Happy Hump Day!! Some ADHD memes for everyone 😁

[Glisten]

The last meme 👍🏼

[greenspace]

thank you @Jynx for those memes. I was sitting staring at my laptop, feeling tired and sad, thinking about going to bed for the night even though it's not yet 7.30pm, then I clicked on the SANE forums tab (which I've decided to keep open, to remind myself to connect with the forum family), clicked on your post about ADHD memes, and read through them. 

several of the memes made me literally laugh out loud (mostly that embarrassed/amused self-recognition laugh), and I've saved a few to my laptop -- Thor & Bruce, it's bedtime, Is it though? 😆 , ADHD Gothic ✨🖤, Not to brag...forget while I'm doing it, Every visible surface, and Overexplaining to Avoid Misunderstanding 🙃 

That really lifted my spirits 🙂 still tired, but might watch an episode or two of a satirical sitcom, have a few more laughs. And take my evening meds. Laughter is good medicine, and so is taking my meds 😄 

Hope you're going well @Jynx @Glisten @Shaz51 @Paperdaisy @RiverSeal @Neuro_Spicy @ArraDreaming

Feel free to visit Jynx's The Ice-Memery . That lifts me up too.

Not adhd specific but a life hack?
recently discovered the full capacity of the iPhone Weather app.
Ummm you can set it so it will literally tell you with a notification “raining in 3 mins” “rain will start at 9:22 and stop in 8 minutes” “rain stopping in 7 minutes”
And it is SO HANDY and weirdly accurate

Just when you think it can get any worse…. I was diagnosed with ADHD over 20 years ago, and given it wasn’t that well known, I was diagnosed and treated by a child psychiatrist for some time. As things currently stand my ADHD medications have now been added to the list of medications that I no longer have access too ( I had to stop taking anti anxiety medication 12 months ago being a used if being a “doctor shopping addict ). With the ADHD medication I have been a used of obtaining medication for the purpose of selling these on the “ black  market “  Apparently if I want to continue taking this medication I have to present myself for a supervised urine drug screen on every visit ( which is a 3+ hour  drive to $$ psychiatrist and I’m not working due to my current mental illness ) In addition to eloping manage my chaotic life, the ADHD medication also give me some respite from BED and reduce depression. Some may say that it’s only a urine screen, however thanks to another monster that resides in my head

a.k.a my BPD nemesis, with a dusting of PTSD it’s impossible. 
OK so how does this relate. It has a small amount to do with doctors only prescribing dosages for certain medication at a level they feel comfortable with. I’m a fast metaboliser so not only does dosage need to reflect this, but I also clear drugs from my system faster ( this probable explains the first negative UDS I result…..) I have always totally loathed myself as a person, being labelled like has my proves my worthlessness ( thanks BPD brain). I won’t be returning to the doctors anytime soon.
