My game after diagnosis, is how many I can not cross off to win my bingos.

Bingo!

Now time for row two

Thankfully, I find some of these not fitting as much, like I was lucky enough to fall into jobs where talking and moving around were interpreted as motivation and enthusiasm. The hobbys though, I feel that... Learned to not invest a ton and get used supplies to minimise costs.

Also a good rule, must be something I can use after crafting it. No (ok, fewer) trinkets to remind me that I abandoned another.hobby, but rather "Hey I made that and its so useful still!"

This is fantastic. Finally, a Bingo game I can win (that's without meds)! "My thought have thoughts" cracked me up, it's so true. I have to slow my brain down when I speak to other people because it would be one mess of a flowchart.

With meds, I am so much better. Not perfect, I still have to use systems and reminders, and I still do some of these sometimes, especially when the medicine runs out since it's not a 24-hour thing.

Some there but no bingo. I thought most people with ADHD don't get much out of coffee though. I know I avoid it cos it tastes bad and makes me sleepy.

man O2 struck a recent nerve for me. an asshole at work asked me question and as I was going thru the process of answering it he interrupts me with 'ITS A SIMPLE YES OR NO QUESTION'

I actually once yelled out squirrel in the middle of my own presentation at a team meeting.. admittedly, a squirrel was running by the window at the time.

The "adult manual" one got me. I actually burst into tears asking my partner this because I was struggling to study for a certification. Also feel (and fear) the left or fired from a job one.
