Ah! But then you need a dedicated hat. 😆 Definitely an additional +1 to any kit.
Also, what’s this second flashlight with a silicone diffusor? Got a model/name for it?
Yeah I don’t know if I could handle the crash and other side-effects. I already have so many other health things I am trying to manage and understand I feel like this would be another wrench thrown into the proverbial machine.
I did get a chance to meet with the therapist and she immediately was like “you have ADHD”. All it took was mentioning my unending fidgeting and constant need to rush things and she already knew where it was going. I wonder if a therapist has the ability to administer any tests even if they aren’t for the purpose of medication - more as a clinical confirmation of diagnosis I guess?
Thanks for your ADHD story btw!
I started adding an additional headlamp flashlight to my bags - in an emergency I may need my hands available. Has been the better choice when there’s something I need to fix or work on at night.
Nothing is better for and ADHD brain than tests and more tests. 😬
I’m hoping that I won’t need meds at all and there’s an approach where I can just use therapy to help me understand myself and how I can manage my bad habits.
What’s frustrating is that I took some tests when I was younger but they were administered by someone in my family who actively was hoping I wouldn’t have ADHD and therefore wouldn’t need meds - so that confused me a bit… unless they were right and I’m potentially an anxious mess instead. But anxiety might be it’s own meds 🤪. Still would like to avoid it.
So, relax, get the foundational bits out of the way, when the time comes be honest about how I feel. Simple enough. Thanks!
Only when I hit a point where I say “I am very tired and should go to bed” and then that’s when I might actually start doing work. Got to love it.
fist bump 👊 😎
I literally am doing the same thing. I should be working on some client projects that are due over the next two days and instead I created 7 different communities. But I am creating those communities so damn well! 🤷🏻♂️
“Now I am leaving Earth for no raisin!” but I specifically use “… for no raisin” in everyday conversation.
I appreciate that perspective. They aren’t bad habits, they are different habits… and they work better in certain scenarios too. Convert those mannerisms to superpowers I say.
