An *actual* Productive ADHD Day!!

[@thepricklypearsociety]

Things I learned other people do today: sit in the car before finally convincing themselves to go inside and dark showers 😂 I always love feeling so seen when I watch your videos. ❤

[@Hinoki352]

Those were the same two for me!!! Well, and hyperfixation alert obvi

[@dariosergevna]

Dark shower means shower with no lights on?

[@greynurse6865]

I didn’t know anyone else sat in the car, and I’ve been dark showering for decades 😮

[@MadameSarah]

SAME TWO FOR ME!!!!!

[@keiki111]

Why is sitting in the car something we love to do? I do it a lot especially since my toddler has turned into a little demon of a rascal😂

[@starscream319]

Not me watching this in my car while trying to convince myself to go inside 🙃

[@emilyb5557]

Haha yup it's definitely a thing for some of us.

[@lotusflower3613]

Yes!!!

[@dianavega6081]

I didn't know it was a thing. I do this all the time when I drive alone.

[@tammystiletto]

Omg I thought I was the weird one. It’s so hard sometimes wth? Lol

[@Gir0Fan0Number01]

Same! Every day after work. It's car chillin time. It just feels like a short reset in a way before switching to at home mode

[@JlNXED]

The dark shower is so accurate my mom always asked me what I’m doing in the dark, it’s because sometimes I feel so overstimulated I need to block it all out and relax

[@ninanano2777]

I also love dark showers

[@raehawkins7655]

i’ve never tried it, i’m gonna try it this weekend :)

[@Blazin-im6de]

​@@raehawkins7655Was it as good as advertised? I may need to try this, but scared of a demon just waiting to pounce 🤣

[@JustMe_OhWell]

Yes I used to take candle lit baths and decompress. 💚

[@MurielROT]

The dark shower, the sitting in the driveway for like 20 minutes before finally getting out of the car, and the just random “yelling” to relieve stress or whatever are such a big mood

[@ninja_gurl2890]

The screaming 💀💀 felt seen heard though. Love it!!

[@appleonaya2659]

the sitting in the car hyping myself up or convincing myself to go in...yesss!!! Thank you!

[@nicoleekristenn]

I gotta start letting my inner demons out first thing like this

[@mashakiseleva7083]

I think being able to put yourself together in the morning fast enough to put make up on for seeing friends is a huge success. I’m not there yet :(

[@suzannaflores1164]

One step at a time! It's a great place to be :)

[@mimilapin]

same, idk how she does all this in one day

[@blasstois]

DARK SHOWERS. The best.

[@MisterBibby]

Thank you for showing the pauses before going in and doing things, really relatable! And so hard to explain to people 😆 The realistic side to a good day! Awesome short!

[@adamtobin8132]

I thought I was the only one who loved dark showers!!!! Proud of you. That was an awesome day. Thanks for sharing and being vulnerable.

[@flowmovementtherapy2096]

I'm curious how you don't have accidents being in a slippery wet place with sharp corners and hard tiles in the dark? I get how it would be less stimulating. But I'd be terrified of having an accident.

[@adamtobin8132]

Well I’ve been using this specific bathroom for 30 years so it’s like an extension of my body.

[@tinaday189]

​@@flowmovementtherapy2096I do dark showers too, and have a single coloured LED candle on the counter, that's enough light while keeping it cozy and relaxing

[@silkyhank]

​@@flowmovementtherapy2096 I use a nightlight next to the sink. The shower curtain blocks the light when it's closed but you can see enough when you get out.

[@theyoftheravens]

​@@flowmovementtherapy2096grippy stickers (not a mat, those can be slippy and another thing to clean) on the tub floor help a lot. There's even glow in the dark ones! 😮💛 I also have a remote control puck light above the shower head and having it on a yellow/orange color on the dimmest setting means if I have a headache it doesn't make my eyes burn and hurt.

[@Green2Red2]

Ohhhh the Dark Shower! Haven't done that in YEARS! 👍👍 Also didn't know it was a 'thing'.

[@beatyz2]

That quick startle-thing/your wrapping yourself up movement you did right before getting out of the car is the truest ADHD thing

[@EmmaLaughland]

The pillow screaming is so real 😂 I feel seen and heard

[@perryanne660]

The sitting in your car for an unreasonable amount of time because you just can’t get out is so me and so ADHD to a T 😅

[@dianavega6081]

I love it when I find videos and comments of people like me. 🥹 I feel so not weird or alone. It makes me feel more "normal". 🥰

[@dianavega6081]

But I also wonder...why is it so hard to just get out of the car?

[@AndreaLikesMusic]

That stroll looked *so* casual 🤣🤣💀

[@tnk4me4]

Screaming in your pillow when you wake up is such an underrated momentum tip. Thank you😅

[@serenkeating7672]

I actually managed to keep a nighttime routine going for a good few months when i got a second set of earlobe piercings. I'd had a Reaction when i first switched out my earrings in my first pair because apparently the post on the earrings i changed to was too short, so I spent six months paranoid about an infection, and i guess that transferred over to the new piercings a decade later. I managed to fold skincare, brushing teeth, cleaning my ears and simple prayer into a small devotational ceremony and kept it up for several months. That was probably the best my skin ever looked lol

[@Number81ght]

I struggled to keep on top of my piercings too. Ended up keeping an anti-septic spray bottle in every place I usually go/sit, and set alarms. Always ended up spraying it at least once, when I actually bothered.

[@crystald3655]

I would link piercing care to something you already regularly do like letting the dog out for the first time and last time or brushing teeth etc. any well established habit will work.

[@Number81ght]

@@crystald3655 most people get used to it, but I (unfortunately) tend to neglect hygiene. I have autism, and one of the things with it is hygiene neglect. I forget to shower, brush my teeth, and clean piercings. I tend to only shower when I remember too, which is usually the day before I have to go somewhere. Same for brushing my teeth. I only remember day of. This is why I had to set alarms. I would forget they were there and leave it. I have to do the same with medication.

[@-Annn-]

Don't overclean, your skin is going to hate that and that won't help it heal.

[@-Annn-]

​@@Number81ghtis your piercing giving you any trouble at the moment?

[@Number81ght]

@@-Annn- not anymore luckily. Had them for about 7 months now. They bleed sometimes, but I keep changing the piercing, so it keeps irritating them. They've calmed down recently though

[@shokked]

I love the positive attitude you show in the video 😂

[@HeyJade_]

The fact that you accomplished 11 tasks though!! 👏👏 For me today, I woke up around noonish and got up way later because I watched KZbin before I couldn’t hold my bladder anymore.. then I washed the dishes, did 1.5 loads of laundry, took out the trash, got supper, and then played Minecraft with my 9yr old cousin and played 4 hours after he got off.. now I’m finally in bed at 2:00 in the morning.. 5 tasks for me😅 (yes, I only ate once)

[@MotherNaturesEdge]

Why is it so hard to transition between tasks???? The sitting in the car is so relatable

[@mogwai_]

Yeah I scream about that much too, good to know other people are just gently screaming through the day

[@Bellasmiles1979]

I have always taken dark showers. It’s the only way to calm my racing thoughts. Otherwise, I’d go nuts trying to complete a shower.

[@ChefChrisDay]

Adorable and highly accurate in a way rhat speaks to me

[@andrewpalmer1873]

At the pace your dogs going, I’m not surprised you decided to pick up running 😅

[@mattcat65]

At the pace your dog is going, why bother running? You're already getting all the exercise 😂

[@lindaanderson1016]

Oh, in good weather I love to sit in my car surrounded by my FL bushes, flowers - the best part of my mostly unkempt large property!!! Years ago as mom of big fam, I enjoyed those minutes alone so much. THANKS!

[@niqy9778]

New hyper fixation aluuuuurt 📢📢📢 Also the shower in the dark to match your mood is a total mood Omg it’s a thing I totally do that too

[@NoDaylightASMR]

I love dark showers!!! They’re so helpful! My mom tells me I’m weird but she hasn’t tried it so how would she know.

[@elenid7530]

Dudeee I feel so seen, I almost need this to be a series 😭 it's been such a struggle lately to feel productive and normal when I haven't been able to even care for myself. Like the dark thoughts get worse when your body feels bad too, ya know?

[@Cschlesinger908]

I so the dark showers in the morning when im still groggy/ tired. Helps the wake up process.

[@Idk10704]

So proud of you with the running!! You looked like you were happy in the moment! I know being outside always helps my mental state. You were amazingly productive. I had plans to be today. That didn't happen. Tomorrow though? Pssshh tomorrow its going down! 🤪

[@artbookgaming]

I love dark showers! So comforting! It's heaven for dealing with my sensory issues.

[@MrsW0f0rd]

The screaming and the sitting in the car psyching yourself up. Omg yes

[@DemeJackson]

How did she get so much done 🤯 seeing all that, plus the fast talking overwhelmed me

[@francescaippolito2020]

I feel better that I’m not the only one who screams in my car

[@Musicismysanity29]

I didn't think other people sat in their car like I do. Part of me is too tired to get up and the other part of me is too scared to go inside the house.

[@rhyla5719]

.... I know the sit-in-car... it's the solitude and peace before facing all the procrastination problems and/or family stress/judgment/expectations.....

[@cryptic_cuties5875]

The sitting in the car for 15 to 20 minutes is so real. The transition from my car is so hard.

[@namenotfound7731]

Shower or bath by candle light, or the most minimum light, is so relaxing.

[@kaayde]

It's the sitting in the car after you've parked for 15-20 mins that always gets me. At some point I contemplate just staying in there for the night 🤣

[@Sharkuterie327]

I had a dark shower last night lol. There is one of those red heat lamps in the bathroom which makes it extra low-key horror movie fodder. 😂

[@Chmmr]

"supposed to do it twice a day but i do it twice a week" is so real

[@BladefireA]

The sitting in the car for 20 minutes before going inside thing is so real

[@packattack931]

I relate to you so much. I’m proud of you for just randomly screaming. Better out than in!

[@Darinadon]

I feel like I should start screaming out loud like you do 😂😂 because I'm doing it silently... And sitting down trying to convince myself to move is very relatable, i don't do it in a car though because i don't have one, i do it at work... or at home, so I prefer to actually do everything before I sit down at home, otherwise it can take me hours to get up and do anything

[@LML1415]

I love the waiting in the driveway! So real

[@user-is3lk7yt1e]

Love the dark shower part- I have the big clear vanity bulbs along my long sink in my bathroom- never comes on. I have a pink bulb behind a white curtain by my washer and dryer and it stays on 24/7. My showers are in muted dark pink and at night it’s enough light to use the restroom. I do my makeup in my room with skylights- and I’m ready for that because the calm morning shower routine. Its been a year- same bulb- it changed my life 😊

[@lincymoonen228]

The dogwalks 😂😂😂😂

[@chaoticgemini8564]

When you mentioned the 15 - 20 minutes in the driveway, I had to laugh 😂 lol I JUST got in from sitting in my car for 20 minutes or so 🤣 lol

[@georgiafay5170]

Dark showers sound terrifying! The dark is when the shower demons are most stare-y. 😂

[@crystald3655]

It doesn't have to be totally dark but not having bright lights on can help with overstimulation

[@georgiafay5170]

@@crystald3655 oooooooh! That sound much less scary! 😁

[@efingkangaroo]

omg,not sitting in the car summoning the energy to walk inside! Something I only need to do when I'm mad stressed/overwhelmed, but ohhh man have i been doing it a lot lately...

The "15/20 minutes before go" is me when i wake up before getting put of bed 🤣

[@somaliaford1475]

Yo that dark shower looked heavenly !! I personally take dark baths 😂

[@MattP8143]

I really relate to the long pauses before moving on to a different task... I didn't know that's an ADHD thing. 😅🥴

the twice a week hit hard😭❤️

[@annonomoos8620]

I heard that Canuck "couch"! Never realized you were Canadian until now 🇨🇦❤️

[@mysenfandei]

For me, putting on make up has become part of my morning routine. I use waterproof eye make up and super stay lipstick that actually stays on my lip all day. However... 80% of the time, I forget to remove my make up in the evening (or just can't motivate myself to it). Which means I wake up with my lips still partially covered in red lipstick and my eyes full panda mode.

[@jessicacody7264]

You've inspired me to be stop being naked in a robe and actually be a people today! My doggos thank you!

[@SweetlyDarkArt]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that takes their time getting out of their vehicle when they get home.😅 I just have to.... process.

Oh my God I love dark bass and dark showers I feel you

[@minniemouse5863]

This was comforting

[@Cagedbird1988]

"They told me to do it twice a day. I do it twice a week." Truth bomb right there. I'm supposed to take meds daily, but every psych appointment ends up being "wellll...I've kind of forgotten to take them for the past month. Except two Tuesdays ago. I took some then." 🙃
