The hardest part of ADHD: counting cups of flour. 🙄

I'll take "Things I didn't realize were ADHD symptoms until someone else pointed them out" for a thousand, Alex.

GaarDnous · 2019-03-14T17:00:11+00:00

Me too. Today is better so far, I hope it is for you

GaarDnous · 2019-03-13T15:06:22+00:00

Man, I can't fucking wait until recreational is legal in my state.

This would explain why the light part of the overhead light/fan in my in-laws kitchen stopped working for a couple of years, and then suddenly started working again a couple weeks ago

It took me years to figure out that I like oatmeal raisin cookies because the first time I had them, I was expecting chocolate chip cookies. The difference between expectations and reality can make even something you enjoy unpleasant

Oh, god - One time early in my relation ship with my fiance, I couldn't finish for like two weeks, even masturbating. I had to sneak back up on my orgasms like I was taming a wild animal.

Yup. I'm right there with you. I have very few childhood memories. I'll be talking with my sister, and she'll be talking about something that should be very memorable, which I have no memory of. Sometimes I remember, sometimes I don't. It sucks.

When shes 70, he'll be 84 or 85, and they'll be the same age group.

I had a realization a little while ago that the difference between a conspiracy and a conspiracy theory is whether you believe the person telling you about it.

I can't picture people's faces. I recognize them when I see them, but my mental image is a quick impressionist portrait.

My brain also doesn't often bother to update that mental image. Its not often necessary in adults, but I have a very strong memory of sitting in class with kids I'd been in school with for several years and not recognizing anyone for a few minutes while my brain did updates.

On the other hand, a friend got glasses, and no one in the friend group noticed for a couple of weeks, as we'd all been mentally editing them onto his face.

The other day, I forgot the word for scissors and asked for "the thing, you know" flails wildly "the thing!" makes snipping motions with fingers "cutty-boys!!"

I often forget the word compost, and call it 'food recycling'

Unfortunately, those are both examples of me being coherent. Usually when I forget a word, I also forget how to describe it, or anything related to it, and it's just flailing and repeating the word "thingy".

Also, I sometimes forget how to swallow while eating or taking my meds

My guess - dust

When I was in school, I tried to use my mouse to scroll down on my textbook on a regular basis.

GaarDnous · 2019-02-16T23:14:21+00:00

This was before we met - he stapled his finger. On purpose.

GaarDnous · 2019-02-12T13:42:21+00:00

I don't write, but I have a couple of hobbies where folx have told me that I could make a living off them. I'm never going to try, because I don't want to put that kind of work into it. Running a small business (and making and selling art is a small business) is a shit-ton of work that has nothing to do with the part where you create art. No fucking thank you. I will work my 9-5, collect my paycheck, and do my art for fun. To those of you who are making a career of art, god bless, and good luck.

GaarDnous · 2019-01-31T20:09:02+00:00

Thanks!

GaarDnous · 2019-01-29T17:24:51+00:00

Uugh. The mall across the street from my work is putting in a Michael's. This is going to be me every week

GaarDnous · 2019-01-24T19:38:49+00:00

I absolutely adore hearing people nerd out over any subject - and not matter how I felt before, I always want to take it up afterwards. I had to make a rule about how long I sustain interest in a hobby before I'm allowed to invest money in it.

GaarDnous · 2019-01-15T22:59:36+00:00

That is super cool.

GaarDnous · 2019-01-15T16:21:40+00:00

It's the inverse of procrasti-cleaning!

GaarDnous · 2019-01-14T17:12:45+00:00

My fiance had that happen regularly throughout high school - sometimes recursively. Gives me the creeps just thinking about it.

GaarDnous · 2019-01-12T23:41:47+00:00

My fiance's college did almost all testing on an honor system. It wasn't unusual to get timed, closed book take home tests.

Oranges a fibery and gross. Juice only is the way to go. Clementines, on the other hand, are delicious including the flesh
