ADHD is really hard sometimes. One thing I do is I doodle while I listen, and doodle things about the thing I am supposed to be listening to.
For example - my English teacher was reading so I was doodling about the book
@JuliaEWriter Doodling helps me too! I used to doodle in class, and it helped me pay attention. Now I realize it was helping my ADHD so I could listen more fully.
Hi! I had adhd too! What are some of your biggest challenges with coping ?
Starting on the repetitive work task that is still very necessary 🥲. But i found an app that is helping me now - focusmate!
@politeCake538 Thanks for mentioning the app you found. I hope FocusMate keeps helping you.
I just started using Apple Focus on my phone to block out the text messages and notifications and keep most people from calling me. It really helped because it could also show my family that I am in "work focus" so I don't have to tell them in advance why I'm not responding.
@politeCake538
me personally it helps to distract my hands, it usually annoys my family but I don’t care, just braiding and unbraiding my hair and stuff
We do what we gotta do 😂🥹
Hiya! Undiagnosed but 99.9% sure I have ADHD as well.
