I like to headcanon that it was his job to take care of the bathroom fish tank

waiting…

Folks, I’m curious if this is just me or an ADHD thing?

Every time I feel like I need to eat or drink something, I have to do both eating and drinking at the same time, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to concentrate on my meal and would just stare at the wall with a full glass or plate.

Каждый день я просыпаюсь и я не знаю, что я буду чувствовать, как я буду себя вести, что я смогу сделать, насколько я в принципе буду функциональна. Я никогда не чувствую, будто контролирую себя, свою жизнь. Я чувствую себя призраком, иногда я забываю, что я существую, и о боже, как легко это было бы! Забыть! Я мечтаю об этом! Я не имею никакого контроля, всё что со мной происходит никогда не моя заслуга или даже вина! Это просто случается! Я не человек, я ничего не делаю! Я просто наблюдаю! Поэтому каждый раз когда у меня спрашивают, что будешь делать в будущем, я не знаю! Почему ты говоришь это так, будто я выбираю! Я никогда ничего не выбираю, никогда ничего не контролирую, как я могу знать что случится! Я просто хочу чтобы я снова могла делать то, что хочу, чтобы я была способна подумать «я сделаю это и это» и потом сделать это и это! Я даже не хочу контроля над тем, что происходит вокруг, я только хочу контроль над собой! Я хочу почувствовать себя настоящей, как будто я человек, а не как грёбаный зомби!

My theory of adhd management is that in order to focus there are 4 things that need to be sufficiently occupied:

Eyes

Ears

Hands (or body)

Brain

And if you aren’t occupying them enough or there’s too many things demanding the use of one, it’ll start to wreck havoc on your ability to do things.

So for example, listening to a podcast. This occupies your ears and brain as you focus on both listening and processing what you hear, but it leaves your hands and eyes completely without anything to do. If you tried to sit down and just listen to a podcast by itself you’d probably get unbearably bored and stop doing it.

But if you pair that activity with something that uses your hands and eyes, like a craft, household chore, or commute, suddenly you’re fully plugged in and can in fact focus better on both tasks than you could if you tried doing them separately.

It’s also why you can’t listen to a podcast while doing homework; you’re trying to use your brain for two different tasks. To occupy your ears while doing homework (which is already using eyes, brain, and hands) you need something for your ears that doesn’t require your brain: music. Specifically music that doesn’t use too much brain power, which is why some people prefer instrumentals or songs in other languages.

Hyperfixation and sensory overload change this by moving the threshold for how much sensory input you need to be able to function. If I’m extremely focused on a craft project (eyes, hands, brain) I might not even need something for my ears; my interest in the project makes up for it. If i’ve had a very overwhelming day, trying to listen to an audiobook while I do some stretches could be too much to process. My brain needs a break.

Video games, which pretty much universally occupy all 4 areas, are basically instant, easy focus wrapped up in a neat little bow. No wonder adhd-havers tend to love them.

If you’re struggling with a task, try looking at which areas it occupies and which are left unattended. Then try to find something enjoyable to fill those gaps, and see if that helps.

What if instead of playing Chess in Ford's Mindscape they play Parkour Civilization 🤔

Do you think Evbo learned how to do those jumps and thought "oh this is so sick what's the best way I can show off my parkour skills"

Some Isafrin fanfic writers are really funny!! But idk, when they primarily use they/them pronouns for Siffrin, its not as funny, they lose all the hehe’s :(

:D

Fuck yeah dude
