The only way I'm able to get anything done is through a combination of tricking myself and gaslighting my brain
Living with ADHD is like being chained to a small, spastic toddler who refuses to let you do your work *until you do what they ask *, no matter how dumb it is.
Yes, I’m looking up the history of Paw Patrol. Yes, I was supposed to be cleaning. No, I cannot switch. We’re looking up Power Puff Girls next.
Just an FYI, that usage of "spastic" is considered an ableist slur. You can use "erratic" in its place.
Excuse me, I consider erratic to be an ableist slur. You can use “all over the fucking place” in its place.

The problem with me trying to gaslight my brain is that I know the guy doing the gaslighting and he's an asshole who is not to be trusted.
No he's not. You just made that up. Its going to be different this time, I swear
Don't believe his lies.
Smart enough to come up with some neat tricks.
Also smart enough to see through those tricks.
