It's really tiring to just exist inside your own head.

I've described it before as a box filled with a bunch of bouncy balls just bouncing off on every direction, off the walls, ceiling and floor, all the time. Every one of those balls is a thought, it's really hard to hold onto just one, it's hard to keep one once you've caught it.

When I'm resting usually I just put in some youtube video/TV show/audio book and play some mindless game for a while. On the outside it looks like it just played solitaire for 3 hours straight, but on the inside I'm just trying to follow one line of thought while keeping the rest of my brain occupied and quiet for a second.

We have excess focus just no control over its direction.

Sorry what were you saying? I was busy thinking of what I would do if gravity reversed.

It doesn’t manifest exactly the same in everyone with ADHD

The amount of misinformation that's out there about it.

Around 50% of TikToks about ADHD are misleading. I feel like we can expect similar results in other social media.

Thriving on chaos.

Feeling the calmest when in a tempest.

When there are no more spoons, you need to just go to bed.

No, you don't have ADHD just because you get bored sometimes.
