Hobbies/Interests
Hi guys I'm just wondering what everyone's hobbies and interests are as I'm looking for something new to do and give myself a challenge as when have time to myself I tend to just dwell into my thoughts and not do anything productive which is not best physically and mentally. For me it Arts and crafts and music. I have a wrote and illustrated a children's story with aims to publish it but just never got round to it because I was unsure how to trademark it. I like Origami and have also started to write a song but got writer's fog. My trouble is I start doing a hobby then find myself not doing it again for ages (months/years) or starting it then getting distracted by something else. Does anyone have any strategies to how they overcome this. And sorry for lots of posts I love learning from others and hearing from their experiences.

Thanks I appreciate that 😁 I have tried a badminton group but that wore off after a few sessions. I have also joined a choir but again that also wore off which I don't know why as I love music and singing and it was also about mindfulness and relaxing which are also things started to do (yoga, meditation). My anxiety made me feel very overwhelmed and I started getting negative thoughts like "oh god everyone else is better than me" and felt like didn't want to be there which is frustrating as it something I love to do 😭 Thank you I will PM you regarding the book
START HERE 👋 Welcome to ADHD Success Community
Hey and welcome. I’m really glad you’re here. This community is for adults with ADHD who want practical support, better tools, and real progress, especially if you struggle with things like focus, procrastination, emotional overwhelm, inconsistency, and actually following through 🎯 A lot of advice out there just doesn’t work well for ADHD brains. That’s a big part of why I created this space. My goal with this community is simple: to build a place that feels practical, supportive, and real. A place where people can learn more about their ADHD brain, improve things like focus, habits, emotions, and follow-through, and support each other along the way.💯 Right now, this is a brand new community, so if you’re here early, you’re one of the founding members while we build this into something really valuable together. At the moment, the best place to start is the ADHD Unstuck Challenge. Over time, there’ll also be more challenges, courses, resources, and support added based on what people here actually need. Start here 1. Introduce yourself in the comments below 2. Share what you’re struggling with most right now, or what you’d most like help with 3. Start the ADHD Unstuck Challenge Introduce yourself 👋 Copy and paste this into the comments if you want: Name: Where you’re from: What I struggle with most right now: What I’d love help with inside this community: One thing I’m hoping to improve: You don’t have to write loads. Even a short intro is great. The goal here is support, growth, action, and helping each other. Glad you’re here.

@Mark F I work with children and do observations on them but I get easily distracted especially when they start talking to me whilst I'm trying to complete them and then I forget about them and have the best intentions to go back to them but something else shifts my attention. I think I am going to write down tasks on sticky notes for example complete ... observation or when I have to fill out forms or I could make a to do list and pin it up. I am just struggling to find things that work for me I start doing things then I'm not consistent with them and then just stop doing it altogether and it is very frustrating 😔 I obviously just have to try stick to them

Visuals
Hello guys, My name is Matthew and I got diagnosed with ADHD in February this year and I found it hard to process the diagnosis but felt relieved to have answers. I am a visual and doing learner and have recently made some visual aids to support me with completing daily tasks. I am just wondering if anyone else does anything similar and if they are willing to share what they do to help me get some new ideas/inspirations. Thank you 😊

Hey Daniel, Thank you so much I will have a look at it see if that helps. I also downloaded the Finch app where you complete tasks daily to earn rewards but I just press the button to say I've done them when I actually haven't just to earn the rewards 🤣. Mine are also on the wall

@Mark F 🤣🤣 I don't even use it properly I just like the challenge of getting something everyday but then don't do anything else on it 🤦‍♂️🤣🤣
Temper...
Hi, I have always had a temper. Nothing serious that I get into fights, but I fly off the handle very easily over the slightest little thing. It seems to be getting worse also. I'm waiting on a medication recommendation from the psychiatrist, but wondered if anyone else has this and how they deal with it. I get so angry and shout and swear, then almost instantly (most of the time) feel absolutely terrible and guilty! Other times I can let things fester and dwell for days, even weeks, about something and overthink everything about why it happened or things I could have, should have said during an argument, etc.. I also only get around 4 hours of sleep a night for the past couple of years, which makes things even worse and me more irritable. I'm honestly at my wit's end with all of it and life at the moment! I'm still waiting on a private diagnosis and meds as my GP wouldn't help at all. Luckily, I know 2 psychiatrists who have both said I need meds, but again, the process is a long and drawn-out one... I feel completely lost at the moment. I have no motivation, and generally, I'm feeling very depressed. My spending is out of control. I'm in a mountain of debt, and my work and home life are suffering due to my moods and my inability to do simple tasks.... Sorry for the long post. I just feel I needed to vent as I don't really have anywhere else to turn! Hope you're all okay!! G

Hi Gary, Thanks for sharing I try my best to walk away but that's easier said then done and then having a shout, scream, rant to myself or someone close to me. The other day there was some confusion between myself and my colleague and the tone of voice I received wasn't nice I then walked away and had a rant was some swearing involved but then went back and told them that I didn't appreciate the way was spoken to and then explained what I had meant as I would of also felt bad and guilty if said something there and then. I do 5 mins of meditations, 5 mins deep breathing and 5 mins of stretching before I go to bed just helps get all the thoughts and pent up stress anger out I also put nature sounds water, animals etc to help relax. Could you try visualising a piece of paper as your mind and then writing down your thoughts on the paper and then scrunch, wrip or cut the paper up to try help you let go of the thoughts that holding you down. Hope some of these strategies work And you got this 💪 we here to support you
Just uploaded a new soft noise video on YouTube 🎧
I’ve just published a new soft noise track that may help with: - focus - sleep - calming your mind - blocking out distractions I know these kinds of sounds can be really helpful for some people with ADHD, so I wanted to start testing a few and sharing them. You can listen here: https://youtu.be/VfrHOLineUw If you try it, let me know in the comments: - what you used it for - whether it helped - and if you’d like more of these Also please give us a follow on the new YouTube channel!
