I recently saw someone talking about ADHD meds and Autism. Mentioned when your ADHD is controlled your Autistic traits could become more prominent. This speaks volumes to me and explains my retreat from engaging with society. I thought I was just getting old and this was a part of life after 40 lol

Hates going outside, but loves playing in his backpack.

Me then (before diagnosis): dreamt of working in a big office, wearing cute clothes everyday, and socializing with colleagues.

Me now (after shedding my mask): dreaming of a peaceful life as a recluse, a hermit, with lots of cats, and no one judging me for wearing pajamas all day.

This is how to do it, kids: Home insurance is now a climate story. Put it on the front, and put "climate change" at the top. Especially now that deniers will control the federal and state government.

What happened to his neck? Asking for a friend.

The medical mafia drives me crazy. I tell my pharmacy every month I pick up my adderall I need to have it on time or I’ll lose my job because without it I can’t function in society. I tell them I’m autistic and adhd so I shut down when rejected. They continue to treat me like a crack head each time.

I’ve been gone for a while stuck in autistic freeze mode where I retreat from society. Paralyzed with fear and constant thoughts of failure because of my adhd. Hoping to slowly make my way back to living in the real world and out of my fantasy world of justice and fairness.

Fridays are the best and worst days for ADHD. In the morning you get up with this sudden urge to complete everything by noon because that’s when the weekend starts for you. But you’re paralyzed from the fear of not finishing until afternoon and end up working until 7. #executivedysfunction #TGIF

I’ve been staring at my cat for 3 days straight whilst suffering from debilitating anxiety from my lifelong procrastination. In my next life I hope to be a cute cat.

ADHD Stimming activities. Flaps were too big cut it down to size and used scraps for lining. Instant hit. #catinabox #orangeactivities

It’s Friday and I just spent the last couple of hours scared to send an email update because I’m worried what their reaction will be. RSD is real. Really inconvenient. I used to think that it was just teenage self esteem issues. Never thinking I was good enough. Nope, it’s ADHD. #latediagnosedadhd

It’s magic hour for the kitties and existential crisis hour for those of us lucky enough to have ADHD. They’ve got the zoomies and I’ve got the doomies.

Help is on the way…

Like staring at an email for an hour and making sure while I’m paralyzed with fear that I re read that email 100 more times until an hour passes and now I’ll never get a response because my client already went home for the day while I wasted away the day paralyzed from one phone call. #SendHelp

The constant paralysis is the hardest part of managing my ADHD. I finally picked up the phone today to make a dial as if my life depended on it. And…it only lasted for that one call. I end up making excuses on why I can’t make another. #adhd #analysisparalysis #executivedysfunction

Currently sleep sabotaging because nothing. There is no good reason aside from being gifted with this super power of not being able to sleep when you’re supposed to. #adhd #superpower

Every night before I go to bed I tell myself tomorrow is going to be the day I pick up the phone and call a potential client because it’s my job. And then I don’t because the fear of rejection sets in and then the cycle continues. #adhd #rsd #adhdrecruiting
