See, the funniest thing is that I actually have significantly more spoons than I did a handful of years ago. But because I only got diagnosed at 20, I have two decades of inattentive power saving habits.

I have that thing where we feel we can only do one thing at a time. The magical one thing that we will be interested in that will motivate us through it all.

And that thing where I subconsciously compare the spoons investment and ROI on investment and get put off of doing low ROI stuff.

So, I have pretty bad ADHD (and def maybe have undiagnosed autism) and I have to learn to drive. Im 20 and am nervous that I wont be able to learn because I have difficulty focusing on driving and remembering to look before I cross lanes. Any tips?

Sent 27th May~

I’m in the exact same situation at the minute! I’ve been learning to drive for… a while, and it’s not going as well as I’d like - I don’t really have much advice unfortunately. I always drink some caffeine before a lesson, and it does help a bit. I also always repeat directions I’ve been given out loud, because the ADHD short term memory issues have previously meant that I’ve gotten to a roundabout and forgotten which way I’m supposed to be turning.

You do get better at it, though. It’s one of those things that takes practice—the basic things start to become second nature after a while.

If anyone has any tips, please leave it in the comments/reblogs!

So… I’m a young adult (20s) with inattentive ADHD and other mental health issues who will be moving out for college next month

I have done a 3.5 year vocational training (so I’m qualified to work as a professional handyperson) and I do have savings

But I do not have the slightest idea how to budget household money

I got a student loan of 450€/mo and my parents said they will give me 200€/month for groceries/ food

I DO NOT intend to start a part-time job until at least my 3rd semester! I have been out of school too long and need to focus so I don’t fuck up college

So my starting budget is 650€/month from which I have to pay

rent & utilities,

insurances (household, liability, casualty, some private health insurances),

groceries,

Plus a small amount each month I need to put aside in case I have to buy additional books, stationary, new everyday-shoes or generally in case I have to replace stuff that gets broken/ used up

Can anyone help me how to keep track of my finances and how to budget when I barely have enough money to cover overheads/ necessities?

Honestly I feel genuinely bad asking for help, especially since I know I have more savings to my name than many people my age probably have. But also, my parents never budgeted – at least not in a way they can teach me how to

And I’m just so scared of college as a whole and of messing up and that I won’t be able to keep up with studying… I got in, yes, but I also know I haven’t done the necessary math in YEARS because my vocational training focused on mechanics and transmissions and forces. I’m a state-certified mechanic and my college degree is mechanical engineering but I doubt my “advantage” is worth much. I’m sincerely worried. And I haven’t been able to study on my own – although I have more than enough pre-college math books specifically for the pre-courses – because of stress and anxiety around finding a flat-share/ living accommodations. I have been procrastinating most things because finding a flat-share hasn’t been exactly successful and I’m trying to ignore my looming dread and anxiety. I’m genuinely scared I will mess up and ruin my entire life because I’m not “ready” or intelligent or mentally healthy enough to make it.

If I at least got the budgeting out of the way, so to speak, that would help convince myself I’m not as much of a fuck-up.

Adhd tip of the day:

When cooking, wear an apron, or some kind of novel reminder that you're cooking/baking, so that you don't forget you're cooking.

Applies to most tasks!

Anyway,,,

I'm making pizza dough for the weekend and you have to let the dough rest before you knead so in that process I'd have easily forgotten about my little [not little its 800g of flour dough (baby)]project if I wasn't wearing my slightly uncomfortable apron :D

It’s a whole mood getting annoyed because hobbies require hands

Like, I have ADHD of the inattentive sub-type, I would looooove to do multiple (low-capacity) things at the same time

But I can’t knit and do Duolingo; I can’t cross-stitch and write; I can’t read fanfic and try recipes

Cooking /Baking while doing Duolingo-exercises halfway works if my hands don’t get too dirty

If I could do my pre-college materials while doing something fun else at the same time I probably wouldn’t procrastinate them as much

I know audio books are a thing and I need to get back into podcasts but… it’s unfair!

I don’t want to choose between cross-stitch and bettering my language skills, between writing on my story and making a cake; between studying for my pre-college course and reading

I saw an ADHD post today that was not relatable (it was about brushing teeth, which I do twice a day like clockwork no problem). Stuff like that sometimes makes me second guess whether I’ve really got ADHD.

So I’m reminding myself that brushing teeth is my one habit that’s lasted longer than a few months and no less than three psychologists have diagnosed me with ADHD and everyone with ADHD experiences it differently.

Also, second-guessing whether you have ADHD might be the most universal symptom of diagnosed ADHD.

*talking to myself in the mirror* you don’t have to relate to every single meme, ya weirdo

Linda Flynn-Fletcher

I think Linda Flynn-Fletcher is potentially one of the most misunderstood characters in the show.

It think comes from a natural enough place. Her role in the show is of course, to act as the potential threat to their summers of fun. While they boys never see her as a threat, narratively she's the big bad. If she sees it, its game over.

Here's the thing though. She's a not a bad mom. Her children LOVE her. Similarly to how Phineas and Ferb absolutely adore Candace and would do nearly anything she asked, Phineas, Ferb and Candace all love and respect their mother and don't disobey her. Now a bit of this is clearly Linda being a more permissive parent, but any rules that Linda has Phineas and Ferb never do anything to disobey their mother. While I wouldn't be surprised if there were one or two instances where Candace disobeyed her mother willfully, the closest I can think off off hand is Candace not doing a bunch of chores that she was supposed to do. Really, the fact that all her kids love her, shows how much all her kids feel loved in their household. And I think that's super important. Candace wrote a song about how much she feels loved by her mom, even if her mom is dismissive of Candace. But she still goes with Candace to see what the boys are up to even if she doesn't believe it. She sets boundaries on how often Candace can bust the boys sure. But she hasn't forbidden Candace from doing it altogether. Nor does she punish Candace for presumably lying?

At MOST Linda will say something like: "let's get you out of the sun" after a failed bust. The worst of it I think is probably the time Linda made her promise not to try or suffer the Pharaohs curse. Which, was just some guy in a Pharaoh costume telling Candace curse you. Linda goes out of her way to read books to try and deal with her daughter. She and Candace still clearly hold a lot of affection for each other and do spend a decent amount of mother daughter time together. Linda gives books to her daughter, tries to direct her to other activities, and finds her sleep busting cute, and sometimes goes out of her way to do activities her daughter wants to do with her. All things considered Linda is REALLY patient about Candace's busting. Could she be doing more to get to the bottom of why Candace is presumably acting out? Sure. But Doofensmirtz could also be doing a better job of listening to his daughter and not insulting her (or do we not remember why Vanessa wears earbuds around the house) but we all call him a really good dad.

A LOT of shows have kids hiding a secret from a parent for one reason of another. But while the crux of the show rests on Linda not knowing what her sons are doing, its not because its a secret. The boys aren't hiding it from her. The boys genuinely believe she knows. Lawrence genuinely believes she knows. Candace is the only one in the family who really grasps the situation.

Linda's ignorance, her disbelief of the wild shenanigans that her children get into is easily mistakable for normality. For representing the oppressive day to day. The same thematic antagonist as school. A mom who wants whats best for her kids, and thinks that whats best for them is them being normal, without realizing what's really best for them. After all why else we saw what would happen if she found out in Quantum Boogaloo. But the fact of the matter is aside from that one future (which also featured an effectively evil leader in Doofensmirtz, and therefore implies more factors at play than just Doofensmirtz and Linda's characters), we don't really know how it would play out in the long term. Future Linda even just kinda moves on after discovering the truth.

Linda is exactly like her kids. She just does the same things on a less physics breaking scale. The woman has like 37 different hobbies. She takes a cooking class, donated an art sculpture, is part of a jazz group. She has a background in astrophysics. She was a pop star. She won a meatloaf contest. She takes french lessons. The fact that Linda has several hobbies is part of the reason the formula works at all. Linda is constantly trying new things which gets her out of the house, while her sons are trying their own new things. Her absence is what prompts Candace to have to go looking for her. Also, What Do It Do when the moment Linda gets put in Candace's position she acts the exact same way.

Also it's why she and Lawrence are so compatible. They have a lot of weird hobbies they spend together. She likes Lawrence's history references. They watch car racing together. They went spelunking together. They go bowling regularly enough to have equipment. She has played the bagpipes while Lawrence danced (which sidenote: do you think she taught Candace how to play the bagpipes?).

Not to mention her extended family. Think about it. Her mom was a competitive roller derby skater who once bit a skate and shook it like a dog with a chew toy and pulls elaborate pranks with her identical twin. Really she's a lot like Candace with her aggressive passion. Her dad apparently won a balloon race, but tells the story in the most straightforward way possible, sometimes very oblivious, but is overall a lot like Phineas. Her sister is an adrenaline junky. And back to Quantum Boogaloo for a minute: Her granddaughter is just like Candace, Grown up Candace is a lot like Linda. Do you not see the implications!!?!?!? LIKE???? DO YOU NOT REALIZE THAT LINDA WAS PROBABLY A LOT LIKE CANDACE AND PHINEAS WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER?!!?! YOU THINK IT SKIPPED A GENERATION OR SOMETHING???

Do you think Linda used to complain about Tiana??? Do you think Linda thought her family was weird and was embarrassed by them??? Do you think Linda ever called herself the only mature/normal member of her family?? LIKE CANDACE DOES????

Anyway, Linda is just like her family. Sure, she is RELATIVELY more normal, but that's relative, and probably simply because the universe bends itself around to keep her from knowing. Linda literally cannot find out about the real nature of her universe. Linda is just a grown up version of her children, seeking to make the most of each day, but within the bounds the universe has set upon her, both as an adult woman and mother, but also in the laws of physics expected of her. But she still makes the most of her life. You don't have to build a roller coaster to make the most of each day and all that.

I think if Linda is representing anything its that even parents can have rich fulfilling lives. Where they make the most out of each day. Having fun with your life doesn't stop with adulthood. Even if you have more responsibilities doesn't mean you can't have fun? Sure childhood is something you can't get back but growing up isn't inherently bad either?

GREEN MILK | #003 | crawling over the finish line & burn out & disability & the root of writerly malaise

All Patreon newsletters are free and readable for everyone, I'm using it as a newsletter platform with scope for allowing people to see (and maybe even support???) future RPG work from me.

I was really cooking with this one. I've been stewing on this for a while and today was the lucky day I was finally compelled to write it.

If you want to know what it's like to try and get any work done as a person with unmedicated ADHD and autism, and why my TTRPG adventure The Perilous Pear & Plum Pies of Pudwick has been four years in the making, you should give this a read.

It's pretty candid, but what else should I do, pretend to be someone I'm not? Fuck that, this shit is hard as hell and my work is worth the effort.

It's a long read but a good one. It has good advice on thinking the relationship between self-worth and productivity (hint: you are not the problem), especially if you've got similar brain soup and circumstances to me.

Also if you want to sponsor a trial of ADHD meds for me you can like, consider assassinating and/or otherwise generally terrorising the government and corporate officials hellbent on destroying the National Health Service, I guess. Or I suppose you could just vote for the other team, who are also very vocally all in on genocide and the systematic destruction of the NHS? That would surely be as effective!

Until next time, drink it while it's green!

I finally got an official diagnosis for Szpd.

[hauntedselves]

Concentration Deficit Disorder (CDD) (alternative, less derogative name for Sluggish Cognitive Tempo) is a concept that has been in existence since the 1980s, though it's not part of any diagnostic manual yet so it can't actually be diagnosed.

The following are the proposed symptoms of CDD:

Apathetic, unmotivated, withdrawn

Daydreams

Easily confused, mentally foggy

Brain fog

Loses train of thought easily

Lost in thought

Sluggish, lethargic

Sleepy, drowsy, trouble staying awake/alert

Slow thinking, inaccurate processing

Spacey/zoned out, inattentive

Stares blankly, mind seems to be elsewhere

Tired

Underactive, slow moving

There are similarities with inattentive ADHD, but CDD has a different presentation than ADHD and there's strong evidence that it's a separate disorder. People with CDD have no hyperactive symptoms and are actually hypoactive.

An earlier name for CDD was "primary disorder of vigilance" (PVD). The name "attention deficit disorder" (ADD) was also proposed but most researchers don't use this since it's an old name for ADHD-PI.

Other similar disorders include autism, SzPD, dissociative disorders, dysthymia/persistent depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, and medical disorders like thyroid disorders or absence seizures. CDD symptoms (especially daydreaming) are normal in moderation, it's their excessive and consistent presence that make it a disorder.
