Today I Thunk

Decanting my thoughts onto paper as soon as I can because there are too many and I *will* forget them all in a minute.

Having the internet on your smartphone, and thus the world in your pocket. Fun fact, just like a TV was called doordarshan in Hindi, it's called a Fernseher in Deutsch (that which allows you to see something that's far away)

Demand avoidance, rejection sensitivity, and working yourself to exhaustion to get some rest.

A flurry of gatherings that end abruptly because the calendar says it should. Why do I have to balance my life to fit work?

Being constantly tired and yet not being able to sleep, and how a surprising (but an everyday) phenomenon interferes with my getting enough rest in a day.

Join me and a pack of arguing dogs downstairs to discuss the need to keep everything I ever liked on me. And take a lesson from Elsa.

High speed internet in the palm of your hands is a fantastic tool for an ADHD brain to self-regulate. ..until the ADHD gets to you.

Not literally, but it's 2025. Take you energy back.

Tactile defensiveness, and feeling guilty over washing hands more than average.

When human relationships freeze and stay fresh forever for you, but have been tossed out after a clean up for the other person.

Sorry, I'm still snickering at the episode title xD Hi my dehydrated besties! If you're anything like me and also grew up asking for permission to have water in school, you need to learn to tell when your body needs water.

Meetings are annoying in general. But meetings in the second half of the day become downright painful because I never have the right number of spoons to deal well with them.

A third person look at a life gone by, and how growing older - something we're taught to dread - is something that makes me happy.

What stimming is, and how it helps. Did not remember to put fidget toys in the episode, so here it is in the description instead.

There will always be more days to seize. Let's get out of survival mode first.

Jumping to conclusions, and other adventures.

Stimulants and the ADHD brain

Getting the medical attention that neurodivergent folks need is rarely as simple as getting to the doc's, filling a prescription and being on your way. I have many stories, here's a couple.

Yes, smiling takes fewer muscles than frowning but who said I have the energy to activate even those?

Life is hard, and sometimes your senses make it harder by being hypersensitive.

"How are you" and they continue to walk. Navigating conversation and detaching self worth from how much I can entertain you.

A shallow dive into how I am learning to translate motivational quotes from the lens of being neurodivergent.
