This would be long and probably my first time in 3 years openly talking about this in public. First I would like to say that managing this without meds would depend on how bad your ADHD is. This worked for me: 1. Mind mapping: This means creating a system that enables you remember things. This could be pairing things together, aligning certain objects you enjoy with other objects you don’t so you remember. A good example: l always forgot to lock my apartment, so I placed the keys right on the large mirror at my door. Thing is I am vain and I use that mirror every morning to comb my hair and dress up. I always remembered to lock up because the key was there at the door as I am about to leave. When I get into a car I place any large item that can’t go in my pocket on the door handle. The moment I open the door to leave that item falls off and I remember I had it. DON’T ever fall for the trap of keeping things hidden, because you will never remember where you kept it, instead have a specific spot where each item goes daily and like clock work. Your brain registers that place with that item. An example my key goes into a small pouch in my bag every single day. I don’t have the worry of it getting lost because it’s in there even though I’ve forgotten. 2. Notes: Take written down notes of everything and anything. Don’t fall for that tiny voice telling you “you will remember” no you won’t. Take detailed notes like a baby. If you read my notes you will think a toddler wrote them. The aim is to remember the exact thought you had at the time because chances are you won’t remember the instruction or the specific circumstances. In my line of work as a Lawyer this is very key. I will share an example attached.

Yup. Out of sight is out of mind. Also doesn’t mean you don’t care.

Just cycled past this. The energy is insane 💪🏽💪🏽

One trick I learnt with endurance sports is to forget you’re doing that specific thing. Transport your mind somewhere else whilst still engaging in the sport. The last guy standing towards the end looked like he will pass out, but really I think he had dissociated from what he was doing. That way your body is tricked into remaining in the same position without necessarily consuming more energy or even struggling. x.com/TopGirlKeiko/status/20…

My wife’s convocation is today, and I also have a ticket to the Mexico vs South Africa World Cup opening game. I have to miss one so if you need a ticket, the convocation is happening at Downtown Toronto 😮‍💨

Any other neurodivergent people find that you underreact to things you're expected to have a Big Response to (death, break ups, terrible news) and overreact to things you're expected to not get upset about??

This can backfire and you’ll be branded as someone who cannot do any work on their own and requires too much handholding. The issue with micromanaging is the perpetrator isn’t really conscious that they’re doing so. Any attempt to retaliate will be met with confusion.

Spend enough time in corporate canada and you learn to be relentless in fighting for yourself.

Toddlers will just wake up and start jumping around the house. Can't you take some time to meditate? Think about your life and strategize?

Re: Bokoharam beheading soldiers: Just so you know. Your money won’t save you, not your Ikoyi or Lekki houses. You’re not more equipped to handle violence like soldiers who were literally trained for it. Yet they were beheaded. Keep voting people who do not care about you in, in the name of tribe and personal gain.

This should be top requirement in choosing a lifetime partner.

Found out they were talking the worst possible smack about me even though I had been the best I could be to this person. I just withdrew, no talk, no conversation. Just walked away till date.

“Nnu Ego lay down by the roadside, thinking that she had arrived home. She died quietly there, with no child to hold her hand and no friend to talk to her. She had never really made many friends, so busy had she been building up her joys as a mother.” I cried.😭

Begrudgingly posted this cover video on TikTok because I didn’t really like the way I sang the song. Tell me why the video is at almost 8k views with over 80 comments and a thousand likes. Also a lot of bookmarks. I find it really hard to understand content and why some hit and some don’t.

Why is Nigeria not part of the countries recognized as English-speaking countries?????

Back in 2023, I was paying 450k per month for a bottle of my ADHD meds. Not sure what it is now in Nigeria. But for a medication tied to survival, it shouldn’t have to be that expensive.

salary increases

Happy birthday @ayodejia_ you deserve everything good this new year 💪🏽

Dear (some busybody) NIUK members, Please, do your basic research about Canada before doing a Japa 2.0, so you don't sound stupid in front of your ring lights talking about “5 things that shocked me after moving from the UK to Canada” that nobody asked you about. You weren't shocked, you just wanna make foolish content so everyone knows you’ve lived in another part of the world before….
