DF Tube: it makes youtube “distraction-free” by allowing you to disable a lot of the stuff on the screen – autoplay, recommended videos on the side of the screen when you’re watching videos, comments and livestream chats, everything on the home screen when you go to the website, etc.

Basically, it just means that when you go to youtube through the website, you have to search something specific in order to find anything. It is still possible to go down rabbitholes through a person’s channel, links in a video description, etc, but the frequency of rabbitholes should be much less. And no more emotional spirals, either, since you can’t read or get into arguments in the comments.

Everything you do on youtube has to be 100% intentional.

i just turned on my hyperfixation song and got so happy ahhh

This is a very vague ADHD tip that doesn’t quite make sense, but I know that when I kind of labeled my hobbies as Hobbies I Am Actively Doing and Hobbies I Have Forgotten About, it was a lot harder to return to the Hobbies I Have Forgotten About because I felt like… I dunno how I felt, it was just weird.

So now I just have a really big list of Hobbies and even though a lot of them I’m not actively working on, it’s easier to go back to them when I think of them as hobbies I already have than as hobbies I need to start. 

Like, when I think of myself as a programmer who just isn’t programming right now/the past few months, it’s easier to step back into programming than when I think of myself as someone that used to be a programmer. 

Why the heck am I crying over how ADHD is handled in my country?

Me, doing literally anything: LeT’s dO SoMetHinNg ELsE.

new fun game: are ppl with autism or ADHD really relatable or am i just undiagnosed

Zoom lectures suck anyway, and they give me sensory overload easily, but I figured out something important

I think they give me so much sensory overload because I’m pressured to absorb all the sensory or course information much quicker than I’m actually able. My brain gets kicked into overdrive and can’t process it all even then, which burns the whole system out :^(

me: if I want to finish this library book by the time it’s due (and I do want to finish it because it'sa really good book!) then I need to read a minimum of 150 pages a day which should be doable considering I have basically no other obligations for the next few days

my learning disabilities: you’re gonna reread the same paragraph so many times. you’re gonna be so miserbale. even with your favorite reading music and your special glasses and a cup of tea with your bedroom door closed to block out distractions you are not going to retain a single. fucking. word.

Adhd is: seeing adhd symptoms is every fictional character you love

I just want to finish my studies and get to work this year but there are so many roadblocks: abridged list

• McCarthyism — I currently live under the mercy of a machismo-fueled fascist regime that takes pride in mass-murdering the poor and gaslighting everyone else into hating and wishing a horrible death upon me and anyone who has ever been to my uni
• I’m an autistic bipolar borderline with ADHD so attitude checks during interviews are going to be the death of me
• continuing from previous bullet: I have absolutely no money to afford food and rent (as of now I am starving myself and I am two months behind and I feel like I’m about to get evicted), let alone therapy or medication
• in case people ask about family, how should I tell them that I severed ties with them because it’s toxic at home (plus I cannot go home while this virus is still killing people) and they refused to listen
• I want to work part-time (from home = best) AND study because I have only a few major units left to finish before I graduate and I cannot waste the opportunity

tonight’s gonna be wild *takes meds with diet coke instead of water*

i’ve heard so many self-dx'ers say something along the lines of “oh i’m afab so it’s not worth trying to get a diagnosis”

and my friends you are wrong

YES it may be harder

you might end up with bigoted doctors at first

but KEEP TRYING

if you have adhd or autism (or any other condition) you deserve support and seeking a diagnosis can get you there

don’t give up just

• do your research
• keep a level head

and

• if a doctor isn’t the right fit for you, find another one

(also every country and state and city is different, because this county of rural virginians has sexist doctors doesn’t mean amsterdam does too)

hang in there! i love u

I really need to stop looking up things that would explain my joint and muscle problems. Because all I want to do is cry.

calling all neurodivergent peeps who’re hyperfixated on, or whose special interest is music, or any kind of instrument;

please infodump in the replies! just tell me anything :))) if you have anything about older music though that would be great, preferably 60s-80s based.

Hey ADHD, everything alright? You’ve barely touched your Hyperfixation :(

Taking stimulant meds for ADHD can be so frustrating because (here in the US anyway, can’t speak for anyone else) the process of maintaining these Rxs isn’t ADHD friendly at all.

How to tell if I actually have ADHD and autism or if it’s C-PTSD from being traumatized since birth

I need to start tagging when I reblog adhd posts that I relate to so I can have a handy list of symptoms to show my therapist
