ADHD weirdo

ADHD meltdowns don’t come out of nowhere... They’re built on unseen triggers. Pinpoint the pattern, and you can stay grounded.

Ever been told to “just breathe” when your brain is spiraling? Yeah… doesn’t really work for many of us with ADHD. Grounding is meant to help you calm down and get out of your head. But Grounding isn’t one-size-fits-all. When your mind is on fire... Mental exercises like…

People say “trust your instincts.” But what if your instincts crave dopamine more than safety? For ADHDers, addiction doesn’t feel like a risk — it feels like a reflex. Dopamine hits fast. - No planning. - No effort. - Just reward. It feels easy. But easy doesn’t mean safe.…

Dear ADHDers, If grounding exercises haven’t worked for you, You’re not alone. It’s not because you’re lazy or broken. Your brain just needs a system. One that makes grounding easier to reach for when you need it most. The key? Practice when you're calm. Not in the middle…

Dear ADHDers, Ever notice how with ADHD, Nothing ever really goes on autopilot? You can brush your teeth, shower, eat... Do the same thing a hundred times! And somehow still need to plan out every step like it’s the first time. Habits just don’t stick the way people say they…

Feeding yourself with ADHD... Can feel like this constant loop: – Have I even eaten today? – Am I hungry, or just bored or stressed? – Nothing I have sounds good. Nothing I want is available. – I can't start cooking, but there’s nothing ready. – I can’t live on olives and…

Everyone wears a mask. The difference is: Non - ADHDers wear theirs to show the version they want others to see. We ADHDers wear ours to hide the parts society won’t accept - The parts they call lazy, disruptive, or too much. It’s not self-expression. - It's a trauma response.…

People judge ADHDers as: - Too sensitive. - Overdramatic. - Always overreacting. Because they only see the outbursts, the tears, the shutdowns. They don’t see the chaos inside. The part where you don’t know why you reacted that way. Where it feels like you’ve lost control of…

People think ADHD means we can’t: – plan – organize – figure things out But that’s just what they notice when we’re struggling and overwhelmed. That’s bullsh*t. Don't let their wrong beliefs become the voice in your head. They miss the part where we’re navigating chaos like…

Society celebrates perfectionism in ADHDers. They think it's just: - Ambition - Motivation. - Or doing your best But really, it’s a trauma response. It's fear: - Fear of failure. - Fear of criticism. - Fear that if we don’t do it perfectly, we’ll prove every bad thing ever…

ADHDers have a complicated relationship with messages. We often don’t reply... Not because we don’t care! More because: → As soon as the screen changes, the message vanishes from our minds → If it triggers emotion, we freeze, avoid, or half-reply, then spiral → If it needs…

ADHD doesn’t just make it hard to focus or get things done. It also affects how we connect with other people, even in love. Not everyone with ADHD has the same problems in relationships. But things like: - Hyperfocus, - Distractibility, - Sensory sensitivity ...can all show…

Reading with ADHD can be tough. Not because you’re lazy. Not because you’re broken. But because with every single line your brain is working against - - Distraction. - Impulsivity. - Boredom. And much more. Still want to read? Try this: - Start small. Poems, micro-fiction,…

They said success means consistency. Same way. Same time. Same energy. Every. Single. Day. But life’s not built like that — especially with ADHD. Not being consistent isn’t failure. It’s human. Progress doesn’t need perfection. It needs persistence. It needs you to keep…

People think, “You can't be ADHD! You’re so on top of everything!” Yeah — because I’m terrified of messing up. You see, perfectionism is a response to ADHD. - To mask the struggle. - Avoid failure. - Earn praise. It’s not ambition — it’s survival. And it’s exhausting.

Dear ADHDer, You’re not broken because schedules don’t work for you. They were never designed for how your mind moves— Fast, nonlinear, creative, curious. You don’t need more discipline. You need a different approach. Find what works for your brain. That’s where your power…

Dear ADHDers, Ever feel like your brain just won’t cooperate? Like it’s turned to soup— - Motivation vanishes, - Everything slows down, - Your thoughts short-circuit. This is brain fog. Some common causes include: • Lack of sleep • Poor nutrition • Stress or overwhelm When…

People think ADHD is just some quirky personality trait. They don’t see: The shame spiral after forgetting something important. The crushing pressure to seem “normal.” The hours lost to paralysis. And when you finally open up and say, “I’m struggling,” They hit you with:…

Dear ADHDers, How do you deal with The Song? You know the one playing in the back of your brain All. The. Time. The one that ramps up into a concert the second you try to focus on something boring. Ya, that song. I get it. It’s our brain trying to save us from the hell of…

People think I’m “too much” for setting alarms to eat or drink water. They say, “Just listen to your body.” But with ADHD, your body’s whispering through a wall. You only hear it when it’s screaming. This is why so many of us struggle with: — UTIs — Malnutrition — Dehydration…

Don’t gaslight yourself into thinking your ADHD is fake. It doesn’t need to look like a stereotype to be valid. - You can be high-functioning and still struggling. - You can be sociable and still anxious. - You can be thriving in one area and drowning in another. ADHD isn’t…
