An Evening with ADHD
Here I am at 4:30 in the morning, unable to sleep, and I don’t know where my good charger cord is, so my phone is at 32% and plugged into a slow cable that can’t be moved. We have an appointment at 10am. I wonder if I’ll sleep.
Tonight (the night that is still ongoing because I haven’t slept) has been a fight for my life with my ADHD, and tonight (upcoming on 9.10.25) isn’t going to be much easier.
My brain is moving so much faster than I can keep up with and I really want to do everything all at once, and it’s all important, and it’s all urgent, and somehow I still end up scrolling Facebook when I really just went there to cross-post.
The world is on fire and there’s no time to put it out, and I was trapped and forced to wait for so long and it feels like I’m in an avalanche.
Maybe I just need sleep. Maybe I need to attend a PTA meeting from an Open Mic. How am I supposed to know?
But seriously, it’s probably the sleep.
