Living with diagnosised ADHD:-
well hey! Yeah I am diagnosed with ADHD inattentive which is more of the “girls” diagnosis type….
so what’s it like?!
well picture this… your friend is on the phone to someone you don’t know and they discuss something like ummm covid testing spot… there both like “yeah I don’t know of a spot…” you don’t even think twice and say hey I know where a testing spot is it’s at such and such… your brain goes “yeah I just helped out I’m so proud” meanwhile your friend is most likely very pissed… firstly they weren’t talking to you and didn’t even ask you so you kinda butted in… and rudely…
well that’s one example…
Then another:- puts a cup in the sink… I will wash it up later… next day gets another cup oh I will wash both cups later… later doesn’t necessarily happen
another example:- brain “yum 100 and thousand biscuit” it’s in the cupboard opens it up and walks away without closing it… stays open until “bang” either you or someone else bangs there head
another example:- I want that new coffee machine… can’t stop looking at it… trolls online for hours on end… finally you get it…
yet another example:- oh run out of milk, will go get some… drives down… buys a whole bunch of other stuff but the “dam” milk…!!!!
want another example?!:- brain “I gotta clean out the car” phone rings it’s your mate… brain goes “well let’s talk and clean at the same time…” concentration on talking on the phone and BANG there goes your head banging into the car door cause you weren’t concentrating
medication helps reduce these type problems for some people the medications help a lot, some they don’t feel it helps them at all
better “fly off” cold and wet… animals to be fed better grab that snow jacket ah… wait which one as you bought 6 just incase 🤦♀️
