An ADHD rant... (beehaw.org)

This morning I'm mostly grumpy about my ADHD.

Firstly, I didn't get around to taking my pill until an hour after I got up, because I straight up forgot, despite remembering as I was pouring my coffee.

Then I just realised that I missed a Dr appointment yesterday, because it was made two fucking weeks ago, and despite being in the fucking calendar I can't be trusted to fucking remember anything.

I'm particularly angry about that, because it was to review (and hopefully increase) my meds...

I'm angry about that because it could have been a sodding phone appointment, but every drs surgery is run by old guys who are massively averse to anything beyond sitting in front of their patients so they can chastise them for being fat.

And I really want to practice the mindfulness I've been taught, to consider that this is a spiral, and that ultimately no harm has been done, I'll just be increasing (hopefully) my dosage a couple of weeks later.

But I'm frustrated that there's so much stuff I have to remember that I just can't. Other people manage to juggle all the needs on them, but I feel like I always fail, or at the very least that I can't be trusted to be consistent.

 

My wife showed me a TikTok last night of a woman talking about this app, and how useful she finds it. I've just installed it on my Mac, and yeah, it looks like it could be pretty helpful.

It's essentially just a frontend for Chat-GPT, but arranged in a way to be helpful to those of us with executive dysfunction issues.

I'm going to use it a bit over the next couple of weeks to see how good it turns out to be.

Let me know if you try it out. It's worth it for £1/$1.

(I'm not affiliated with the app in any way, just saw it and thought it might be useful to some people.)

 
 

Thought I'd see who's about and whether we could get a thread going on music recommendations from what we're jamming today.

I started off with The Presidents - Dune Buggy as an ear worm, which was very much agreeable.
