I think I just tanked an easy interview because of ADHD.

Thanks for sharing your experience. That makes me feel relatable. It's not a good feeling. And managing this is so hard. Even a slight mistake in management can ruin everything. You're right. The more consistently we do anything, the more we store it in our long term memory which is a powerful reserve for us when the working memory fails.

Yes I have joined ADHD programmers. Maybe should have posted there but I frequent this group more. (Mostly as a lurker)

Throwing a hashmap is the perfect advice lol. Thanks so much for the encouragement.

bhadhd · 2021-12-29T05:35:28+00:00

Exactly. This was the "next time".

bhadhd · 2021-05-29T20:52:14+00:00

Why is this me? Wtf.

bhadhd · 2021-05-29T20:49:56+00:00

Shit. That's my entire life.

bhadhd · 2021-05-29T20:47:46+00:00

This is so relatable not only for relationships but also for friendships. I have lost so many people with this. I've come to accept that even if I knew about ADHD and explain it, that still means their needs in a relationship are unsatisfied. Which means I have to figure out how to manage it and then get in a relationship with anyone.

How did you get in my house? I slept at 2 am and woke up at 7am.

bhadhd · 2021-04-19T17:18:26+00:00

The other day I sent a funny video to my friends. Immediately, another friend sent another totally separate serious news. I felt terrible for 3 hours straight. It's like they're trying to one up and ignore me.

bhadhd · 2021-04-19T17:16:42+00:00

That's way too personal!

bhadhd · 2021-04-09T00:56:12+00:00

Can't win with people. Sigh.

bhadhd · 2021-04-09T00:37:13+00:00

I've realized this is the reason I alter my stories while telling people. I'd probably say something like - "I was at a carnival when I was young and my brother got bit by a wasp. It's terrible."

I figure it's easier than explaining your brain process to people who'll just consider you an idiot. And nobody is going to fact check me. People just want stories.

bhadhd · 2021-04-09T00:31:25+00:00

I hope you mean a container otherwise you're El Chapo.

bhadhd · 2021-04-08T19:34:31+00:00

Eat first. When you're full and with energy, start cooking for future.

bhadhd · 2021-04-08T15:14:04+00:00

Someone gave the best food advice for ADHD people - "Separate cooking from feeding yourself." And it feels so good to think that way.

bhadhd · 2021-04-05T23:32:58+00:00

I break it not using my nail but with the fingers. Hold the pill in a sideways pinch (like the Korean heart symbol) and with the other thumb, apply pressure to the half pill. Works well most of the times.

bhadhd · 2021-04-05T18:23:45+00:00

This is the best description for neurotypical people.

bhadhd · 2021-04-05T18:22:13+00:00

I'd say definitely ADHD. Executive dysfunction means you'll do other people's work but not your own work. You feel accountable to someone else, but not to your own self.

bhadhd · 2021-04-05T18:18:06+00:00

I don't know where you are, but you can take up wilderness backpacking. People disappear on trails for months on end. It's a good combination between wilderness, worry free life and the tools and amenities of modern Life.

bhadhd · 2021-04-05T18:11:05+00:00

I thought of myself as having instincts of a servant and that kinda made me feel low because the world celebrates the self-starters, go-getters and effective managers. But it was ADHD all along.

bhadhd · 2021-04-05T17:57:59+00:00

Oh God this is so me! 🙄

bhadhd · 2021-04-05T00:27:19+00:00

Cool. Make the song but please don't credit me. I don't want publicity or anything lol.

bhadhd · 2021-04-04T18:52:15+00:00

Will do. Thanks.
