  • I agree with the others to have a bunch of hobbies to pick from. For the record I have been on stims daily, but now I use a non-stim with an occasional boost from a mild stim.

    • I like gaming because there is always a new game to try.
    • I like sewing because I often need to repair something and occasionally I think of something that I can’t buy in a store.
    • I like gardening because I like cooking, and it’s fun to have fresh ingredients that I grew myself.
    • Some people like learning an instrument because there are always new songs and styles to try

    Ultimately, what my ADHD brain craves is novelty, and I can only really get that from a variety in my activities.









  • Edit: one of the answers below made me realize there may differences across generations and localities. I’m an elder millenial, and I’m in the US.

    It depends on where you are, if you’re in a loud bar or a club it’s more common to use the buddy system when going to the bathroom. Sometimes someone will ask you to go with them if they are stressed or annoyed at something and want to talk about it, but that’s rare in my experience.

    Take a lipstick or something and “touch up” your makeup. That way you’re waiting for them without seeming like you’re waiting. But yes, generally you wait until your friend is ready to return. If it’s a crowded restroom it’s okay to wait outside, it’s up to you if you want to tell your friend that you’ll just be outside the door

    It’s okay to say “oh, I’ll go with you” if you also need to use the restroom and it’s not a loud and energetic venue. Sometimes ya just gotta go and don’t realize until someone else is getting up lol
