My journalling prompt says I should unblock myself. Just write and see what comes out. That seems right about now. I’m feeling very blocked.

Today I am grateful for gratitude. Telling people about the positive impact they have on your life is rewarding for everyone involved. I love the way giving gratitude makes me feel.
Hypercrash
Hyperfocus. This is one of the first things I learned about ADHD. It describes our ability as ADHDers to lose ourselves to hobbies or research, forsaking everything around us, sometimes for hours at a time. It’s how I lose entire days to games, creating music and sometimes even to work. But it can come at a price.

I’m not sure how I discovered or where I first heard the album Skin and Bones by The Foo Fighters but I’ve always considered it my favourite of theirs. There’s some absolute gems on this album, essentially like a “Foos Unplugged”, paired back, mellow versions of the songs we all know and love.

I can’t get to sleep
I enjoy it when I discover that bands and artists who had massive hits also have surprising lesser known gems in their back catalogues. I enjoy it even more when those gems are either covered in other styles or, even better, are revisited by the artists themselves.
This in one such revisited gem.

Obsessing. Hyperfocusing. Getting lost to distractions. Being a “research junkie”. These are all behaviours (or a single behaviour by many different names) that a lot of people with ADHD probably resonate with. I know I regularly do, and today is absolutely no exception.
