Exploring the Benefits of ADHD

I love how intuitively I connect things. My mind is like a spiderweb and everything connects. Everything is a metaphor for something else.

Just randomly becoming super interested in different things. I went through so many phases like memorizing the U.S. presidents in order, hand anatomy, world flags, instruments, etc.

My favorite thing is I’m so bad with silence and sitting still I am much more social than my anxiety wants me to be. With those combined I want to make people like me so I’ve gotten pretty good at being funny.

I'm very easily distracted which is great when I avoid my problems

There's never a dull moment 😂

The best part about having ADHD is how knowledgeable we get when we get become hyperfocused on a particular subject. I know so much about the human endocannabinoid system and the effects of different cannabinoids on the human body that it's nuts, but it helped when I got a job at a smoke shop. 🤷🏼 You never know when you can use random knowledge lol 😅

I like how easily I can find creative solutions to problems!

being a "jack of all trades" can feel like its not valued so much in jobs or social media but it makes me an interesting friend lol

If I hyperfocus on a work project I can often do a week's worth of work in a day.

the hyper focus and some of the thinking patterns

lmfao nothing. my bank account is drained and my room is full of hobbies i was once convinced i could make into a career. I work on it for weeks sometimes months and then never come back. if anyone else has positives to ADHD i’d love to hear them 😥

Being able to pick up new hobbies really quickly
