Great post, but I did get thrown for a loop with the word placeboing, which of course I read as place-boing…

Goblin.tools is the best! Are the best?

Watch out for sodium levels with this, deli anything usually has elevated levels of sodium which can be devastating in cats
Yeah, unfortunately meds don’t fix ADHD. They’re a treatment, not a cure. Meds are supposed to be used in conjunction with other treatments (such as therapy, as an example) to be most effective. I know, it sucks, but these are the cards we’ve been dealt.
Bold of you to assume I’d read or even see that note…
Huh. That’s a good point, I should do something about the hot house I live in. Probably easier doing that than relocating my meds to a different place where I’m guaranteed to never find them again
I mean, they’re two different things, so I would think a separate diagnosis wouldn’t hurt.
On a side note, my therapist told me that she has never met or worked with a single ASD patient who wasn’t also ADHD, so take from that what you will.
Interesting. Ymmv, I guess
You probably already know this, but if you’re watching ticket prices, try to check from a different phone or laptop each time. As in, check with your phone one day, your computer the next week, and while you’re at work the week after. Something about ISP tracking or something means that prices can go up if the site knows you’re watching, but if you’re looking from a different location each time, to the website you look like a different person, so the price won’t inflate as quickly.
Stray is an awesome game that’s easy to learn, fun, and really beautiful. Makes for a great starter game
WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU CROSS A SNOWMAN WITH A VAMPIRE?
FROSTBITE!!
I have literally never balanced a cheque book in my life and I’m 40. I’ve never even seen one, let alone have any idea what to do with it. Is it an actual physical thing? Or is that a euphemism for budgeting?
What a cutie!! And congrats on successfully teaching her tricks, I wasn’t ever able to do that with mine
Hmm. It’s not silicone free, though, and seems to react with hair dye, so maybe use with caution.
If you’re sensitive or are allergic to SLS, ysk that it’s in damn near everything - not just toothpaste and cleaning supplies, but also laundry detergent, soap, face and body wash, shaving cream, and bubble bath. It also goes by a plethora of other names, so that’s fun.
Some would smell bad; some people have nasty hygiene, so you know their tails would be gross and covered with shit all the time
Bonus points if there’s pie
I don’t think that ADHD “gets better” when people grow up. I think that life and circumstances change, and change affects ADHD. But this is a problem with neurodevelopment and brain chemistry, it doesn’t magically go away.
That being said, it sounds to me like you might not be medicated. That’s ok, if that’s your choice, but know that medication is the single most effective treatment for ADHD that exists right now. On its own, it’s not enough, but without it, shit gets real. Dr. Barkley has some great informative videos that really help to explain how ADHD works in our brains, and the role of medication. So. In that regard, I suggest you reach out to your doctor.
Smaller things that might help though, I always find that if I really need to concentrate, or if I really need to get something done, voices distract me (podcasts, videos, anything where someone is talking). So, I will listen to music instead, particularly music without lyrics. Lo-fi works well for this for me, or piano music, or whatever. I just try to keep the lyrics (voices) to a minimum, and it seems to help.
Something else that helps when I really need to focus is a fidget toy in one hand (give your mind monkey a banana) while I read/learn/concentrate. It’s such a small thing, but it helps SO MUCH!
Good luck, hopefully these work for you!
Clowns are terrifying enough on their own, but now I need to worry about a textile clown too?!
Haha love it!
