Just booked an appointment with my doctor to renew my #ADHD meds again. Now it's time to play my favourite game: is he going to fight me on this prescription again?
Hooray! I finally talked my doctor into letting me go back on #ADHD meds. He pushed back, as expected, but I might actually be able to do things again.
One of the more obnoxious parts of the #ADHD experience: the amount of cold toast I eat because I put bread in the toaster and promptly forget that it exists.

@VulcanTourist Yeah, the trouble is that I have so many different reminders for so many different things that sometimes just the cues themselves can be overwhelming. π«
That can happen, too. How much can attention be subdivided before it collapses entirely?
@VulcanTourist I've kinda settled on a system that sorta kinda works most of the time...ish.
I've been off ADHD meds for a while though, so that makes things more difficult.
Just had an appointment with my family doctor. Mostly good news, except for the fact that when we discussed finally being able to go back on #ADHD meds (which I had come off of because we were worried about them worsening another issue) he's going to want me to be re-evaluated for ADHD.
I can't wait to jump through those hoops again for the umpteenth time.

My favourite #ADHD quirk: forgetting what I was saying as I'm in the middle of saying it.
Little by little I've been going more and more analog. I still track every little thing I need to do in my #OrgMode system to help manage my #ADHD, but that list itself can get a little overwhelming. I've started combing over it in the morning, picking out the most critical things for that day and writing them down on a paper checklist in a small notebook I keep in my pocket. The notebook has the advantage of not distracting me with a thousand notifications every time I'm trying to do something productive.
Plus, I just really like having an excuse to put a nice #FountainPen and ink to paper.
Edit: slightly less clumsily worded
