Thanks for sharing this. I feel like just accepting that my brain functions a different way is an important step for me. Now, being able to utilize it most effectively is another hill, but we'll get there... I think you're right btw. Some of my best tools have been relaxation, but often I just need to do the things that I know I need to do. Rather than delay and exist in that paralysis. Small wins first

2025-08-31 01:50:22 +0000 UTCBrother, you are a mirror of my girlfriend (15 years) so I can spot EXACTLY what you are talking about. She, like yourself I believe, has ADHD and years ago she embraced and continues to learn and realize through others who have it how her brain works. And, most importantly, that it is a normal function or how that type of brain works. No shame, no bad connotations just how that brain is wired. She has, by looking into it, has realized triggers that she or I may do to set off a pattern/feeling. One of the feedback loop as you mentioned. Sometimes it's simple or little things that set that pattern in motion. Something you need to find is a way to center yourself and remove yourself be it yoga or meditation or even a puff off a joint... I don't know. But, in finding that way to center yourself and your thoughts you begin the process of slowing everything down and being able to look back at yourself reassess. This all might sound silly, but I am serious about all of it, and it has helped her so much. It's still (and maybe always) a work in progress and has helped her tremendously. I use a similar concept when I need to shut everything off and focus. I do what I need to do too streamline my focus. She has to do it differently, but it's the same end goal.

2025-08-31 01:49:03 +0000 UTCWow, now I am overwhelmed by the amount of thoughts popping up in my head about what you are describing here and I'm struggling to find a start to put it into words... okay... SOS.... Sammeln -> Orten -> Sprechen (translated: collect -> locate -> speak). Yeah, I wish I could answer with a voice message :-P ---- But does anyone even care WHAT I comment on here? Or is it just about writing a comment for the sake of it? What if I'm making Sohum's life even harder because he feels obliged to also read all my thoughts here and respond to them in some way? --- Okay, so I'd better do something else to distract myself, while I can't concentrate on it anyway because the thoughts won't leave me alone and I'd like to share them....
