Truly the best. 😑 I have long wondered about my brain and these exact conversations. "It'll just take 5 minutes to do a piece of this." Two months later.....

Me with every task in my life

I am always convinced the dishes will take me forever when its barely a dishwasher full. It just *looks* like too much and my brain is easily fooled into overwhelmedness.

I got diagnosed at 37 and can say it helped a lot (with the guilt of past procrastination).
I just had the experience of being off my meds for about two months, which was long enough to feel like it was fine. When I started a few days ago I realized how much they help

I’m sure you also love when Normals explain to you about the concepts of productivity and just keep talking when you say, THIS IS NOT ABOUT NOT KNOWING HOW. And by you love that, I mean I don’t love that.

Only four hours? I can go four months. Four years. Four centuries.

Brain: yeah sorry this task does not result in "a little treato" of any kind so I'm not fucking doing it thank you.

It took almost 3 months of telling myself "I need to do this" to put the updated tag/sticker on my license plate, and 10 minutes tops yesterday to actually DO it. 😑😣

I (an adult with ADD) have been trying to convince my child (ADHD) to do 30 mins of work for at least 2 hours. We're halfway done.

Yeah sometimes it takes me months to get to that 10 minute task, and I wish I was exaggerating

tylerwalpole.bsky.social•15 days ago

Oh, big same! My 4 hour thing yesterday was after three weeks of putting it off. 😂

do you really have ADHD if you aren’t sarcastic as hell with yourself? Welcome to the dark side friend

The struggle is real.

I skipped one day of Adderall this weekend (woke up too late to take it) and spent the entire day and half the next day on the couch. How did I get anything done in the 40 years I didn’t have meds?!

ADHD therapist suggested I give the FINCHcare app a try. Super cute! Until the novelty wore off after a week and the adhd was like “Ha! Nice try.”

I also found the breathing exercises nice when I would get stressed. Helped me outta a panic attack once. I enjoy the focus timer as well to keep me accountable for working

ajshdesign.bsky.social•16 days ago

Yes, there’s a lot of things on it I really like - when I remember to check in with it/use it! Agree that the breathing exercises are really nice and helpful.

theartofliz.bsky.social•16 days ago

I love my finch app! Been using it for 5 months now. I dont always use mine for daily or weekly tasks but everyday reminders of whats possible. Like a list of simple foods I like and the time it takes to have!
Dinosaur meal is eating a handful of spinach... which I should do right now...
