ADHD of the Day

😬 I don’t think I have the executive functioning required to get rid of head lice 😬 don’t get me wrong, I’m trying! There are just a lot of steps. Please tell me my family won’t have this forever…

I keep forgetting about this account for long periods of time 😂 in today’s adhd: this morning I resolved to eat breakfast without looking at my phone. Very quickly I realized I was getting up and pacing between each bite 😂

Basically for me I get really depressed at times my progesterone level is higher than normal

Yes I recently also put that together about progesterone! Like every mental health crisis of my life relates to it 🤯

What I mean is the way a piece of clothing feels/fits in the 2-3 minutes where you try it on and decide to buy it has very little to do with how it will feel months later and what sensory nightmares will arise. Leading to much $ spent on clothes and tons of almost new stuff in the donation bin 🫠

In true ADHD fashion I forgot this account existed for a minute but I’m back to complain about the ADHD/ND clothing tax 1/2

The thinking in the shower “I should really look that up” to forgetting what I wanted to look up the moment I get out of the shower pipeline…

Shoutout to all the other parents navigating a snow day with a sensory sensitive kid 🫠

A win: canceled a free trial before I got charged! 🥳 maybe for the first time ever? 😂 #adhd

Three mugs with spoons

Today’s ADHD 😂 I guess today’s tea was a 3-mug job

Today’s ADHD: my shampoo subscription got cancelled because despite several warning emails I never changed my payment information after my credit card expired!

The world feels like it’s on fire today, and it’s hard to concentrate on anything 😞 In ways-I-accidentally-made-myself-bleed news, today it was opening up a cardboard package #adhd (cardboard is sharp though right?!)

It tracks

Today in ND wins: I didn’t care about someone I love’s disapproval of my parenting/my child’s behavior. A simple thing, but a big one when RSD can feel so immense

Strengths: works well under pressure

Weaknesses: doesn’t work otherwise

Rough day, especially knowing this is only the beginning

I can’t believe we’re gonna do this again

God tomorrow’s gonna suck

Having more sensory meltdowns and I swear it’s at least in part because of the dang microwave #adhd probably #audhd

Just got a new microwave (replacing our old one that stopped working, RIP) and it is so…beepy? Reminder beeps when you don’t take the thing out right away. Extra beeps when the food is hot (and I only eat food when it is approximately the temp of the sun 😂)

A new entry in the silly ways I made myself bleed series: putting together a sippy cup 🤪 Truly I have talent #adhd #adhdparenting

Also post it notes in key places that say “Drink water” 😅

Ok I bought dried lavender flowers (they sell them at the grocery store as a spice) and put a little in my water (just like 2-3 at a time, they pack a punch) and it helps me a lot! Godspeed, the water struggle is real

The funniest part of all of this is that it was an appointment about ADHD meds 😛 #adhd currently raw dogging life and clearly that is working great…

Even arranged childcare for this morning so I would have fewer distractions. Signed in to the patient portal today and lo and behold, no appointment 😅

the office sent several reminders via email AND text that all said Tuesday, but I didn’t even clock that

Oh I have a good one: I had an appointment that was originally scheduled for today, but got moved to Tuesday because of doctor availability. But of course I never changed it on my calendar 🙃

Literally me today

Slept through an alarm 👎 but apparently there is an iPhone bug where alarms don’t go off so maybe this one wasn’t an #adhd?! 👍

🤣
