#TIL that #ADHD affects similar areas of the brain that get affected when a person experiences trauma. So at varying levels, those of us who have ADHD *can* be walking around with a form of #PTSD as well.

"...And then there are those of us with #anxiety and #depression. There are those of us with #ADHD. My feeling anxious and depressed when I consider the state of the universe is a natural and healthy response...."

@sidereal @fixiemama @futurebird (Oh! And DAVE = #DopamineAttentionVariabilityExecutiveDysfunction, a far more accurate term invented by Connor DeWolfe. 😊🤘🖖)

Oh! And since then, I've also been diagnosed with #ADHD!

WHICH EXPLAINS A LOT

ADHD "guru" #ConnorDeWolfe taught me the acronym #DAVE, which I think is a much better nomer than ADHD.

#AttentionDeficitHyperactivityDisorder sounds like something a neurotypical person might use to categorize my ways of being that the person considered bothersome.

#DopamineAttentionVariabilityExecutivedysfunction is FAR more accurate in describing what it's like to be my brain.

Hi. I'm Courtney, and I have DAVE.

Spouse is helping 11yo with her #math homework

Him: Okay, so how would you start solving this problem.

Her *thoughtfully*: ...Not do it?

I mean, I can't blame her.

Math is hard for us #ADHD brains.

LATEST DISCOVERY

Today is my second ever day of #ADHD meds, and I am realizing that I might need to set myself stricter limits on my #coffee intake from now on.

I just now forgot the word "slices," so I put "flat almond pieces" on my grocery list.

If anyone needs me, I'll be over here not braining in the least bit

Speaking of #ADHD, I should've been in bed an hour ago, but I can't seem to make myself get up and go get ready and actually get in the bed.

*SIGH*

Okay, here I go...

Discussing 10yo's ADHD with her after supper. We were snacking on chocolate chips, and she suddenly says, "Look! A poop on a Christmas present!" Case in point. 😆

I have not been officially diagnosed with #DAVE (aka #ADHD), but my friends who have it also believe, based on my thought patterns and behaviors, that I have it.

I might not have a medical diagnosis, but my condition *has* been peer reviewed.
