ADHD Note Taking
I'm reading an online text book now (while YouTube is playing) and I wanted to do this right now real quick on how I do notes and people can add how they do notes with ADHD or other learning disorders. (Also at least I am doing this when I started this who knows if I'll add this to my drafts)
I write in differnt colored pens. -- I find writing in one color kind of makes everything blend together just like, bleeeeggghh. Writing in different colors separates the points to me and also when I inevitably lose my reading place, I have a general idea where I was.
I also think the routine thing works in here. Some say routine helps ADHD, I disagree, I think routine irritates me. I think of routine like the Doctor from Doctor Who does. It's appalling to me and it makes me want to scream or rip off my arm just so something happens. (You may think that's overdramatic but who are you to judge me, likely neurotypical person!?) I think routine bores my brain and makes it drift off and the different colors helps that.
I write one side of the page, not on both sides -- When you write and you turn the page, it caused the led or ink to smudge on the page and it kind of messes me up and also if you write in ink it bleeds slightly even with gel pens that I use and that also messes me up so I write on the front side of every new page which I know is wasteful but so is writing notes that don't help me.
I always seperate each line of words with those notebook lines -- When I was in elementary school (because I had a motor skills problem) I would be brought out of class to work on my writing and I was taught to write inside the line which is how most people probably do it but I've found if I go to the next line it also makes it blend in together and it like, where am I, there's too much in this one spot. There are hanging hooks of J's and Y's and I slanted my writing a little, so I put one clean space of notebook lines between my writing.
I have something of relevance playing -- I'm studying psychology right now--I want to delve more in the psychology of people for writing and what not and I always knew I understood psychology better because of my ADHD and I had started watching Criminal Minds which is about the FBI's branch called the BAU (Behavorial Anayalsis Unit) where they use psychology and statistics to narrow down who a criminal (like a serial killer) is and understand them and I found I actually understood what they were saying a lot--so I play Criminal Minds while I study. It's relevant and so it keeps me on task--ideally I do episodes I've already seen but sometimes I do new ones. (I'm only season 12)

The invisible monsters in our heads that make us different and people blame us for that. But I wouldn't trade it... ADHD has made me more understanding of people and psychology on a different level I think. It's made me a more open-minded person. And a more creative person (even if I feel like I have the worst case of writer's block for nearly six years now)
ADHD has given me the philsophy of: "Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing of. So always be kind." Besides you never know what you say or do can change someone's life... or end it.
ADHD was a really tough design so It went through many interactions. The purple hummingbird-inspired sketch was an idea from my good friend @faboogu that really helped unlock the design. Also included is an alternative version of the shifted effect that I love, but makes my eyes bleed! It literally took 4 years to come up with the final design!

Also Crowley focusing on how he doesn't want to spend the end of the world in Tadfield (probably forgetting which highway he'd have to use)
And focusing on Aziraphale's use of "Wiggle on"

Hey, I don't want to be an idiot but what is rejection sensitive dysphoria?
hey, no problem, there’s nothing wrong with not knowing things like that and asking about it (i didn’t even know of rsd before my first sessions with my therapist so yeah, you’re fine)
rejection sensitive dysphoria (short: rsd) is what people with adhd experience when they feel rejected, criticised, insulted or something like that. it doesn’t even have to be “real”, just obsessing over it hours later and deciding that a certain tone of voice was actually condescending or whatever is enough to make us spiral drastically. we react stronger to these things than neurotypical people, and to us it’s one of the worst feelings ever because you are suddenly convinced that the person you feel “rejected” by hates your guts and only pretends to like you and idk, rsd just turns small things into something way, way worse than it actually is. it’s awful and i honestly struggle explaining it to others who don’t experience it because i can’t put into words the kind of emotional pain rsd puts you through

Parents, siblings, aunt, uncles, cousins, whatever, of those who have ADHD, this is a good way to get them to resent you in life forever if you do this repeatedly until they stop forgiving you
Also being called sensitive, being girls don't have ADHD, or girls with ADHD are different than boys (I'm not. Girls typically present more of the inattentive kind of ADHD. Not me.)
For me, I feel like, "boys are diagnosed with ADHD more than girls: is one because I don't believe it. I believe they are diagnosed less but I don't believe that it's more common in boys than girls. I just think either doctors don't think girls have it or because girls tend to lack the most known symptom: the hyperactivity, it's missed by doctors, parents, and teachers.
When I was a baby and my ADHD kicked in at age three, the doctor I had at the time insisted there was nothing wrong with me but my mom knew better so she changed my doctor to one that had been suggested to her and he agreed with her that I must've had ADHD. And I have the hyperactivity and the inattentive kind and I was three. I don't have any memory from back then but stories and pictures say otherwise.
sentences that will immediately make adhd people hate you
- if it was really important, you wouldn’t have forgotten about it
- have you tried meditating
- you’re so dramatic, it’s not a big deal
- stop fidgeting
- ‘i dont know’ isnt an answer
- any ‘ooh shiny’ joke
- any ‘squirrel’ joke
- just go to bed earlier
- you can’t have adhd, you’re too smart
- stop procrastinating
- adhd isn’t real, it’s just kids being kids
- *gets mildly distracted* haha i’m so adhd

I've never really thought of being told I have potential as inflating my ego. I have no ego. I have negative self esteem. I am convinced that everyone else is better than me because of my inferiority complex. But I feel like I have more self-awareness than the typical ADHD person. I think maybe because I have a family member without ADHD who the things I struggle with came so easily to them (especially math) so they got frustrated when I couldn't or I used a calculator (turns out I have a math learning disorder) so they yelled at me and then every time we were in the same room they scurtinized me and criticized me on what I was doing. Years ago, they yelled at me for at least half an hour (no time concept but it was longer than it needed to be) because I didn't put something down right after I was told to because their constant yelling and criticizing had me in this constant petrfied state of making any choice which seemed to have slowed down my processing ability.
I think because I've been inflicted with this my whole life, and because my dad has ADHD, so I see how he was (that's a whole other story of neglect that miraculously didn't end in my death), I have been aware of my inability to focus affecting my work. I do have impossible goals in mind, I want to be a famous writer and bring awareness to the reality of ADHD, I have all these plans but since I turned eighteen, I seem to have the worse case of writer's block and now every original idea I have is clearly inspired by another already existing idea, no matter how much I try to deviate it, but I wouldn't say I have an ego about it.
I'm aware of my inability to focus, I'm aware of me always thinking I'll start being productive the next day, I'm aware of my hyperactivity, I have fits of awareness where I realized I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be. I think because my whole life I've been yelled at by one or two people and had my flaws pointed out to me over and over but I knew I was trying my best even if it doesn't look like it.
There's a line in The Good Place, I think describes ADHD productiveness. (
Trying to want to is basically most of my day described.
(The Good Place is full of lines that people with ADHD will relate to or there are plenty of memes paraphrasing the quotes.)
*The family member situation—It's both better and not better, they work at night three times a week, so apparently that means they can be snappish at everyone; and I thought before they had their personality surgically removed at birth But I no longer care about their opinion because now I know for certain that I am a better person and that I know other people are noticing too.*
ADHD is spending your whole life being told that you're not doing your best and that you could do better if you tried harder and worked harder until you believe it yourself, becoming convinced that your your best work is actually only your average, and there's a mythical, hypothetical, never-before-seen Your Best, which is surely the work of gods.
So you end up with this inflated ego and stalwart belief that you should be capable of curing cancer, discovering new planets, composing new opera pieces to take the world by storm, if you only tried harder. But for some inexplicable reason, you simply won't put your mind and focus on it, and now you hate yourself for not being the spectacular specimen you were taught you ought to be.
And that's why you end up having these conversations with your therapist where they are like "normal people don't put this kind of demands and expectations on themselves", and you dead seriously fucking answer
"Yes, but I'm not normal people."

YES! Before the Pandemic, I was doing really good, I got my first good grade on a test ever... in college! (It was Introduction to Theatre and really my knowledge of Percy Jackson helped me just as much as my knowledge of the subject) Then I started online classes and it started getting terrible, I was good at the first philosophy class (because the teacher taught us philosophy with superhero examples.) Then for ethics, I didn't understand a single thing I was supposed to read and I kept thinking, am I stupid or does this just not make sense? When I was reading that book I was either confused/stressed or depressed/stressed.
And the worse one was American Sign Language! It was taught by a deaf woman who could only speak in sign language and we only had a translator the first day. We had to learn from a DVD and I realized that learning sign language is much harder than other subjects because you can't just write it down. I was so bad at it that I had to drop out before the test.
It didn't help that I kept procastinating calling the woman with the disabilities that would give me extra time... but then for the ethics and certain ones, I wasn't allowed extra time . In my head, I was thinking, "it's already hard enough not having someone there I can actively ask questions about and hear it in the environment to learn!"
Sorry, if I sounded whiny about the extra time, it's just the tests I did well on, I went past the normal time limit. (Granted, I kept double checking because I was afraid if I didn't they'd take away the extra time until I got so bored I couldn't take it anymore.)
idk about other adhd folks but online classes are not doing anything for me. if anything it's making my executive dysfunction even worse. it's like my brain refuses to work unless i am physically in a classroom and i have actual printed worksheets in front of me and people beside me
me: pls brain we gotta work we have like 10 deadlines
my brain: are we in a fucking classroom???? We Are Not In A Classroom. Therefore We Will Not Work. Also There Are No Other People With You Therefore The Social Expectations That Force You To Work Do Not Exist
me: *is on a verge of a breakdown*

You should see me try to bake. I love it and I'm good at it, if slightly forgetful but I can't just not have something going on so I watch TV shows and I have a family member who lives in my house who always complains about how I take so long so I just stopped baking while they're here because trying to explain it to them is useless. At the beginning of this month, it took me literally all night to make two batches of blueberry lemon muffins for Fourth of July.
man, having adhd really is just *takes way too long to do literally everything*

Yes! My next bit is relevant I swear. The line in Friends when Joey is talking about how much he hates Janice by wanting to rip off his arm just so he has something to throw at her, always reminds me of this. Sometimes I want to rip my arm off just so something will happen! When I get in that bored state, it's like Steve Carrell in something, I forgot what (Maybe the forty-year-old Virgin), where he's like walking around his house, continuously groaning or constant screaming in my head.
adhd is so embarrassing ur basically like “I have to have fun right the fuck now or I’m throwing myself off the roof” 90% of the time and you also have very little control over this
