me, an autonomous adult in college: *looks up tips for managing adhd on a deadline*

every single result: AS A PARENT to help YOUR CHILD WITH ADHD monitor YOUR CHILD’S behavior and reward HIM for doing work because CHILDREN WITH ADHD need constant support-

I’m not even exaggerating.

YEP.

As far as I can guess, we’re supposed to either “grow out of it” and become perfect facsimiles of neurotypical people, or else assumed to be so impaired we’re incapable of living independently or using the internet. That we might be adults reading this shit doesn’t occur. The only people who actually talk about ADHD to people with ADHD are … people with ADHD.

Something I learned talking to other adults with adhd is to get into routines - but not like, wake up, exercise, breakfast, then work sort of routines; but more

Wake up to your phone on the other side of the room so you’re forced to get out of bed to grab it and do your morning scroll for social media

Have your meds in a visible area like in the fridge next to the milk or juice that you drink every morning or beside the coffee pot so you take them with your morning coffee

When you want to do homework, tidy your space, get a drink, put shoes on, then start work - do this every time until your brain registers the physicality of that routine of tidy, drink, shoes to equal ‘work now’

If you have a pet, feed them around the time you want to have dinner each night - that animal will register the routine and help you stick to it.

Want to remember something but apps, reminders, and notes don’t seem to work? Write them on your bathroom mirror or buy a whiteboard and stick it in your kitchen. And dont write in black - write in your favourite colours,or in multiple colours, and don’t deny yourself the chance to be silly with the whiteboard. If you designate it a work only space, you’ll never use it - so draw on it, write quotes on it, be silly with friends. The more you use your whiteboard, the more likely you are to read the important reminders on it. :)

People with ADHD need routine but neurotypical routines don’t work for us because a lot of NT routines inherently rely on having the executive function to get moving - we don’t have that. We need mental triggers to spark that, something that grounds us in the moment and helps spark the intention into productivity.

Also, hack for motivation to clean?

Set a timer. How many things can you clean up in the space of five minutes. Race that clock. Get free serotonin in beating a timer while also maintaining your space.

I don’t remember what wonderful person noticed this but since ADHD was thought of as a boys’ and young men’s problem for so long there was an expectation they’d grow out of it, and maybe the reason their symptoms seemed to vanish on adulthood was because adulthood coincided in most young men with getting married to a woman whose duties initially chiefly concerned organizing his life.

Since women and girls have only been getting the Dx for so long, there’s no track record indicating it doesn’t spontaneously resolve in most of the affected population.

Every time I rewatch breaking bad I’m completely STUNNED by how fast Walt resorts to cooking meth to pay his medical bills. He doesn’t try literally anything else before resorting to meth. He finds out he has cancer and then immediately contacts the first meth dealer he can find and is like “let’s be partners.” Like I cannot emphasize enough that cooking meth was Walter White’s FIRST resort, not his last. His old college friends even offer him an executive position at an immensely successful business he helped found so the health insurance would cover most of it and his pay would more than cover the rest, and he turns it down because he doesn’t want “handouts.” The story of breaking bad is about Walters descent into immorality and depravity but he really fucking hurtles off the diving board at the first chance he got and ignored the people throwing him life preserves.

I maintain that Breaking Bad isn’t about a guy who turns to crime because he can’t pay his medical bills; it’s about a guy who, faced with his own mortality, turns to crime because he’s dissatisfied with his milquetoast middle-class life. Having cancer is an excuse to be the asshole he’s always wanted to be.

i had this pointed out to me and i CANNOT stop thinking about it

so undertale’s 6th anniversary is coming up in a few days, so of the twitter page had its icon changed. it’s exactly the same as the 5th anniversary’s, but obviously with a 6 instead

here’s what’s killing me: someone, presumably toby fox, just opened up ms paint or something and drew over the 5.

and it’s a little hard to see unless you zoom in, but the artifacting is inconsistent too—in exactly the areas that were altered. so not only was the 6 drawn on, it was a drawn on over a LOW QUALITY version of the logo

INCREDIBLE.

I wanted to make more Hades fanart. The Nyx’s desing is honestly absolutely amazing.
