As someone with ADHD
thats not how it works lol
I setup an Alexa skill just to find my phone around the house. I also have a tile tracker on my keys and wallet. Not the most privacy conscious choice but holy shit does it help
agreed. also add to the list anyone not autistic who describes minor personality quirks as "autistic." Get diagnosed by a pro before you go around spouting that shit.
Eh. Self diagnosis is controversial in the community. Women are also not diagnosed very often by medical professionals
also diagnosis is weird in general. it actually refers to a doc doing some sort of comprehensive test for your insurance or government in order to get disability benefits. its possible to get meds for a condition after describing how you feel to a doc without ever being properly 'diagnosed'. and being diagnosed and having that reported to insurance is a common way for insurance companies to discriminate against you, hence why it doesnt happen as a routine thing.
I have a full psych eval on the 28th. I suspect a plethora of issues ranging from BPD, C-PTSD, Bipolar type 2, ADD, OCD, and a few others related to panic attacks, anxiety, and depression. I used to be a nurse, so I'm not clueless about these things. I still have to jump through all the hoops and all I really want is just some Lamictal and Concerta. I can afford this for now, bit I feel for those who can't and have to deal with all this shit.
Thanks, abusive chud parents who wonder why they don't get to see their grandchildren. Maybe it has something to do with so much r*pe and domestic violence in front of a 4 year old, but what the fuck do I know? All I know is I need a lot of help. I'm doing DBT/EMDR but this depression every single day is overwhelming.
You're right except that as a USian, lol
Just think of us as having no access to pros. Medically speaking, we're a bit like The Purge. Steer clear - incorrect self-diagnoses are the least of the many, frequently fatal problems that our medical system causes
As another actual person with ADHD, I would be willing to bet that each and every OP of these specific type of tweets (the "actually its pretty ableist to get mad at me for ordering UberEats every night, I've never learnt to cook because I have ADHD" ones) just basically googled Signs you may have ADHD and clicked on the first Ten things every person with ADHD HATES style article they found; which obviously leads to them coming to the conclusion that every negative personality trait or piss-poor habit they have is ACTUALLY the fault of the ADHD they've had since conception.
I'm sure a bunch of these people, especially the goddamn 'I use disposable plates & utensils because doing the dishes is impossible for me with ADHD' woman that has stuck in my mind rent-free since I saw it like a year ago, legitimately do have some sort of issues but.... :cringe:
i got pretty terrible ptsd which effects my eating and cleaning habits a ton but i just eat meal replacement shakes and throw the cups i use rather lazily in the washer and run it even with other clean stuff in there lmao. making actual food all the time was hellish and would end up with me losing a ton of weight which isnt good because im already dangerously thin and tiny
just gotta remember that being perfect is the enemy of getting things done when your brain is all fucked. find the things that bother you and fix them. like the OP should probably install an autoflusher if its such a big deal
throw the cups i use rather lazily in the washer and run it even with other clean stuff in there lmao
I do the same thing basically, but with the 3 tiny corelle 'salad' plates & bowls I use for everything, baking sheets/pans, and my air-fryer basket specifically because otherwise I will rinse everything off halfheartedly in the sink and let it pile up in a semi-clean state in the dishwasher until it hits max capacity before going 'wtf where are all the clean dishes' so I feel you on that. :che-smile:
yeah theres a trick to get around almost any mental disability, you just gotta explore what is going on and how to avoid it. of course it also usually costs money, which is the really unfortunate bit. ive personally invested a lot of my money into home automation stuff and avoid doing things that could possibly make things dirty or prevent things from getting dirty. if doing something requires more than 1-2 steps or a huge time investment i go a little catatonic so being able to press a button to fix a thing is the way to go for sure.
Using disposable plates would be fine if, you know, they weren't insufferable about it. I have trouble doing the dishes myself, though that's usually overscheduling my time to exhaustion rather than "can't remember", but over the years I've developed a way around it via a complex system known as "the restaurant".
I don't blame anyone for their method of keeping their shit together as long as it's together and preferably flushed.
ADHDers can form habits (so can any fucking animal on earth), they just won't be as robust as NTs
and it's extra hard to choose which ones one learns (in my experience, I guess ymmv)
that's embarrassing. why would you admit that let alone defend that. you're embarrassing. why are you just saying that. oh my god.
this type of shit is just straight up internalized infantilization. what else can you call this shit. It's like you're putting on a show for NTs and saying 'look at me look at me I'm a little baby who can't do anything just like the stereotypes' for post ad hoc justification of living with the bare minimum of effort.
The act doesn't work. They'll kill you if they conceive of you as 'parasitic'. Stop offshoring basic responsibility for things that are actually trivial onto your intrinsic qualities as an excuse and grow the fuck up.
Imagine if a Jewish capitalist invoked the JQ to justify exploitation. That's how you sound. You're normalizing harmful rhetoric against a marginalized group that you are a part of in order to dodge responsibility. Once again, grow the fuck up and fucking try to function. I know it's hard. It's unfair. You deserve a level of basic accommodation that will allow you to function normally otherwise. But it is still your responsibility to grasp that window of accommodation to become that functioning member of society. You are not an invalid. You have ADHD. You can flush your poop. I shouldn't be having to talk to you like you're a child, and you shouldn't be acting like a child. Get your fucking act together.
it took me like a full minute to realize you weren't yelling at your own previous comment, lol.
Once again, grow the fuck up and fucking try to function.
You think we fucking don't?
The flushing the toilet thing is completely ridiculous, but what you're saying would apply to anyone with developmental disabilities struggling with anything NTs consider basic or easy.
For example brushing my teeth is hard for me, it's sensory hell, and when something is unpleasant I just end up forgetting to do it most of the time. I've formed habits doing it daily for months at a time, but if I forget to do it even once I can completely drop off and not even realize for weeks to months.
a) Flush your damn toilet
b) Stop broadcasting shit like this on Twitter
c) Stop posting shit like this hereI have ADHD. It's only natural that I leave an upper decker at your home, tides go in tides go out, it's just the natural order.
This thread is disgusting you don't get to police what are acceptable and unacceptable behaviours for ND people or bully them for it just because their behaviour is embarrassing. What the fuck I am reading.
i'm neurodivergent and I don't think I'd ever openly talk about how I handle my doodoo
lmao yeah never had a problem with flushing toilets.... part of me kind of feels bad for this weirdo though with that QT:like ratio
