    Huijarit keksivät uuden tavan kalastella ihmisten tietoja: ”tullimaksupyyntö” tulee samasta numerosta kuin Postin oikeat tekstiviestit
  • Mulla on muutama tämmönen tullu sähköpostissa ja naureskelin kun en enää asu Suomessa että siinähän maksan tullit väärään maahan.

    What is the most annoying ADHD trait that you have?
  • I've got a good memory, but talking with my partner he will often say "I told you this before" and it's just completely gone over my head cause I've been slightly distracted. I'll be listening but things don't seem to register and it's worse when I'm distracted by the fact that I am having to put so much effort into listening. Edit: typo

    What started your addiction to drugs, and how did you get clean?
  • I wasn't a black out drunk, mainly cause it didn't take much to make me drunk, but I couldn't stop once I started either. First I hold out on drinking during the week, then I'd have drinks on the evening, then a drink before work then decided to quit before it got further out of hand.

    I hope you find the motivation to quit cause honestly drinking is such a waste of time. I genuinely believe all you need is to believe you can.

    What are your "favorite" chores and how did you make them ADHD-friendly?
  • I enjoy washing dishes, but only once I've started or when I don't have to do it... So I try and trick myself into thinking I'll just wash a few things, half-assing something is better than not doing it at all, right? I end up usually washing most or all of it anyway. I can do it scatterbrained, like wash some, dry some, put some away, wash a few more. I don't have to focus on just washing. And I'll sing along to the radio and look through the kitchen window and see what the dog is doing.

    I also put the dish washing liquid into a pump dispenser and inside the handle of the dish sponge to make the process easier.

    I'm busy that day
  • I've gotten into a habit of "I'll do it right now so I don't have time to become anxious" and so I've gotten better about making calls now.

    For those unmedicated, how do you manage?
  • I am managing and kind of not managing really. Recently quit smoking and vaping and went off coffee so my brain has been a bit frazzled. But it's getting back to normal.

    Biggest help is working longer hours but fewer days and having my shift segmented so that I get downtime between busy hours. I do three days a week and on a workday don't pressure myself to do any housework. On my days off I'll catch up on sleep and housework.

    I also have a diagnosis for autism so to me it seems like I can manage some symptoms of my ADHD easier thanks to ASD. But I also then seek a simple life and don't do anything much besides work and looking after my dog and my partner. I'll go out when I'm on holiday.

  • ...but at the same time want to hold on to useless stuff or hobby stuff you don't have the energy to do. I feel like if I didn't have so much stuff I wouldn't have all the clutter to make me feel anxious, like there's just so much stuff. I have a very small wardrobe (well, boxes of clothes since I haven't had the energy to go an buy a wardrobe) with mainly work related clothes, but that's the only thing that I've managed to keep minimal and tidy.

    I know the clutter is mainly stuff I could try and keep in trays/open boxes to help maintain it but also going shopping for the right kind of trays seems overwhelming.
