You've heard of "fidgety boy ADHD", you may even know of "away with the fairies" ADHD, but tonight I give to you....*drum roll*

"Overthinking/highly strung ADHD"

Signs you may fit the stereotype below...
You overcommit to too many activities/projects/people and you're always on the brink of burning because in your head dropping anything would make you a terrible person
You are at the top of your game in the thing you excel at but secretly you feel like you're failing big time in other areas of your life- but you tell yourself it's just because things are so BUSY lately, but you've been saying that for 5 years
You are at least 15 minutes early to EVERYTHING, but you don't want to put anyone out or make a weird impression so instead of going in when you arrive, you awkwardly lurk until 5 minutes before it starts
You make comments to yourself like "well, I can't go buy new shoes THIS week, THIS week I have to focus on work" but also you're now down to your last pair of comfy shoes so yes, it actually needs to be this week
You're still thinking about that comment your coworker made two months ago about how "perky" you are because you're now hyper aware of your enthusiasm and worried it is in fact "too much" but you're also annoyed because the whole energetic vibe is a mask in the first place.
Anyway yes, this is a self roast of past and (some of) present me, but I want more "stressed to the MAX and held together by google calendar" visibility 😅

What type of ADHD are you?

I have never experienced racism and am spending my time on Twitter atm learning from and retweeting Black voices. But for those of my followers who are also white, I wanted to share "Ring Theory" which is a concept that helps me when I feel my white fragility kicking in. 1/n
Ring Theory involves drawing a circle and writing the person or people at the center of a crisis inside of it. Then you draw a bigger circle around it, and put those closest to that person/people, and another with the next closest, and so on, until you get something like this:
When something bad happens in the world, I think about where I and the people in my life sit in regards to it, and act from there. Support goes to those impacted more than me, and comes from those impacted less than me. If you're white, you are ALWAYS impacted less by racism.
