jeg ville faktisk bare gerne prøve at lave en lille top-10 liste over musik som er svært at lytte til, for sjov.
min introduktion blev ret omfattende og nu er jeg tvunget til at skrive en længere føljeton.

So many apologists, so little tim... Oh Shiny, so little attention.
Did you know brain scans like fNIRS can actually show how your brain works in real-time? This technology is being used to study ADHD, autism, anxiety, and more! Tag a friend who might find this fascinating!

Sitting in a restaurant waiting for my lunch. Simultaneously realized I couldn't concentrate on my book because I was still listening to a podcast, and vice versa.
Oh.

The Good News: I remember (!) someone told me to remember something.
The Bad News: I do not remember the thing I was supposed to remember. 
Seems only fair I get half credit.

Having now been doing this professional and academically for over 25 years and having people repeatedly tell me that my work product is somewhere between acceptable and very good, I feel like I need to be more honest about just how much of my time is spent chasing my mental focus around like a frightened rabbit in a furniture warehouse trying to coax it into doing the thing I need to do, versus how much time I spend actually doing the thing.
I love how I said to my mum "I think you found me so energetic because we're finally getting there with the methadone dosage" and she managed to answer "you always say that and then go back to sleeping too much" yes because you're doing something that get you burned out as an abled person, how am I, a disabled person, supposed to follow on a month long run? #mentalhealth #disability #disabled #audhd #adhd #adhdlife #autism #lifewithdisability #mentalillness #methadone #methadon
My mother told me I was annoying because I put ugly ass labels on beautiful tea boxes.
I agree but how is anyone else supposed to know what is inside them (knowing it's my main tea organisation tool)? I've been unable to ask someone else's to do a specific tea for like six months maybe I'm tired? 
I also don't remember everything #tea #teadrinking #TeaDrinker #teadrinkers #TeaLover #tealovers #teaenthusiasts #teacollection #teaproblems #adhdlife #adhdproblems

@Catvalente parenthesis: because all my thoughts come with bonus content.

I just learned what demand avoidance is and how I could help myself over come it.
Taking showers has been a fight ever since I remember. So I made a list of my hidden demands:
Before the shower:
Finding clean underwear and towels (laundry demand related which is a whole other list)
Brushing my hair out
- finding a brush
- dealing with painful tangles
(Could get a hair cut which includes various demands)
During the shower:
water temperature needs to be good
- waiting for the water temp to be good
- anxiety related to wasting water while waiting
I hate getting water on my face because it goes in to my eyes when I open them
I hate showering with my eyes closed because I’m afraid I’d get hurt
After the shower:
Temperature change when I get out
The feeling of being wet when I exit the bath/shower
Dealing with my wet hair - won’t use a hair dryer because i don’t like how that makes my hair feel dry and unmanageable
Feeling of my skin after I dry off with a towel
Feeling of moist clothing on my skin (I usually go out to the bedroom and completely dry off sitting in front of a fan before I put clothes on)
Still dealing with my wet hair
Interesting how there are so many things that were demanding my energy. No surprise there just the thought of it makes me want to not do it.
