Adhd Problems - Tumblr Posts
8. You're hungry but you don't want to eat anything or just don't want to get up.
The adhd modes of food
1. You ate that burger so fast. You ate that burger so fucking fast and now the whole Red Robin is staring at you god what the fuck
2. You started eating like a normal person, but then you started talking or daydreaming and now the waitress is handing you the check but you’ve still got half a plate of cold fettuccine
3. You were going to go out to eat, but then you saw a video in your YouTube recommendation that drew you towards it like moth to a flame, and now it’s 10 pm and you’ve got an empty bag of tortilla chips in your hand and shame in your heart
4. Mac And Cheese
Noo, but like we're joking and stuff, but this can seriously be ridiculously dangerous when you have ADHD. Still dangerous but still ridiculous too. Somehow it's always the best feeling too 😩
there’s absolutely nothing better than reading a 100k word fanfic, that is until you remember you have a body that is starving, thirsty and incredibly sleep deprived and hasn’t used the bathroom since the sun set 8 hours ago
That's precisely because he's this type of character that I still don't like his character in the show.
The books being told through his perspective and everything converging toward him 99.99% of the time is why I might never read them. It's such a turn-off for me. I'm giving myself until the last season to see if i ever change my mind about this.
And yeah, even without reading the books, knowing that he'd have 3 girls loving him, I just knew that the explanation would have "he's the dragon reborn", "he's the hero of the story" 😩
I've been telling bookreader and bookcloaks that his character just wouldn't have worked on screen as well as any other one as the main because of the type of character that he is and because of when this adaptation is happening since I first engaged with the fandom. Glad a show first book reader is confirming what I thought about him.
Rand's the least appealing and interesting character to me, even with Josha being incredible at playing him and him not being the main angle of focus anymore.
Add to that the fact that Robert was a naturally plot driven writer and not a character driven one, and that it's overly apparent which makes this problematic as it means that it's imbalanced, also the books are ridiculously descriptive, each the size of an encyclopedia (except New Spring) and there's 14 of them plus I have ADHD.
I probably will never join book readers except for the New Spring ones, but who knows. Someday, maybe.
Two books in, I can’t help feeling like people who are upset that Rand isn’t getting enough screen time in the show just have some sort of wish fulfillment with book!Rand. He’s a totally fine “chosen one” character, but in typical chosen one fashion he’s trope-y enough to be one of the less interesting characters in the books so far imo. But you know, every girl is in love with him for some unclear reason, people give him respect when he’s quiet and then even more when he gets bossy, being petulant makes people like him *more,* and nothing he has to do actually takes that much effort or challenge (and his mistakes don’t ever backfire). There’s a certain type of person, and especially a certain type of young boy, for whom I feel like that would REALLY resonate.
Do you kids know how hard it is to hyper fixate on shit as a goddamn adult?? Sorry boss I know you need those files done but I’m too busy giggling like a goddamn school girl over a fictional man
Me enjoying a new media when I realize it’s a potential threat to the old media I’m hyperfixating on: look I hate to do this to you but there isn’t anything between us. sorry to do this to you, but… I’m seeing someone right now.
I love my ADHD because my memories so bad that when i go back and “reread” fanfictions i’m just as surprised by the fanfic the second or third time around because i forgot it all it’s like a constant new update
you actually have to THINK to win in chess??? insane
I've started writing a book! Well, a short story kinda thing.
IT'S GONNA BE A SERIES!!!
I think....
My ADHD makes me not wanna keep stories 😒
But I feel like I really wanna do this
I'm gonna make my own language for it as well!
Would that be lame? I dunno 😅
I wonder if people even read these...
:\
well I hope you all will like it! ^^
I'll keep you all updated on how it goes ;p
a neurodivergent blurb
I have ADHD. very, very bad ADHD. Anything and everything can be overstimulating. But there are some weird things that I do that make no sense.
Noises. I hate large crowds. They're loud and chaotic and terrible. But! I can and will blast k-pop at full volume in my earphones.
Using a weighted blanket. Most people think that if I can't freely move around, I'll be overwhelmed. But, actually, that makes it worse.
Lots of accessories. Sometimes, certain pieces of jewelry make everything bad. Like, I can't wear rings on my left hand and I can't wear bracelets on my right wrists. That's how you know that I don't have OCD.
Yay, ADHD.
(Death and puss are laying close next to each other for a date and puss is spilling some stupid yet silly thoughts that he is having to death)
Puss: death…
Death: yeah?
Puss: when you think about it Cupid is evil because they always pair people with abusers if they don’t get lucky..
Death: what?-
Puss: and what if the air and wind is trying to kill us but it takes years for it too.
Death: gato are you ok?-
Puss: someone right now could be dying right now but we can’t see it…
Death: what the fu-
Puss: anyways wanna make out-
Left my phone alone and my best friend took it and took feet picks from my classmates 🤦♀️
I think one of the trickiest things I've experienced having ADHD is people simply calling your behaviours weird. For those who don't know, ADHD means that dopamine (the happiness hormone) doesn't get released regularly throughout the day, and on some days (at least in my experience) it doesn't get released at all. On these No-Dopamine-Days, motivation is impacted massively and everything that would usually make me smile is suddenly boring. But it's more than just being bored, my brain literally can't see the point to doing anything because nothing is giving me dopamine.
Now imagine on one of these days, you randomly find something that starts giving you dopamine. It could be a new song, a comfort movie or a random show. You aren't always able to find something, but when you do, it literally feels like pure gold :^). Which is why I end up repetitively listening to songs on a loop for hours, rewatching the same movie start to finish 5 times a day, or obsessively binge watching and rewatching series (baisically, finding a new hyperfixation or revisting an old/current one)
I'm struggling so hard to find anything that gives me dopamine, and when I've finally found something, I exhaust that resource because there's nothing else that is interesting me or motivating me.
So now imagine that multiple people in my personal life have straight up said that they think that behaviour (rewatching films, looping songs) is weird and that I need to "cut it out". =_=
It's so tricky because I don't know how to explain to them the entire situation because they just call me dramatic, but it really upsets me when they ostrichise me for just like, watching Freinds alot :,-)
So if anyone has been in a similar situation and has any sort of advice I would appreciate it ;-; ! And this is your reminder that rewatching shows + listening to songs on loop is completely valid, there's literally so much worse things you could be doing with your time (TT)
I'm the only neurodivergent person in my friend group (ADHD) and it is literally so exhausting sometimes. Firstly, they all hate my hyperfixations and actively shittalk the things I'm passionate about because I talk about them too much and I guess that annoys/bores them, so I end up just feeling like a burden whenever I go to talk about something that interests me. They aren't bad friends, they just don't really understand how important my hyperfixations are to me and how much it hurts my feelings when I'm constantly cut off or when they change the subject while I'm talking. I need more neurodivergent friends because it's so refreshing to talk to someone who shares my hyperfixations and doesn't think all my tangents are weird :^)
First reblog I hope I am doing this right 😅
i feel like i had a massive breakthrough with understanding in hindsight how adhd has affected my relationship with art, and i sat there for about an hour just like
you know, as a person with adhd i`m so fucking angry and frustrated, just so done in general sometimes with neurotypical people, who have no fucking patience with us. i understand that you`re pissed at me that i forgot someting, or i didn`t norice something, or it seems to you that i didn`t pay attention to your words. but it`s so fucking hard for me too. wow, what a big surprise! i don`t do it because i`m lazy or because i`m an asshole and want to annoy you on purpose. it`s. just. how. my. fucking. brain. functions. and i`d do anything at these times to trade it for yours organized brain. i`m angry myself at me. stop making it worse. i`m tired of hating myself for that. i`m so angry, i wanna cry
it's not understanding other's feelings and misreading the room, never knowing when is best to just shut up - these are the things that make me even more miserable
