’s weird I can read it on iOS and I’m definitely not a subscriber

That is good content! Off to google I went to explore the rabbit hole

And here’s a good read! https://time.com/3633514/why-wont-america-go-metric/

Sweet Jesus 😬😬😬😱

My son was diagnosed AuDHD in 2021. I have been diagnosed AuDHD this year. I went through the adult autism assessment first. I’m very high functioning (albeit a dated term). I adore research and learning so did well in school and I’m a teacher now. The structure suits me.

However I’m a massive masker. I’ve been dealing with and hiding anxiety, self esteem issues, terror around social stuff, need for routine etc and it all came out and was validated in my diagnosis. It’s been liberating

I wouldn’t fancy this version on kindle, not sure how it would work. The main stories are footnoted with the comments to the left and right of the text. I’m away for the next week but I’ll take a few pics when I’m back and share em!

The Annotated Brothers Grimm Bicentennial Edition Edited by Maria Tatar Fairytales I’m loving it. I’m heading to Efteling later in the year and want to remind myself of all the stories

Highly recommended

That is absolutely shameful. Wtaf is wrong with them

I’m AuDHD. Other half is undiagnosed but probably ADHD. 8 year old is AuDHD. No idea about the three year old. But yeah… our house is either stripped bare if I’ve been on a hyperfocus clean or absolute chaos if neither of us have been

Deebot our robot vacuum has helped a lot. And we are trying to implement some routine but none of us are very good at routine so… 😂

Totally agree. They will continue to push the boundaries. We need to shove back

There is quite the differential between the length of those lists…. Thankfully no threads in Europe

Yeah

Yes. It’s mad to me that two weeks ago I could sort by new and keep up (apart from NSFW). Now I can’t. Albeit my instance disappeared last night so I’m rebuilding again
