OP can you add “unmedicated ADHD” to the title to be a bit more (but still not totally) accurate
What is this community about again?
Wait, what was I going to write?!
Fuckin super.
Bundle that with my history of head trauma and I’m basically guaranteed to get it at this point.
yay.
Good news then. A history of head trauma means you’re more likely to die early of a stroke from a random blood clot than to live long enough and experience dementia.
woo…
Well might as well live a healthy active lifestyle from this point on hoping for the beat outcome
Gotta stack that deck in my favor Though basically everything before 25 could probably be best described as a path of self destruction, the future still isn’t written. I’ve been on the up and up for 6 years now.
It can be done and I believe you can do it.
Good luck!
at this point, just add prions to your diet
At this point it probably wouldn’t change much lol
Well it was nice not knowing all of you
Who this?

What are you all doing in my house?
Well fuck. I’d have been okay not knowing this.
soon you’ll forget anyway
Nice gif
Yay, something else to look forward to besides joint replacement surgeries and more arthritis.
What? Adhd affects joints?
Yeah, we tend to smoke more of them.
3+ decades of dozens of prescriptions, none gave me a moment’s peace.
On the other hand, my little vape has saved the day more times than I can count.
It’s pretty closely connected to EDS/Hypermobility. For many this will be mild though and go unnoticed.
POTS, MCAS (gi issues, allergies) in the ‘chronic triad’
yeah I looked up after and saw that there is an increased correlation between ADHD and hypermobility, I do have Hypermobility.
some more info
Not that I know of… however, I’m a disabled veteran. Jumping out of planes definitely affects joints.
Nice like I dont forget enough things ready. I am going to be so much fun when the dementia hits
One of my grandpas just died this year due to dementia related complications and it is a hell of a way to go. Really hope I dont end up with it getting as bad as I have seen it get before its too late to jump off a bridge.
What’s the risk of looking like Dormammu?
Well that’s just fucking great.
Fuck
Fuck
I forgot what I was going to say
Oh. Yay.
Man, I got enough to worry about, I don’t need this
That’s the beauty of dementia, one of the symptoms is that you usually don’t realize you’re experiencing it.
Not surprised. My memory is already non existent. Lol. Maybe it’s the weed. Maybe it’s the adhd. Who knows.
Blame it on my ADD, baby!
SAIL!
Weed actually ended up improving my memory when I started if only by having tons of practice FINDING THE FUCKDAMN LIGHTER!
