It feels so good to relax.
The tags on shirts?
You mean sandpaper?
Uh okay how about little spoons?
Beautiful
But we don't like big spoons?
We hate them.
Cotton balls?
My skin is on fire thinking about that

Things you don't realize you do because of your ADHD.
You've been listening to the same song on a loop and still haven't got sick of it even when others are clearly annoyed.
You tend to eat the same foods every day and find it difficult to eat healthy or not to overeat.
You drink a lot of coffee even if it doesn't help. It seems to serve as more of a symbol for starting your day.
You have a million dream projects but fail to complete any at all.
You interrupt a lot but feel bad when you're confronted about it.
You fail to complete tasks because one task branches out into a million others.
If you have to do something you have to do it that very second or else it causes anxiety.
If you don't have a to-do list you feel like you have no sense of direction.
You are always constantly asking people to repeat themselves.
You are very attentive when you are interested in someone or something even to the point of hyperfocus.
Can you relate?
meet me at our spoooooOOOOOoOoOOOt

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
*Dave noises*
Wow looks like somebody has a lot of pent up energy!
Yeah I got energy but it's been inside my body too long and now it's spoiled like milk and I'm exhausted.
I'd be perfectly happy not to see another human being for the next three to five business days.
Oh so are you just gonna go to bed?
Nope there is no way that my brain would shut down right now so if you need me I'm gonna go play video games for the next five hours.
I'm alive!
I'm dead.
I'm watching tv
I'm looking at you fuck you
I'm dead again
I'm up!
I can run faster than a bitch around the house
So one of the most annoying parts about ADHD is that we know what we're supposed to do. Audio: Roxanne - Arizona Zervas (Instrumental)
We know what we're supposed to do, we know the timeline it's supposed to be executed,
but there are things that get in the way that make our inherent ability to function and do things in an ordered and organized way almost impossible.
So then adding this layer of knowing what to do,
knowing that you're unable to do it might be the most frustrating thing in the world.
This is the shocking reality about having ADHD.
It's Sunday morning, sweet! Time to sleep in.
Might browse my socials a little bit before I get out of bed.
Oh shit it's been three hours I better get some stuff done.
You then roll out of bed and desperately try to think of what you need to get done.
There's a million and one things rushing through your head you then enter: ADHD Paralysis.
You're frozen and still in time. You end up then getting freaked out by the copious amounts of tasks you need to complete to keep your life from falling to pieces.
But instead you go and chase the dopamine to distract yourself from the reality as long as possible and this cycle then repeats.
Follow me to hear the raw truth about ADHD
What do you do for exercise?
Well I forget things constantly so there's a lot of getting up and down. A lot of pacing you know? A lot of pacing.
Phone, keys, wallet, every day. That's at least 2,000 steps.
Yeah we'll get back to that. Tell me about your diet.
Light breakfast then just you know forget that you're human until you're like starving.
And then and then eat about two, three, four portions uh dinner size. Ooh and midnight snack.
There's always like a day of the week that I like engorge myself all day for like one day a week so it's fine.
We'll just jump right back how's your sleep cycle?
It's good after my weekly reset or whatever.
Y-your what?
To correct my wonky sleep schedule, you know?
It's like when you after the end of a day you decide to stay up *all night*
and that whole day so that way you'll be exhausted that night so that way you can wake up early the next day.
and then from that point on you know try to wake up and go to bed on time.
I didn't realize this game came out today!
I'm buying it!
I really want to go shopping. $20 limit, $20.
Wouldn't it be funny if I got a frog with a mushroom hat tattoo?
Sorry I got distracted I'm so ADHD!
Okay time's up everyone hand in your tests.
Thank you
Olivia I said time's up, come on.
Oh sorry Mrs. Smith I actually have accommodations since I have ADHD which gives me extra time on timed assessments.
You have the highest mark in this class there is absolutely no need for that.
Having ADHD doesn't mean I'm dumb it just means my brain processes information differently than others so sometimes I need extra time to decode the information.
Oh that's just an excuse if you knew the information you'd be able to finish it in time.
If someone has vision problems and doesn't have glasses you wouldn't see them in the back of the class and then tell them that they're just not smart,
when they perform poorly on tests from copying the notes down wrong in class would you?
Well no they can't control that their eyes aren't functioning properly.
I'd give them the option to sit close to the board have my teachers notes,
and have their tests printed in larger fonts if they needed until they got glasses.
Well having ADHD is kind of like needing glasses. You can't tell if someone has vision problems just by looking at them,
but their struggles are still very real and can be improved using tools like glasses.
So regardless if a person with ADHD uses accommodations or medicine or both as their 'glasses',
they're not getting some kind of unfair advantage but rather a tool that allows them to perform at the same level of their peers.
Yeah I um, I guess that does make sense.
So can I get back to my test now?
Yeah take your time.
ADHD people I think the saddest thing in an ADHD person's life is that there can literally be a glass of water right in front of you,
and no matter how dehydrated you are, you still won't drink it
