ADHDinos is a webcomic about the daily struggles I (and many others) experience with ADHD. I was recently diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and felt like I was on my own. I was then surprised to find such a massive and supportive online community where I was able to learn how to better navigate many of my problematic behaviors.

this one made me chuckle 🤣

The comic actually started as a list of all the stuff I was struggling with (I guess it hasn't changed much in that sense). I figured it would be a little easier to address this stuff when it was on paper, so I've been writing them down since the night I was diagnosed with ADHD. Within a couple of days, I made the first comic, building it around the name ADHDinos, which I thought was really funny. That first comic talked about avoiding big tasks by completing small ones, something I had been doing for years.

    Oh my goodness I relate to this so much. It's like being trapped inside your mind in this tiny little cell and there's this little goblin cackling at the control station while I'm clutching the bars and screaming at it to just "LISTEN TO THE CONVERSATION/LESSON/FRIENDS". But the little goblin is the one selecting what the little goblin hears so it never listens to me

    Learning to control my stress lvl alot better, made a huge decline in my dark thought, but they never disappear totally

    Since starting the comic, I've gotten into the habit of writing everything down. I have about 1600 notes at the moment (now sorted!). I counted last week, and I'm averaging about 7 per day. The problem is- it's a lot of jibberish. Sometimes I'll go back to an idea and have no clue what I was getting at. I've learned, however, that it's best to write everything down because some of this stuff is hard to articulate, and sometimes it takes a couple of tries to get right.

    What's worse... you do the thing... then the next day you ask yourself "Did you do the thing"... then you berate yourself "You idiot... you never do the thing ... you totally haven't done the thing" so you panic and do the thing AGAIN... but are now stressed because all the stuff you set up for the thing aren't there... and....

    I was expecting this to go so differently

    I struggled with all of this stuff for a really long time... I still do, of course, but knowing that I'm not alone was a huge first step toward improving. For the first time in a really long time, I'm not too busy hating and berating myself to actually address the issues I'm facing. There really is no shame in struggling, nor is there shame in getting help when you need it. My progress hasn't been linear, but I can zoom out and see the general trend of improvement, which is really nice.

    Every project takes 10 minuts. In real time they often take a week or more

    If you like my work consider supporting me on Patreon, it's the best way to support the series! Every comic to date is available as a T-Shirt on my new website. "ADHDinos: The Land Before Time Management" will be available this spring!

    Family member: when was the last time you showered me: I have no idea Family member: that probably means it's been a while me: I literally could have showered an hour ago for all I know, me not remembering is not an indication of the length of time it's been. Family member: go shower me: yeah, probably a good idea, I forgot those existed until you reminded me-

    This really sucks. I will get home from school and start drawing to decompress, and since I don’t eat breakfast and rarely eat lunch, I forget to have a snack, and my school has the awful 2 bathroom passes per trimester thing, so I forget that too. So fun /j
