This behavior is like a broken record for me. Thankfully I usually find another hyperfixation pretty quickly, but I won't lie and say I don't wish I could just stick to 1 or 2 hobbies...😬
My limitless desire for information always gets hindered by my very limited memory.
There's nothing like the ADHD experience of going to google something and immediately forgetting what you were going to search so you have to look through your recent apps to find whatever triggered the thought, but then get distracted in the apps, then just rinse and repeat.😩
I got an official diagnosis yesterday, at the age of 52, for a genetic disease that I’ve been manifesting symptoms of since the age of 5.
I have been ignored and gaslit by the medical community for 47 years.
It only took one doctor to say “your body isn’t responding the way I’d expect, let’s find out why” to get the process started and I am so very grateful for that doctor! But it also took more than 40 years to find that doctor and that’s insane
@Invisiblyillin BTW, gonna drop this here for anybody who might need to know: #EDS & #neurodivergence often go hand in hand. EDS comes with a 7 fold increase in the prevalence of #autism and a 5 fold increase in the prevalence of #ADHD. If your body is weird, there's a good chance your brain is, too.
