  • I feel i am escaping this with only 1 bingo based on technicalities and coping mechanisms…

    • the lost keys were in my pocket because my hands re full…
    • I’m not awake and productive at 2 am anymore because sleep deprivation is killing me. So now I’m awake and unproductive.
    • I don’t do daily lists, i do task specific breakdowns; but i do have an alarm to remind me to eat lunch.
    • password manager👌
    • thermal mugs 👌



  • I recently did something like this….

    I was diagnosed as a young child. I don’t remember an assessment and was never medicated. The coping mechanisms I was taught growing up were not contextualized as “for ADHD” they were just “the way things had to be done to get things done” As I grew into adulthood, I chocked up the behavioral differences to just the way different folks from different families learn to do things differently. Living as an normie, I started to question/forget my diagnosis.

    So there I am, rediscovering that I might have ADHD as an adult from memes on the internet. When I mentioned it to my folks my mum emphatically reminded me that I absolutely had an official diagnosis X0 some years ago.
