If you ever feel too bad about your art or writing to start something, don't You'll find your style and you'll grow with time. I think you deserve to create things and be heard, even if what you do is full of spelling mistakes or isn't perfect
I’d like to think of myself as pretty professional when it comes to work, but I simply forgot to add 2 pages i had drawn to my book script. How do I explain this to my editor? “Oh I forgot those pages lol”? And I just forgot about a meeting yesterday I was looking forward to -
Ok, I know I often have issues just getting up and starting a task that will only take me 5 minutes in the end. But WHY is that? What happens in my brain? This topic is intricate and hard to explain in simple terms - I gave it my best shot, so please excuse the masses of text!
This is a good example of something I used to beat myself up for, for YEARS, and just caught myself doing it again: leaving random bits of trash on the bathroom shelf. The solution? Stop hating on yourself and look for what’s missing: for me - a tiny trash can right there!
Not sure what's happening and if this site will still be there when I wake up tomorrow, so please make sure to follow me on other sites as well! Previews for the upcoming comics, 5/6 are parts of "how to cope with not being able to start"
I was in a workshop the other day where someone was detailing how they, compared to others, show respect by not fidgeting and keeping eye-contact with people. So yeah, I felt the need to make this comic. Keep in mind: This isn't an ADHD specific problem and depending on-
I don’t think I have ever really related to being “spontaneous” as an ADHDer until I figured out I was masking and experiencing two sides: One who spontaneously throws all reason aside in order to buy something stupid And one who tries to prevent these “mistakes” at any cost
If anyone has been wondering where I am - I am here! I’m working on the next comic right now and it’s the most difficult one yet. It’s no secret that I’m not a medical professional, but that means spending a long time on making things correct (and understandable!)
I've done it again, I've stopped taking medication/ only took a small dosis for WEEKS now, subconsciously thinking that not taking meds is better for me, just to end up feeling more and more depressed and like life is going nowhere for me.
My mother offered to help me with work but I said I had to draw so she wouldn’t be able to, so she sent me this to prove me wrong and dare I say, it’s perfect
I saw a girl with a cool outfit in the city and wanted to ask if they have an instagram with outfits so I can use them as reference but I think I instead made it sound like I wanted their contacts because I'm interested in them why am I so embarassing
I have to share this German video about ADHD (ADHS) because it’s calling me out in the literal first 5 seconds. I bought several kilos of clay and a whole kiln just to abandon pottery as a hobby before I have finished a single piece 😹
I just remembered getting the ‘advice’ to not tell anyone ever that I have ADHD, including friends and other family, several times by different people. It’s kind of weird when someone tells you “I shouldn’t be knowing that about you” when it’s a big part of my life.
So, I just had a realization. I always thought all focus is good focus, but I noticed that when I have issues focusing, I end up focusing on the easiest, most readily available thing. I might feel good about being able to focus on *something*, but in the end, I don‘t progress.
