Been a while so hey, why not a re- #introduction.
I’m mj - gen X, bi/pan genderfluid (she/they), recently diagnosed with ADHD and still in the throes of “oh THAT EXPLAINS IT”. Texan turned New Yorker turned Michigander. Cat parent, crafter, bookworm, pianist, nerd, collector of hobbies, queso lover. Let’s get comfy and talk about time travel.
Also I want to make it clear that I’m not slamming my friend here, but rather laughing over how ridiculous I am. 😛
-if my daily routine changes AT ALL I can’t tell what day it is for the rest of the week. Once in college I nearly missed a final because I assumed it was a different day than it actually was.
-“at any given time I’m having at least three conversations in my head”
-I wrote every single school report the last couple weeks before it was due.
-same thing with original compositions for end of year piano recital.
-I used to warn people I’m a chronic, unintentional eavesdropper and I can’t turn it off.
“How the hell did no one wonder if I had adhd” random thoughts:
-I have 1000 hobbies. Most of them are because one day I thought “I really want I learn how to make that” and then obsessed over it/did nothing but that until the juice ran out
-as a kid I could only remember things if I wrote them on my hand. I could never successfully use a planner because I’d forget it existed.
-I get burnt out on foods “easily” (aka. food hyperfixation is A Thing and when it wears off….ughhhh)
(this is a Michigan-specific joke. our governor is Gretchen Whitmer, not Gretchen Wieners.)
