I'm looking forward to no more of having feddit autocorrect to reddit, then me getting confused how I ended up in the wrong place because I didn't check.

Exactly. Banning tobacco outright isn't going to stop smoking, it'll just create a black market. And we know how effective that has been for 'real' drugs. Smoking has been naturally declining in popularity anyway, so it really just feels like Tory posturing.

Alex Jones has a tendency to do a similar thing, mixing fiction with reality. It's remarkable how these delusional people continue to maintain so much influence over so many people.

For me it's a combination of extreme tiredness - particularly in the morning - and constant racing thoughts. It's made work really difficult. Fingers crossed you get some meds soon!

Oh yea and I basically have the munchies.

I'll get back to it. Just like I got back to playing bass, using the Dreamcast I never had as a kid, learning Python, messing with my Raspberry Pi and learning Spanish.

Sure, I'll get back to it.

You ever try lugging a toilet up a flight of stairs?

Okay, first of all calling people that use Chromebooks "slow" is maybe a little too far, maybe rein that in a little.

I can tell you from years of experience that using a Windows device isn't a qualifier for being tech literate at all; the large majority of people don't make any effort to learn how to use their device effectively, regardless of which OS it's running.

In my organisation we'd tried giving Chromebooks to users with basic needs but very often they'd return it saying "it's not good enough". We'd check the usage reports and so many of them had apparently come to this decision within 30 minutes. We'd give them a Windows device instead and they'd still raise support tickets for basic, Google-able things like setting default apps and how to unmute their sound.

I have this theory that some people are 'computer people', in the same way some are dog people or cat people. Everyone else just doesn't know how to have a 'relationship' with a computer and they get frustrated when they can't immediately understand it.

For clarity, I've also not played since I was a kid. But it's definitely possible to improve, especially if it's been a long time since you played consistently. Remember it's "only" Sunday league; no one is expecting you to be the next Jamie Vardy. It's admirable that you're taking it up again off your own back. Give it time and don't pressure yourself too much.

If you keep misplacing something, keep it in a set place or places in each room and discipline yourself in doing so until it becomes habit.

It's usually best to put something in the first place you think of when trying to find it, even if it might look out of place there.

As an extension to this, I've found putting most of my day-to-day things in a bag/backpack etc. helps the most. It's whatever works best for you but I always keep my keys, meds, cards and a USB cable in my bag, and that goes out with me basically everywhere. Just make sure you're not carrying half your life around with you!

I hope that this can be a positive, safe space for discussion around ADHD in the UK.

Please feel free to get involved. Rant if you must.

Rules can be found in the sidebar.

To get things started I'll occasionally post general tips (I guess the kids would call them "hacks") on dealing with ADHD day-to-day.

A~~n icon and~~ banner will be added at some point.

~~I'll also add some links to other ADHD spaces in the Lemmy-sphere to the sidebar once the influx of new users has settled down and we have more clear-cut communities taking shape.~~

For now, remember to eat and stay hydrated. The doomscrolling can wait!

Update 1: An icon has been added. The banner will be added whenever I'm struck by inspiration. If anyone has any suggestions for it then please DM it to me

Update 2: Made rules less wordy. Added 'Other Communities' and 'Other Resources' to sidebar.
