"I can't have ADHD. I can sit still for a very long time."
Literally my parents. And teachers. I was "such a quiet kid" who did well in school. Never mind the fact that I would chatter to my parents and brother to the point where they'd actually get rather upset with me interrupting everything.
Turns out I excelled on tests solely because it was quiet. The doodling and daydreaming I did managed to keep just enough information flowing into my brain that when it came to tests, I just worked through them like puzzles.
I remember classes after I started taking Ritalin in highschool. Holy crap. I actually remembered learning. It was incredible. I didn't have to figure out things on my own. Tests were even easier because I had the answers beforehand.
Really feeling myself seen in this. I didn't get diagnosed until this year and I'm 41. I did texts just like you and I excelled at school until college hit me like a brick wall. Puzzling through tests got a lot harder when you have to write answers that demonstrate your knowledge of the material I never read. I would procrastinate so hard that I would set an alarm for 3AM the day a paper was due at 9AM and write it in those six hours.
BUT, that skill of working through tests like a puzzle is a good one to have. I've never heard it put that way but you're exactly right in calling it like that.
Right now there's no regular work in my job, but you can go online and take classes from the parent company and get paid. I picked one that I will literally never have to know anything about, which was estimated at 8 hours. I skimmed the material for half an hour then puzzled through the four tests in half an hour. One hour for eight hours pay. Yeah I can do that.
Meanwhile I'm trying to get diagnosed as an adult but because I got good grades as a kid and didn't actively commit crimes all the time I'm being told that it's impossible that I have ADHD
It's so frustrating
Yep, I have a successful career and had... Ehh ok grades and I graduated college and everything.
The problem was I was basically in overdrive all the time and miserable just to get everything done.
I finally got a diagnosis. It's a lot easier than in the past. They tested me years ago and basically said I am very intelligent I'm just lazy.
Getting meds has been a challenge though. Not sure when that will happen for me...
didn’t actively commit crimes all the time
nah my friend you "didn't get caught" next time they ask.
An ADHD diagnosis as an adult is hard. If it's impacting work (which if you have ADHD I don't see how it couldn't), your best bet is starting off with a licensed therapist. They can at least help you get things started, and help get you a recommendation to a psychiatrist. If the current clamp down on ADHD meds is any indication, it probably will have to be a specialized psychiatrist to get you diagnosed.
One of the things about ADHD is that the symptoms are life long, so there would be some indication that you had it as a kid. Your parents and siblings or close cousins are your best bet on that. You don't want to fish for the information, but get a general idea of what they know. It will help in your diagnosis, or at least get you into testing.
This is normal, it just means your controller is afk
Hopefully they switched controllers with someone else, because my player has really sucked lately.
He's gone down to the newsagents to find a strategy guide magazine
Oh thank fuck I was worried I broke or something
This is why I need familiar music playing when I'm getting ready. I have no clue how much time is passing but I can intuit it based on part of the album I'm on.
Really? I should try this.
Totally, it's been my strategy for as long as it's been possible. I'm pretty in tune with my library and music is ever-present in my subconscious so it's a perfect for me. YMMV.
I time my showers like that. Average 7 minutes
7 minutes!? But it's so warm in there and so cold out here.
I do this too! I otherwise don't listed to music at all, but when I need to be somewhere, it's the best way to keep track of time
adhd gang
No is the brain booting up
big ol' bowl of reboot loops every morning, and then randomly during the day.
What's wild is that it's anything but quiet up there.
I get quiet sometimes, but I never know if that's because they thoughts stop talking, or if I'm just taking off my headphones and not listening.
at some point my brain decided I needed a soundtrack, so at least my inner chatter is usually music. i feel very fortunate.
I got a lot of thoughts, takes over the whole machine sometimes
I thought this just meant I was an NPC and there wasn't anything I needed to be doing that would eventually impact the Main Character. er... which one of us is the Main Character, btw?
Y'all are doing this in the upright position? Try fetal and become a pro.
Just don't get out of bed for a while every morning. It helps to think about all of the things that are going wrong in the world.
I have such a hard time when I need to stop doing one thing and start doing another, especially when that requires traveling somewhere. This gets me in trouble fairly often.
For real. It's so annoying. I'll waste more time by procrastinating than it actually takes to do the thing. Every switch costs so much energy
Yeah reformatting takes time
Staring at the wall replaces the need for a coffee fr
but I'll be more productive without coffee.
Yeah...
