Is this actually ADHD? It sounds more like anxiety to me 🤔

I have to prepare a little note card with bullet points on what I want to say/accomplish on my call. Bonus because I can also take any notes on the call if needed. It’s helped me a lot, because a lot of my anxiety about calling comes from forgetting why I was calling in the first place.

I feel like I’m being so fucking rude when I call because I hate receiving phone calls. They feel like someone intruding in my private space every single time.

Our entire system shouldn’t be built around only phone calls, there needs to be realistic alternatives. Not everyone is comfortable calling and that’s ok

One of the effects of me getting medicated is being able to make phone calls and schedule meetings. Do I still hate that everyone would rather I call and stumble over my words and forget what I’m going to say rather than let me write an email that allows me to clearly and concisely ask my questions? Yes, fuck them for doing that. Hell, it’s stupid and inefficient to try and find times your schedules are both open to have a meeting when you could just write a fucking email and reply to it when your schedule allows. But yeah, anyway, now I actually have enough executive function to make those phone calls and meetings when I have to.

Also here’s a reminder to take your meds because I definitely would have forgotten to take mine if I hadn’t seen this post and remembered.
