Hey! So I got the patch notes for ADHD here.
Okay, great! Let's hear it!
Excellent! So your attention span got nerfed.
Again?- Oh, shiny button!
Your emotional dysregulation got buffed.
By how much?!
10 XP
UGHGHGHG
Ah! But on the bright side though, your ability to cause chaos got buffed by 10 points!
*gasp*
CHAOS
Well guess what? I already did.
Why do you always do that thing?
Do what?
That thing you do when you're fighting.

***Trigger Warning Mentions of Eating Disorders*** If you have ADHD, I have a question for you.
Do you ever sit down with a snack you like, like cookies or a bag of chips,
and then suddenly you look down and the whole thing has just disappeared?
*magic*
So the holidays are coming up and for many families holidays means lots of food.
And so today I want to talk about ADHD and overeating.
Did you know that over-eating is a very common sort of side effect of ADHD?
It's a really common issue.
And they've studied it a lot.
And it makes a lot of sense when you think about it.
When we eat something we like it releases dopamine and serotonin, which is the thing our brain is constantly seeking.
So it's totally logical for our brain to make the leap of 'If I eat more, I will feel better'
Until you don't.
Disordered eating, especially binge-eating on things like carbs and sugar is really common in people with ADHD.
In fact, some studies indicate that people with ADHD are about 3x more likely to develop an eating disorder.
Now, eating disorders can result in a lot of health problems.
For many people the shame and guilt is the hardest part so I'm just here to tell you, you are not alone.
Hey, have you seen my keys?- Oh , are you playing video games?
Yeah I got the new Call Of Duty and I'm also playing Runescape because one's the grind and the other's the *grind*.
Oh I totally feel you. You know I've been- I need to get back to playing Legend of Zelda. I really miss playing those games.
Ah dude, I like it but it's a little too slow of me. I need a little more fast-paced.
That's why I got both of these going at the same time.
By the way, so sorry my laundry's not done yet. I had it, I started- I got lost.
Oh you're totally fine. I haven't even done my chores for today too.
Instead this morning I did my body weight workout this morning.
Oh, have you done another workout today because I need to do some weights.
Yeah, I'm going to do my weightlifting workout in the afternoon, you should join me.
You know what? Honestly I got a lot going right now.
I'd like to do it but I'm going to have to see if I can or can't.
Oh that's totally fine. I think I have a bunch of other things to do.
But honestly all of this is making me hungry. I should get Chipotle. You want some Chipotle?
Oh, I'd love some Chipotle.
You know what? I'm going to get us some Chipotle.
Thanks so much.
Where are my keys?
Why is it so difficult maintaining day-to-day tasks when you your to-do list?
I can show you using your to-do list. Do you have everything written out in order?
Yes.
Perfect. So we're going to ahead and tear around each item though.
So each of your tasks is now a square. We're doing to go ahead and put those in a bag and shuffle that.
Oh okay, so you just do things at random.
Yeah, no. If only it were that easy.
So we're going to take a blank piece of paper now and do the same thing.
These will stay blank. These are just like all the times when you cant get anything done.
When you get nothing done.
Shake that up.
That was a lot of white paper.
Almost done. Okay so one more piece of paper. We're just going to make some blue marks on this one.
THese ones with the blue marks, they're going to indicate hyperfocus.
So you're just going to go ahead and pull another one afterwards and you're going to spend about 12 hours just doing that.
Even if it's blank.
But like what happens if I hyperfocus on a blank one?
Well if it's blank the you'll spend about 12 hours doing nothing in a paralyzed state probably going down a deep rabbit hole in your mind.
SO, anyway here's you day. Give it a good shuffle.
Good luck!
Hi, this is just your monthly reminder that if you're a person who gets a period and you have ADHD that your ADHD is in fact affected by your period.
Because when the levels of estrogen in your body are lower so are your levels of dopamine and serotonin.
You know the chemicals that are responsible regulating your attention and your mood and your executive function.
I know, my doctor didn't tell me either.
That's why I do these little PSA's once a month, because it kinda feels like something they should include in the brochure your know what I mean?
Anyway, have a great day.
If you are friends with somebody who has ADHD I desperately need you to watch this video.
Please stop asking people who have ADHD,
"What are you tired from?" or "What are you tired doing?"
Simply because you haven't perceived them to have spent time doing something worth being tired from.
Y'all don't understand the constant mental turmoil that is constantly going on up here.
Our brain doesn't have a shut off button.
There's no shut off valve, there's no kill switch,
You put the key in the ignition, you turn the engine over, and it never stops turning over.
And having to deal with that 24/7, including when you're trying to sleep is very exhausting.
Try having your mind on overdrive constantly and see if you're not tired from it.
The brain was meant to rest but ours doesn't.
Did you pass?
There's a quiz at the end.
It's very often talked about that people with ADHD struggle with object permanence which isn't untrue,
but I think it's important to understand that it's a different kind of object permanence than the one that like babies deal with when a ball rolls behind the couch and they don't know that it still even exists.
We're aware that the ball still exists, just like how I'm aware that my sink is still full of dishes even though I'm not currently looking at it.
Oh, I gotta do my dishes.
Our struggles with object permanence are more like its difficult to keep things open in our brain desktop,
if we're not actively getting stimulus from it reminding us that it exists.
Like if we knock over a glass that we just sat down because we reached for something without looking,
it's not because we don't think the glass exists anymore,
We just weren't thinking about it because out of sight, out of mind.
Now here's the quiz.
What object did I drop at the beginning of this video?
ADHD people, just because say you can survive three days without water, doesn't mean you need to test that out constantly.
You should go drink some water right now.
