  • My personal experience is that there’s a direct correlation between my physical health and effectiveness of my ADHD medication.

    My hypothesis is that since it’s about my brain capability to register and prioritise stimuli, the busier said brain is (with other body issues) the less likely it is too perform executive functions. This might be the general case, but since we start from the unfavorable position, it might be more debilitating for us.

    (I’ve no idea why I’m using such a fancy language rn. Apologies)

    I don’t know. I was making rice today and the moment I left kitchen (for a nano second, of course) it burned.

    Here’s my today’s rice recipe:

    • put some oil in the pot
    • put a cup of rice and set the heat to max
    • add salt, a clove of garlic and a couple of cardamom seeds
    • mix until rice changes colour
    • think how well you have everything under control
    • blink (I swear the new avatar has nothing to do with it!), take the burnt rice off the stove and throw it away
    • realise I forgot my medication
    • take another pot and repeat the steps, but avoid blinking
    • when drive changed colour, add 1.5 cups of water
    • reduce the heat and cover the pot
    • realise that the pot is too small
    • pour everything into a bigger pot
    • add heat
    • blink and realise the water is boiling out
    • move it from the heat, reduce the heat
    • wait
    • wait some more
    • move the pot back but turn the heat off
    • wait 15 minutes
    • rice is done!
    • realise it’s not salted but take the win and feed your child
