@Wretched Right? ADHD treatment is so not ADHD friendly.

Pffffffft, twice? Buddy, I think 6 times before most people finish the first thought, each successive thought more meandering and incomprehensible than the last! By the time you finish that second thought, I've already gone POW! to the moon, rode the midnight train to Georgia with the Piano Man so we could meet the Ninja Turtles in NYC because I did take that left at Albuquerque, and we went right round, baby, right round because fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, fuck you and I'M OUT!

Edit: fixed a typo

@wretched And then people don't understand why you don't know off the top of your head how old you are.

I somehow got an appt for behavioral intake tomorrow, vs 4-6 weeks out.

Here's hoping there's someone who understands ADHD and how it affects everything else my brain does weird.

Just once I would like to be able to make a grilled cheese sandwich on the first try.

Inevitably it takes forever to heat up, so I get bored and distracted, and then ZOMG EXPONENTIAL HEAT RISE = charred bread. Sigh.

@faraday Omg, If ANYTHING distracts me while cooking, and I loooove to cook. Burnt bottom Rice. Mashed potatoes extra dry.... tho crispy cheese is a bonus.

Invest in an electric skillet. No, seriously. They are your friend. Completely controlled heat rise with lights that tell you when it's ready.

Yus.
