10:30pm I finally fall asleep. 11pm baby is UP. Full standing & screaming, I pick her up, she stops screams but starts kicking and punching me, not aggressively… but it is what is happening. 11:30pm. I have had enough I put her back in the crib. Now she is sleeping soundly and I’m wide awake..

Pleasure is resistance. But I can’t remember what pleasure feels like… I started slow, I drank water, then I did a 9 minute work out on supernatural w/ Raneir Pollard, then I took a bath and belted out Ani DiFranco and remembered what pleasure was.

If you have ADHD one of the most impactful things you can do is limit your tolerances. Those little annoyances that build up over the day. Make yourself as comfortable as possible so you can have the bandwidth for the fight ahead ❤️

First they came for the immigrants and I said something because I’ve read the rest of the poem.

Morning Bluesky ☕️ I was just about to do a little screaming into the abyss, but apparently, I've been put on hold.

Quick reminder as the holiday season fries our executive functioning that if you have ADHD, there is research that going into nature may help with ADHD symptoms.

Many of us with ADHD have Alexithymia, a condition that prevents us from noticing the escalation of our emotions and being able to identify our emotions. Lindsay Braman's Emotional Sensation Wheel is a great tool to work backwards to figure out the emotions.

If you have ADHD you have probably been told throughout your life what a problem your ADHD is in your relationships. The Gottman Institute has found that 69% of problems in ANY relationship are not solvable. So maybe some of our 69% of our problems come from our ADHD but we are also amazing!
