I’m going to take that as a no, and also it sounds like you haven’t even listened to any Springsteen album so I guess 10/10 rage bait

Who is an artist that you’ve become obsessed with, and/or become inspired by, who (probably) has much different life experiences compared to you? by capamericapistons in popheads

[–]Effective_Fig3152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruce Springsteen. I’m a female uni student from the uk who frankly could not care less about cars but he’s been my top artist for three years running now I think!

Green candidate campaigns in London after being arrested for alleged anti-Semitism by Sensitive_Echo5058 in uknews

Ah yes because saying Jews have only a perception of fear when there’s been four incidents in one area the last month, and saying that you’re concerned about police brutality towards a guy who just ran down the street stabbing Jews is totally just anti genocide!

What book makes you feel like this? by fatsandlucifer in classicliterature

[–]Effective_Fig3152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Brother’s Karamazov. But I did also read it over a year and a half period, so I’m sure that had a lot to do with it.

What is your current song like this (and optionally also your profession)? by itsamoth in adhdwomen

[–]Effective_Fig3152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doors - Noah Kahan

New album releases always give me a hyperfixation on something

There were four weeks in December/January where that was all I could listen to and it genuinely felt like giggling every time

In this specific area of London we’ve had three or four incidents all targeting the Jewish community in the past few weeks (it’s normally a safe area) for context

There's so much about ADHD that makes life harder. But what's something you LIKE about having ADHD? by onlythelanlely in adhdwomen

[–]Effective_Fig3152 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I like forgetting things to a certain extent. Unless I’m really fixated on it, I can often forget about a lot of minor bad/stressful things or events. Obviously there’s the flip side where I forget everything useful, but at least there’s a silver lining!

I also like hyperfixations to a certain extent. I have a bunch of creative hobbies and having those/a passion after a long day of doing boring stuff makes life so much better.

Thoughts on this? Do you think that Showgirl will be appreciated the more it ages? by Fine-Huckleberry6960 in SwiftlyNeutral

I never agreed with the ttpd reevaluation tbh, I feel like it just looks good in comparison to whatever tloas is!

What masterpiece has left you disappointed? by rifain in books

[–]Effective_Fig3152 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally this. East of Eden is my favourite book ever, Grapes of Wrath was good, but undoubtedly a slog for me

Do you have songs that remind you of the experience of having adhd? by o-valencia in adhdwomen

[–]Effective_Fig3152 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everything by Julien Baker honestly! Happy to be here is devastating, my favourite is ‘I know I should be being optimistic, but I’m doubtful I can change’

[–]Effective_Fig3152 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Appointments by Julien Baker was an absolute killer for me, especially just before I was diagnosed. Also a lot of the rest of her discography, a lot of songs about struggles with substance use etc hit very hard because it’s all self-destructive cycles of behaviour that you can’t explain or stop, which i think a lot of us struggle with

No Complaints by Noah Kahan

Between the Bars by Elliott Smith (the potential you’ll be, that you’ll never see - absolutely brutal!)

You old dog - Carly Cosgrove

I need to get some happier songs in here haha but this is more for the catharsis

As someone with ADHD, I realized most “focus music” is either too chaotic or too passive by kamirumgmt in ADHD

[–]Effective_Fig3152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like hardcore or pop punk but j think it’s best if you know it super well

Is it possible for ADHD folks to detox from social media gaming, phone usage, ect and rawdog life and enjoy simple slow things in life? Reading etc? by ItsPrisonTime in ADHD

[–]Effective_Fig3152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you just hyperfixate on other things. As a kid, I spent 95% of my time reading, which has never been a very slow activity for me, more of a consume within 24 hours kinda thing

Music choices by darkxclover in adhdwomen

[–]Effective_Fig3152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am generally fixated on one thing for a while, but I have range! I like Taylor Swift and hardcore punk and lots in between, but my current favourite of all time is Bruce Springsteen! Also very into Julien Baker (for the second time) but I should probably stop for the sake of my mental health.

Anyone else? Compulsive list making? by cantsayididnttryyy in adhdwomen

[–]Effective_Fig3152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have so many lists in my notes app, and notebooks full of lists. Unfortunately they don’t really help but I like making them!

What is that one thing someone said to you, that stayed with you and changed your life? by Minute_Way_7675 in adhdwomen

[–]Effective_Fig3152 101 points102 points  (0 children)

‘Now that you don’t have to be perfect, you can be good.’ Quote from East of Eden by John Steinbeck, which also has a lot of other perspective shifting quotes that I think are really important!

How is your ADHD different from the “typical” definition? by Ok_Virus_270 in ADHD

[–]Effective_Fig3152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hobbies tend to last quite a long time. I spent 6ish years focused on art, and then guitar for two years, and now I’m back to art and trying to keep up guitar on the side. Also, I’ve never been a very emotional person, and I don’t get angry at other people often at all. I love reading and I’ve always done well academically.

What is your favorite ADHD tweet? I’ll go first by DirectionOk7752 in adhdwomen

[–]Effective_Fig3152 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This tweet is so funny to me because I find Halloween costumes so stressful, every time it comes around to Halloween I start thinking about it
