Food is different for me. When I first got diagnosed and medicated for ADHD I realised that I was ALWAYS hungry. Like always. I had never not been hungry in my life. I had been full/stuffed but hunger just does not work properly for me. Meds just suddenly made me recognise it. So I can eat my breakfast and not be craving food in ten minutes again.

Not a doctor but I reckon what I had thought was hunger was actually craving dopamine. So I was eating because I thought I was hungry and looking for the kick of sugary foods but I really just needed balanced dopamine levels

For me (piano player/singer and dabble in others) it’s a quick dopamine hit. I struggled most with the ‘boring’ part of training but I hyperfocused through a lot of it and my teacher thankfully new that I needed motivation through that so instead of just learning my exam pieces and technical exercises I was playing pop songs as well that I could sing along with myself etc.

The point I quit lessons was second year college with a new teacher where I spent all year on two pieces. I nearly lost my mind and never went back to lessons.

Even today I struggle to get myself to the piano but I can lose myself for hours and forget to eat or go to the bathroom and just float along on the sea of sound and dopamine 😂

As the mum of an Autistic and ADHD Child who has had no services for it this makes me so cross. We’ve had to go private for all diagnosis. His AON which legally was meant to be done in 3 months is currently standing at 20 months and waiting. The only service we’ve received help with was the primary care psychology we were referred to before the diagnoses were discovered but she had no experience with autism so ended up meeting with us a few times instead.

The absolute cheek of them to have retained such information and to have not one but TWO enquiries justifying it to themselves

I’m AuDHD. Other half is undiagnosed but probably ADHD. 8 year old is AuDHD. No idea about the three year old. But yeah… our house is either stripped bare if I’ve been on a hyperfocus clean or absolute chaos if neither of us have been

Deebot our robot vacuum has helped a lot. And we are trying to implement some routine but none of us are very good at routine so… 😂

Wow that’s a bit further than I expected 😂🙈

I really do wonder sometimes. Like this is so wrong on so many levels. Burning pictures of a current Taoiseach is just obnoxious

Yes. It’s mad to me that two weeks ago I could sort by new and keep up (apart from NSFW). Now I can’t. Albeit my instance disappeared last night so I’m rebuilding again
