If this is "your life", your every day, it's possible you may have ADHD. Check out the videos below and see if they resonate with like they did with me. https://twitter.com/ValarMorDollars/status/1377055978512863235
This definitely me every day, all day

Vows gotta be real! #ADHD
I definitely forget about things when they're put away. It's usually only food tho. 
As long as you don't count my clutter..so I can see everything all the time. But, I'm just messy, right?? #ADHD

Mistakes and grace are for other people! I'm supposed to get it right on the first try. I'm just an incompetent failure, right? #ADHD
He'll remember his wallet in half an hour #ADHD

I actually started doing this before I saw this video and it's actually been pretty effective! #ADHD
If I can't get it perfect the first time, should I even continue to exist? No seriously. Why should I be alive if I can't do it well? Perfection or failure. There is no in-between. #ADHD
This was my entire college career. I tried to get started early, create an outline, do the research and I just couldn't. Sometimes, I couldn't start until the day it was due, but I never scored lower than a B, so it can't be a REAL problem. I'm just lazy, right? #ADHD
Ok, but I have *never* forgotten my birthday #ADHD

I have to tell myself to focus and concentrate ALL THE TIME!! #ADHD
Breathe and say, "One thing at a time."

Even when it comes to things I want to do or I know will make me feel good, I just can't move. Why can't I move? What's wrong with me? Am I just weak? Am I just lazy? I'm a failure of a person. #ADHD
HOWEVER, I do find that if I play that earworm song, I can get up! Weird.

In middle school, I read a book a week. I carried a book every where. I developed a crook ib my neck. Now I have books I never start or finish. #ADHD
Me, listening to you. #ADHD

As a kid, I went to Girl Scout camps @CampTimberRidge and Camp Pine Acres. Several of the counselors were from the U.K. and I always came home with an accent. I can't help it! #ADHD
Either no energy or LET'S THAT IT ALL DONE! #ADHD
Me with friends vs. me alone. I *always* want to be with me friends. I never want to go home. #ADHD
Body doubling! My ADHD didn't really stick out to me until I started going to school online during a pandemic. I would have such trouble getting started. I couldn't explain it. A friend offers to be on zoom, folding clothes while I studied AND IT WORKED! #ADHD
And then, "Oh shit, the store closes in 15 minutes! Can I make it?" #ADHD
You know the name of thing. You were thinking of the thing right before you needed to say it and then suddenly it evaporates from your mind? #ADHD
This kicked my ass for most of my life & I didn't react well. I wrote emo letters, lost friends, & tried to appeal to folks who did outright reject me. Even today, RSD likes to sink it's claws into me from time to time. These days, I just remove myself & distract my brain #ADHD
Caffeine will pep me up, but also make me cozy enough to fall asleep. #adhd
Just realized I had been working on a tweet that I had completely forgotten about before I started this thread
Got my official ADHD diagnosis today! Can't wait to discuss tools, methods, and medications with the Psychologist.
A DIAGNOSIS
Understanding how #ADHD has impacted my entire life, micro & macro, has allowed me to be a lot kinder to myself. I know what I'm dealing with & I'm not just a failure of a person.
Yes, I just write my final paper. I do ask for edits and help, but I don't really understand writing a rough draft? I frequently tend to write out of order as well & will then put everything in it's right place. #ADHD
I would also sometimes do my test backwards to shake things up a bit and easy anxiety about time. #ADHD
Interesting points! Being distractible and inquisitive is necessary in many situations! Although I don't really have a problem with the word "disorder". I'm honestly not sure I know ANY NT folks. #ADHD
Just before the U.S. started doing lockdowns, I began online school for UX. The pandemic stress, my VERY toxic job, the lack of public places to study STALLED me. I took so many breaks & pauses that my 6 month program is ongoing It's when I started to something was off #ADHD
something was off #ADHD
Having trouble getting things done while alone, is a very common #ADHD thing. For this problem we need the solution of Body Doubling
or the Pomodoro Method. This has been really helpful for my studying and kicking ass at UX! #ADHD
You can also try focusmate! #ADHD
I don't have meds for #ADHD (yet), but because the meds I do have need to be taken with food combined with the fact that I have to feed myself leads to a not so stellar track record. I do spend a lot of time laughing at myself 
I will not tell you how many times I have searched for my glasses......while they were on my face #ADHD

I create brand new portmanteaus all the time . #ADHD

I have the Inattentive type of #ADHD. College was extremely hard for me. I graduated with honors from high school without knowing how to study. It hadn't been necessary. asking for help felt like admitting I was a failure. I stayed in college much longer than I should have.
"Wait. Did I already watch this youtube video?" Me, 10 minutes in. #ADHD
Whew, that chronic stress is real!! #ADHD
I used to be HORRIBLE about this as a teen. I could not stop lying about the smallest shit that no one else would lie about. Lies would fly out of my mouth before I even knew what I was saying and I would feel like such trash afterwards. #ADHD
I need a focus song. #ADHD
Do you have a focus song? How does it go?

How to Rebuild Your Routines When Everything Changes #ADHD
My most immediate needs regarding #ADHD is sleeping. I've been trying so hard to get to sleep at 11 to wake up at 8/9am, but it's so hard! I usually just stay up til I can't anymore and that happens to be around 2AM. Then I don't wake up til 10, then I have trouble getting up
I need a good night time routine. It's so hard to put my cellphone down! Maybe I can get back to reading? "My Night Routine for #ADHD 
"
"
Oh, I really like his suggestions and I have bee preferring comic books/graphic novels recently! Gotta check out some the silicon ear plugs! Gonna build myself a sleep car package with lavender, ear plugs, tea, and comic books. Maybe a sunlight.
Rereading my own #ADHD thread, because I've been struggling with paralyzing executive dysfunction resulting in spiraling negative thoughts that make a perfect and endless circle of despair and doubt
I want more fresh food in my diet, so I might try this! #ADHD
When I tell you that I still have colored pens for this exact reason!! I did this all through college too #ADHD
I need an exact time please!! #ADHD
I have a pile of beautiful journals and will probably buy more. #ADHD
Can't do the thing you know you can do and need to do and may even like to do? That's executive dysfunction. #ADHD
Going from 3x speed to that very slow monotone pitch gets me super frustrated and twitchy. #ADHD
