Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

Over years, I made lots of granny squares before boredom set in on each project. A pal finally offered to crochet them into a blanket for me. It took me 18 months to remember to find them & another year to take them 5 minutes up the road and drop them off… picked the blanket up today. #proud #ADHD

I’ve tidied AND dusted AND hoovered the bedroom. Unless you know what an #ADHD bedroom has the potential to be like, this will seem like an inconsequential thing. I even put John’s laundry away (but only after I managed to do mine). #allevening #floordrobe #dogsofbluesky

Ah, insomnia. Sometimes it’s just every crap thing that’s ever happened to me going around in my head as I lie twitching in bed. And sometimes I clean the kitchen! Like with actual floor mopping and shit. #adhdresult
