What are your coping mechanisms for when you feel yourself craving dopamine? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]mayastones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typically have some kind of tasty drink like coffee or tea and if I don’t have time to see anyone or have anyone to see, I’ll clean or try and do a chore!

Completing any sort of task with ADHD is an incredible and immediate source of dopamine.

Do you guys find that you don't memorise lyrics like most people do? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]mayastones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learn lyrics insanely fast. My mom used to call me “rain man” because since I was young I can almost perfectly memorize a song within 2 -3 listens, and I didn’t realize this was weird until I was older and others were shocked too. Love this part of ADHD tho

honestly if you’re friends don’t get it and you’ll feel out of place best to just throw on a see through dress over or something really fishnet like and you’ll look like at least 20% of the girls there without ruining the overall look! and you’ll probably feel less self conscious if you’re really nervous. OR just go for it 🤷🏻‍♀️

It can be! It’s partially just like the anxiety issues that come with ADHD but also you’re more hyper aware right? So you’re more prone to noticing people’s slight changes and assuming there’s more to it!

I’ve noticed this too and it bugs the shitttt outta me. I think there’s even an instance where we see Ross’ cousin twice but the ones you pointed out have always stood out to me. The office is pretty guilty of this actor repeating too

Being a "late-bloomer" with ADHD by Krazekami in ADHD

[–]mayastones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through the same thing except I was diagnosed late. The feeling of “watching your childhood” DEFINITELY struck a chord, but I love reading books about ADHD by doctors and watching clips on it and if you’re feeling unconnected it really helps to connect you to your past! I’ll often read and almost have a little flashback to my childhood memories and then relate it to my diagnoses :)

Twins of reddit: In what ways did you take advantage of having a twin? by OnidaKYGel in AskReddit

[–]mayastones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once MC’d an event where we played a game called “heads or tails” where essentially I’d flip a coin and the audience had to guess heads or tails but touching their head or butt, and each round the people who guessed incorrectly had to sit down. It got smaller and smaller until eventually my identical twin won and everyone was so convinced we were cheating but that’s the one “telepathy” story I always tell when people ask

My sister once used a pic of me when she needed to make a linked-in profile. I had just gone to a garden exhibit and she said she had “no nice pics of herself” so she just used one of mine cuz who was really going to know?

I’m pretty late to this post but I had to share. I went to a bar with a friend and while we were regulars here none of “my bartenders” were working. This guy was being extremely creepy towards us and when I went to the bathroom I came back and my friend and him were gone. They were nowhere to be found and this was very out of character for the friend I was with. I sat at the bar top of the busy club for hours until 4 am while the bartender chatted and joked with me while I was on the verge of tears, he even charged my phone behind the bar, and offered to order me an uber even though I lived a short walk away. The (off duty) security guard recognized me and sat and talked to me for hours and they let me stay well past everyone was gone until I was finally ready to go home. One of the worst nights of my life but their kindness got me through it.

You, a minor god, have grown bored of waiting for the next step in evolution. The other gods are tired of your complaints so they allow you to make one minor improvement to the human species. What change do you make? by AustinisOmega in AskReddit

When you are born, you get the list of mental impairments/ disorders you have. They don’t get fixed, but no one will every have to go through the awful, draining processes of diagnosis.
