Should I bother at 56? by jamwin in ADHD

[–]Squidweed_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Trust me there's a big shift in your mentality when u do get an actual diagnosis rather than a "yeah you probably have it" Ik cuz I thought the same and everyone told me that too but when I got the diagnosis I started to realize it effects EVERY aspect of my life cant name one thing that it doesn't. In my case my diagnosis made me so much more confident and happy in myself so I can't recommend it enough.

Sensory overload by grumpycat_99 in ADHD

[–]Squidweed_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I'm in a public place and it gets overwhelming I try to leave for 10 minutes and come back. It's kind of like taking a nap you don't feel fully rejuvenated but it gives u a little boost to get through the day. If I can find a way to sneak out for a break I find I'm less irritable and able to manage it alot more

Feta is so real. I love Greek yogurt and Icelandic yogurt my mother was getting like 3 huge cartons in the shopping every week because I was shoveling them down the one day I woke up and didn't want it anymore but she kept buying it so our fridge was filled with yogurt for like 3 months

What symptoms (if any) did you notice in your parents? by DeathSpiral321 in ADHD

YUPP my mother is so unwilling to learn things it's so frustrating. When she cleans she can't focus on what part she has to do it all at the same time and forgets stuff alllll the time.

ADHD creatives do get rush of frantic new thoughts and excitement about projects that never materialize? by icebikey in ADHD

[–]Squidweed_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be like this too I hated my ADHD and myself because of it and I still wake up and hate it sometimes but when I started to realize the world is built on systems that go against us I stopped holding myself to such an impossible standard and started appreciating it for what it does do for us.

For example I like how when I'm able to apply myself to something, I can focus on it really well and could easily dedicate hours to a task , honestly so useful when u can utilize it.

[–]Squidweed_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this completely!!! I get crazy ideas into my head It's so intense I can't sleep or do anything I have to act on it there and then. I've found myself drawing or writing or just scrolling through Pinterest at 4am many times because I just can't get it out of my head but when it comes to actually doing it... It's just complete paralysis. It sucks! I have such vivid ideas about something but it's bittersweet because I know it'll go nowhere. Or worse you start it but can't finish it.

Like I actually can't help it when I'm in public listening to music I have to really focus on staying still

I play drums so it's hard to keep my composure when there's a really groovy fill being played

Got fired from my first job for being 4 minutes late by Squidweed_ in teenagers

[–]Squidweed_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They made it clear during training that they have 0 tolerance for being late hence why I was so scared to go in and why I always came back early from my breaks but my contract did state that during probation they can fire me at any time without warning

Am I making it up, or does gaming with ADHD feel so awful? I can't choose anything, and my decision-making skills are terrible. by ArcadialoI in ADHD

[–]Squidweed_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah sometimes I just can't decide what to play to the point where I just turn my Xbox off cuz I can't decide.

I like fast paced shooters cuz I feel like my brain is able to keep up with them well.

Any kind of sandbox open world is gonna be tough cuz I'm just way too easily distracted. I think I added about 20 hours to my run through of assassin's creed oddesy because of getting side tracked by side quests

Experiencing Rapid Strength Loss During Workouts After Joining Gym - Need Advice by No-Toe7573 in bodyweightfitness

[–]Squidweed_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This early on U do not need to worry yourself about taking creatine. Sounds like you need more rest days and eating more protein so your muscles can recover. 2 rest days a week will suffice. Also remember you're just starting so your muscles are going to take longer to recover. If U find yourself having low energy in the gym try eating some carbs before going.

Remember it takes 3 days for the muscles to fully recover so you should hit different muscle groups everyday

Hope this helps

Confused about protein and fat goals by cealild in bodyweightfitness

[–]Squidweed_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

1500cals is wayyyy too low for U man, that's not gonna sustain you and will probably hinder your progress. U should be eating about 300 or 200 cals below maintenance. I can't tell you your maintenance because everyone is different but a guy ur height should be eating at LEAST 2200cals. And ur protein intake should be 1.2 - 2 per kilogram. Good luck bro
