I dislike that socialization is behind a paywall. Capitalism putting a price on community destroys the spirit of community connection.

That moment when I had taken notes and cleverly used symbols to help short-hand things, only to now be looking at these notes and have no idea what the symbols are supposed to mean.

There are so many different ways to laugh, why would someone do just one

There are so many things I want to sit down and do. But the moment mentally focus up on doing one of the things, I immediately feel hollowed out, energy evaporates, and my existence becomes to heavy to move :(

So many times I go to post something and then it feels too nuanced to fit inside the character limit

was listening to an #ADHD video about how when the person isn't in front of you, you lose the feeling of connection to them & thus feel lonely. Suggestion was to put photos of your ppl around you, so now I have a use for the Polaroid

My #ADHD in 2026 is not just time blind, it's time disconnected.

I just checked on a message that I swear I sent three days ago. It was yesterday.
This first weekend feels like it's been a whole week long. And it was Friday for three days already. So the date is un/kn/own'26

wake up and first feeling of the new year is that i don't matter to people ๐Ÿ˜ž and all the 'advice' of "it didn't matter what others think of you" is useless because we are a social species so yes it does

& when I ADHD-ghost, I'd hope the person is willing to reconnect & forgive & maybe help me minimize the things that put pressure on me to ghost in the first place.

Sure I'll take precautions against the harm of being ghosted, but I won't punish them for ghosting, especially the first few times. & yes it's multiple forgivings b/c we're not good at habits so developing the behaviors to counteract this need more time to get rooted.

I've been #ADHD #ghosted by ppl, & that's okay. That person can come back & I'm willing to reconnect. I believe forgiving them will help them be less likely to do it in the future or happen for less time, which is a win.

Even better, reach out first, non-judgmentally, to take some pressure off them

We're not asking to be allowed to be shitty people. We're asking for help to not accidentally be doing this, cuz we don't want to do this.

Being punished doesn't help; we're already punishing ourselves internally. But being encouraged can be incredibly powerful for us (cuz dopamine).

This is the most important thing to understand.

We didn't "forget about you b/c you're not important," we didn't "not reply b/c we don't care." We do care, we want to stay in contact, we want to do the thing. We just have a brain that works different.

This is where accommodations can help.

These vanishing acts can occur gradually or in one big impulsive withdrawal. They end up persisting when we don't know how to reconnect with that person since it is often viewed as a breach of trust or as being rude; making it all the more difficult for us to overcome this behavior

But sometimes it's entirely unintentional.

We don't notice time passing so don't realize how long it's been, & we aren't good at recalling something without being prompted so something needing a reply can get pushed to the background, especially when our attention is full of "all the things"

#ADHDers have a "talent" for disappearing.

#ADHD #ghosting often happens when RSD is involved. We believe the other person/ppl don't want anything to do with us cuz we made a mistake, missed a deadline, etc

It's also a response to being overwhelmed by "all the things"

what did ancestral hippos live with that the evolutionary pressure lead to 2 inch thick hide, a 2000 psi bite, weapon teeth tusks over a foot long, and ability to run nearly 20 mph while weighing 4.5 tons

Truth be told, I've been slackin', but ain't that appropriate for a stoney baloney game like "High Noon in Space," a Teens in Space game filled with a bunch of fun guys! Come check it out over at twitch.tv/RollersJoint on alternating Tuesdays, starting this Tuesday 10/14 at 11AM CST.

My #ADHD has me deeply driven to optimize, which creates perpetual torture b/c basically all of society and life functions at the moment seems to be designed to be as un-optimal as possible.

I'm trying to sleep but my #ADHD brain is busy inventing a "Hunt & Eat" food toy for cats, complete with consideration for wheels, motors, material type, falling over, and sensor for when to be dead.

If everyone is a little #ADHD, then why do we have these unreasonable societal standards? Give accommodations to everyone so it becomes the norm.

Oh, you don't need someone reminding you to eat? or go to the bathroom? or get to bed before 2am?

Hmm, maybe everyone isn't a little #ADHD then.

It's been a week since my last post (iykyk), but I was lucky and remembered to post
Happy ADHD Month
on the first of October!

I thought today was October 1st & I was really proud that I was gonna post Happy ADHD Awareness Month on the first day.

But it's not 10/1 yet, lol, that's very on brand

Try to get ADHD strategy help, and admit my sleep isn't going well at the moment; Dr's stance becomes "go to sleep on time and wake up early, then you'll be fixed."

No, I was struggling even when my sleep was regular.
And no, struggling to *do* what I intend is part of why my sleep is bad.

Ugh!
