The next time I’m struggling to explain to someone what having ADHD is like, I’m just gonna send them this

multiple people have replied or QTed this with sth to the effect of "does anyone& #39;s brain not work like this?" and the answer is: I do not know!

what I do know is that I have ADHD & this is a fairly accurate depiction of my internal monologue at any given point

dumping some threads & resources here bc they may be useful if you& #39;re recently diagnosed or suspecting you may have ADHD:

- v long thread (shocking, I know) that covers sensory overload as well as why ADHD doesn& #39;t necessarily = super disorganized https://twitter.com/_chelleshock/status/1104113840978100224">https://twitter.com/_chellesh...

some notes about productivity & habits https://twitter.com/_chelleshock/status/1089309342157979648">https://twitter.com/_chellesh...

ADHD being misdiagnosed or treated as anxiety/GAD, very common experience in women (or people read as women) https://twitter.com/_chelleshock/status/1074051516745560064">https://twitter.com/_chellesh...

people that I follow who regularly discuss having ADHD: @blkgirllostkeys @danidonovan @ErynnBrook @ADHD_Alien < all have comics, blogs, videos, threads, etc. with a lot of very helpful stuff

if you& #39;re still reading and have the cash to spare, consider donating to the Minneapolis Freedom Fund: https://minnesotafreedomfund.org/donate ">https://minnesotafreedomfund.org/donate&qu...

pls support the BLM protestors in MN and everywhere else, however you can!
