I'm a 50 something husband and Dad who lives in Alberta, Canada. I am ADHD (diagnosed) and suffer from general anxiety/panic disorder (undiagnosed). I am a card carrying member of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada but have no idea what I'm doing with my telescope. I unapologetically wear crocs with socks (never sandals) and watch a lot of hockey through the season, GO OILERS GO!
@_number8_ @db0 there are nuggets but you’ve got to wade through so much garbage to find it. By garbage I mean that crap you didn’t ask for and the people that think they have helpful #ADHD information, but they don’t. By my own fault, I use it as a dopamine slot machine at night and can lose 3 hours like nothing. So I had to take it off my phone.
@Viking_Hippie @db0 I noticed the other day that my mind has what I call “branch thoughts” that sprout as related but separate thoughts to what I’m currently trying to get out of my head. These branch thoughts usually need to be explored individually but if I do that while writing, the original thought is lost. I usually stop writing down the ideas all together because it’s just too much going on at once.
@Viking_Hippie @db0 I relate to this. I have a big bullet journal that I stopped using because it was too big to haul around all the time. So then I bought some field notes books but most of my shirts don’t have pockets and my jean pockets are filled of my phone, keys, wallet, AirPods plus I don’t want a pen in my pants pocket. On top of all of that my hand writing is atrocious and I too have the issue of my brain moving way faster than my hand.
