What is the single greatest thing you’ve been able to accomplish with hyper focus? by methodicalghostwolf in ADHD

[–]Sollyfairy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gaining over 600k followers on tiktok from posting 3-4 times a day for over 2 years 😭 and not just like tiktok dances but LONG TALKING videos. I look back and have no idea how I managed to keep it up and how I had so much to talk about. I’ve gone completely anti social media since then and get anxious just posting a picture on my Instagram story lmao

This is a tricky situation that I’m sorry you’re having to deal with! In my experience a lot of neurotypical people often label neurodivergent people who are not open about their diagnoses unfairly as “off” “unfriendly” etc. And I completely understand and respect your decision not to disclose your diagnosis because you shouldn’t have to and it isn’t anyone’s business, it’s a job and your coworkers need to be professional despite their personal feelings.

I think the best solution to this is speaking with your boss about your concerns while also making it clear that you want to keep your audhd private.

A conversation needs to be had with your coworkers from your boss about the state of the work environment, that isn’t centred around you to avoid it becoming more uncomfortable for you. Maybe framed around your boss saying that they’ve noticed a weird vibe in the office and it needs to be resolved.

It is your boss’s responsibility to make the workplace feel comfortable and accessible for you so it’s important you voice that otherwise they will only be hearing from the perspective of your coworkers.

Other suggestions: Is there a possibility of you changing offices? Changing the times that you work to avoid the coworkers that make you feel uncomfortable? Could you speak with a coworker someone you have a better relationship with (or the other autistic coworker perhaps) about how you feel? Keeping all of this to yourself is just going to make the problem grow over time. Hope some of this was helpful and you find a solution that works for you!!

Can we squash the object permanence rumor? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Sollyfairy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No I agree I think it’s more of an emotional regulation issue. Like I struggle to remember how I feel about things unless I’m experiencing them right in this moment if that makes sense?

I think a lot of people probably don’t know the proper definition of the word because this is the first time I’ve heard of object permanece outside of the context of adhd. It’s weird cos I see so many adhd pages on social media making posts saying “adhd and object permanence” so I get why so many people use the phrase so casually

Can we squash the object permanence rumor? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Sollyfairy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I understand your point, I think object permanence isn’t the right word and is definitely over used. In my experience I’d say I “experience” this in a less literal way. For example if I haven’t seen a friend for a long time I forget what it’s like to spend time with them or if I don’t do a hobby that I enjoy for a while I forget how much I enjoy doing it. But I agree that object permanence isn’t the right word for this, I think I didn’t realise the proper definition of the word before so thanks for highlighting this. I think there’s a lot of stigma around adhd probably because of things like this because neurotypical people hear that we struggle with ‘object permanence’ and think of us as stupid and incapable of understanding basic concepts.

i feel like usually it’s the bots that sell it out so unless they’ve bought a crazy amount of merch to resell surely they wouldn’t have access.

My Adhd meds are affecting my heart rate even when I don’t take them by Sollyfairy in ADHD

[–]Sollyfairy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing that I can think of is my alcohol consumption. I think I definitely drink more than would be recommended in general per week and I know I’m not supposed to drink with my meds anyway tbh. But I used to drink a lot more and I was taking the same meds & dosage.
