I also listen to adhd ASMR while sitting at my desk, its the no talking asmr where they mostly scratch their skin and stuff.

What is the job?

Journaling! Brain dump the start and end of every day for 10-20 minutes is all it takes. Jotting down notes or anxieties so you get them out of your system. It’s an exercise in itself. Muscle memory as fingers forming unique individual letters - like doing it by hand - increases muscle memory and can help decrease anxiety. Plus if you carry a small one or a notes pad on your phone - you can capture great ideas on the fly. It’s a meditation in itself: handwriting. It can focus the conscious while you let your subconscious relax. Output over input. Try turning down the volume of the inputs in your brain by turning up the heat on the outputs. Shine your light outputting more than you take in or constantly rebalance that with working out or taking frequent walks or skiing or water sports or pickleball or fun with friends. Novelty. Meet a challenge together.

Being in the Job you LOVE! Exactly

Many people with ADHD have low B12, vitamin D and iron due to poor absorption from SIBO and leaky gut. Also mast cell activation, low level brain inflammation and high histamine (which all lower dopamine), which can be helped by healing the gut and taking natural mast cell stabilisers like curcumin. High protein will help with lower levels of neurotransmitters, exercise increases blood flow to the prefrontal cortex and avoiding refined carbs will prevent blood sugar spikes and crashes which add to mood and focus issues. It makes sense since ADHD meds like adderall and Ritalin increase dopamine in the brain which is needed for proper blood flow to the prefrontal cortex

This just caused a lightbulb moment for me when you said “Love is a stimulant drug.” I am on the spectrum and have ADHD and I constantly find myself falling in love and being in relationships. I think I must have been doing this subconsciously to self medicate!

I thought this was gunna be hokey, but it turned out to be really true

OMG I wasn't expecting the ending. This speaks so perfectly. I am in a limbo trying to figure out what I truly want to do for a career and refuse to be in a job I don't enjoy, but of course, I have so many interests. I do have ADHD and I didn't know that that could be something that triggers or...IDK the word I'm looking for. Anyway, it does something and I've always had a feeling.

Love and adhd isn't that a message, AMEN!!!!

I always told myself I'd have to eventually make myself choose a permanent job, but at some point I thought, you know, why not be a permanent temp? I can do whatever I want with my life. And I've been temping ever since. The stigma of being a temp at 40 years old is definitely something you have to suck up and learn to accept. Can't base my self-worth off of other people's perception of me, that's for sure.

I want to be a full time artist, but as i need money to pay my bills now, i don't have the time nor energy to pursue that ambition on the side, and therefor i am stuck with a job that is driving me both crazy and soulless by the day. My dream has become a hobby while my health is declining. As advised by my neurologist, i need 10-12 hours of sleep per night because i run out of energy real fast and use a lot of time to recharge. It gets depressing real fast when i keep that sleep schedule as that makes my life into a literal work-sleep-work-sleep nightmare. I'm often lacking in sleep cause i want a life. I ofc need a good and helpful diet as well, but my adhd gives me no dopamine from food, often half way through my meal which i could be very much enjoying, it becomes the most horrible food i've ever put in my mouth, leaving me to stop eating. It's like i repulsively grow bored with it. Doesn't help that i completely forget to eat most days because i'm too focused on what ever i'm doing while leaving my body to adapt to ignoring hunger signs. I'm also not able to eat big meals when i'm stressed, too focused, or anxious. Which my job is an expert at making me feel for 8 hours while having me walk on average 13-16k steps a day. I barely eat anything on work days, and on those few days off i desperately try to do art and proceeds to ignore all hunger signs as i'm too busy with my art. I recently bought a blender to make high calorie shakes, so i'm hoping that will help a bit. I have a very fast metabolism, as in, my doctor actually had me do some extreme food intake tests to check. I'm slightly underweight because of all of this combines and i therefor am not allowed any adhd meds. It doesn't feel good having the people around me look at my underweight body absolutely wondering if i have an eating disorder. I don't. If anything, i got disordered eating. If only i could just teleport all the food i need into my stomach. I want do gain weight so i can take my meds. It's just really difficult when your brain is working against you just because it can't find a damn dopamine hit in it. Guess i'll try magnesium next.

TY Dr.

I love Dr. Amen!!! He helped me soooo much! I can't afford to go to his clinic but just listening to him online and reading his books it's been extremely helpful!! Thank you Dr. Amen

I was in nature all day, learning about this wetland that was restored. I wanted to restore ecosystems like they did.

Since my Mother passed away from CJD she was gone in 6 months .I look at the brain differently now .Everything you are saying is exactly what I thought !! Look at the brain first and everything else falls in line .Would love to talk ❤

His point is valid. ive been around decades enough to look back and see that ADHD yucky shit was absent for long periods(unaware adhd) There is no Constancy! Dependent on love,marriage,work i enjoyed,parenting. My circumstance changed it all up !! But always did the talks waaay too much. Can't fake the feel goods.

My brain is always busy once I stop exercising, I like exercise that’s fun and competitive.

Doesn't help much. Neurofeedback is best from my experience. I do agree with doing what you love. Being depressed with a poor routine and without training really doesn't help.

Learn to phrase your goals in terms of how they are helping increase your autonomy, competence, and relatedness needs. Saftey and need for stimulation too. But seeking saftey can also be seeking the ability to learn to tolerate taking risks better.

I love the two last pieces of advice ❤❤❤❤❤

At a job I love and have symptoms… emotional dis regulation- snappy- not able to use my words effectively to stay in good standing, complaints of me being too honest or blunt… it just rolls out and is the truth and I don’t see it as worth being fired when it’s obvious facts I’m saying. Still love my career but could be hard after being fired over a billion times for the same thing…why? We have no hindsight or foresight!! We forget what happened the last time and don’t think of consequences for saying or doing things again… it’s an impulse. These symptoms cause the depression because we can’t seem to stop this same train for derailing a million times. How do we secure our future and reach our goals? If we can stay the task and forget our goals and forget the behaviors we wrote down to do to reach the goal and we find our list of things to do and have to behave and then forget why we are doing all of that…. Hey!! It’s to reach some goal….🤔 now what goal was that? We have a million!!

All of the jobs I love take more than couple months of studying to get into, which is IMPOSSIBLE
