And then we cry from overstimulation and have to use the sponge to soak up our own tears 😅😂

Ryan Mitchell :
The sponge metaphor is perfect. Everyone else has a filter — we have absorption. And nobody teaches you that you're allowed to wring it out.

yup... also when 2 or more ADHD get together i call that the magical time. Those who are not ADHD cannot understand.

Daily overstimulation ist a thing, but our masks are so perfect, that we get exhausted so much

I haven't been diagnosed yet, and I only have speculation that I might have ADHD (yes, I'm aware self diagnosis isn't reliable and I should go to a professional, but I currently don't have the means), but this is exactly how I describe myself. I feel like a sponge that absorbs every single thing. I love my friends and want to be there for them all the time, but when they vent and start emitting negative energy, it starts affecting me too and I have to step back for a while before I can be properly there for them. It sucks because it makes me feel like a bad person for not responding immediately even though I'm aware that I'm not ready to handle it either.

My brain is an old laptop it can only open up so many tabs / pages before it has trouble processing trys to rebuffer, refresh but its glitching because it’s running faster than the technology allows and cannot keep up running & processing then it gives the blue screen of death and shuts down. This is why if I have too many tasks I need to complete 1 or 2 may get completed but like the old laptop you may revive it but it has wiped lost the saved tabs pages and they no longer exist. Same with overstimulation I’m running faster than the technology and I’m pushing it to brink the breaking point.

We are multiple dimensional beings , existing on multiple plains if existence at once simultaneously. This is why our brains are over stimulated, alot going on.

Thank you les gens ne comprennent pas ça...c’est pour cette raison que l’on est dans l’OBLIGATION de s’isoler du monde un moment pour protéger et réguler nos émotions...et recharger notre batterie sociale...on absorbe tout...le monde du travail est une torture pour nous car on se retrouve à supporter une journée entière des interactions sociales qui finissent par nous épuiser...et quand on cherche à s’isoler 1h pendant la pause déj...ce qui est vital pour nous...on nous reproche de ne pas déjeuner avec ces collègues, de rester dans son coin, de s’isoler quelques minutes...

Do ADHDers violence? Hate bullies, being provoked and proud people and feel like getting rid of them?

If your brain turns every small problem into ten new problems, Clara Hartley's anxiety quiz might help you recognize why that keeps happening. It only takes a few minutes to complete and gives you lots of insight
