Yes! Listening To Music To Track Time Is A GREAT Way To Combat Both Executive Dysfunction, AND Just My

Yes! Listening to music to track time is a GREAT way to combat both executive dysfunction, AND just my general terrible sense of time. TIME DOESN’T EXIST so I fill it with music to make the fake measurements easier to bear or understand.

I’ll often try to decide between two things, and get stuck. And it’s never a serious choice! The most serious question I asked was which prom dress I wanted for senior year. So! I ask a friend or group of people “hey, should I do X or Y?”

‘You should do X’

And I’ll do the opposite. “Got it! Thanks! I’ll do Y!”

It may seem a little confusing, but it’s honestly helped me deal with both making decisions, and feeding the little spite gremlin living in my brain.

executive dysfunction is telling yourself for two and a half hours that you need to shower bc you smell like your workplace and you absolutely Cannot do Anything Else until you shower, doing Any Other Thing before showering is illegal!!! but you still haven’t for some reason??? you’ve just been sitting on your bed in a towel scrolling tumblr for 2+ hours thinking “I need to shower right now immediately” and growing increasingly frustrated that you are still not clean and you haven’t eaten or done your laundry either

My parents: if i had adhd and depression and found it hard to complete school work or hold a job I would simply stop being lazy

How would y’all feel if I started a comic about my personal experiences with adhd? It’s not a sure thing, but I’ve lowkey wanted to do a webcomic for a while now. Just trying to gauge interests.

If your ADHD is causing you to fuck up more, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the ADHD is getting worse.. you could just be doing more things which gives you more opportunity to fuck up.

This is one of the reasons, ADHD can get ‘worse’ as an adult. A child has very few responsibilities. An adult on the other hand, has all kinds of opportunities to fuck up on.
