is this common with people with adhd or anyone struggling with any sort of mental stuff, like when you're finally in a good mood. And by that it could be how you start to enjoy reading, painting or anything at all again. Or it can also be how you're not struggling too much with executive function. Basically brain feels pretty good. But since you feel good as if you have no problems at all.. do you just.. forget everything completely about all of your struggles as if none of that ever happened or exist at all. like if you read your own shits about YOUR OWN struggles a question pops out ' did I just made shit up to sound relatable cause I can't fucking remember ever feeling that way- ' even though you're not the sort of person who would do that, and at the same time you struggle to understand the things you wrote down about your feelings cause you simply forgor
I'm asking cause I'm starting therapy and im in a good mood, i can't remember shit. i dont want therapist to think im a liar,making a big deal out of nothing :(

hell's paradise is a fun story where everybody smiles
the sun mourns in vain for the white-throated rail: a comic about disability and the unwanted able-bodied grief for past selves.
[IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
Page 1: The sun holds a white-throated rail, a bird with a red head, a gray body, and a white throat, in its hands. The sun speaks in a tone represented as sorrowful pity through a drippy speech bubble.
Sun: Looking at you makes me sad!
Rail: What?
Page 2:
Sun: Looking at you makes me sad!
The sun stands with a hand clutching its face.
Sun: How miserable it must be to be flightless! Don’t you yearn for the skies? Don’t you wake up grieving you’re still on land?
Page 3: The white-throated rail looks down in frustration in the hand of the sun.
Sun: (speaking off screen) I’d simply perish if I were you!
The rail speaks, looking down. Pink flowers bloom towards the bottom of the page, petals and pollen blowing in the wind.
Rail: Why do you put your words in my beak and your grief in my feathers? Am I not beautiful?
Page 4: The bone of a white-throated rail is positioned against a colorful galaxy dotted with flecks of stars.
Rail: Am I not adaptability in action? Am I not evolution in motion? Do you mourn the days you weren’t a star? Do you mourn when the sky was cold, how unbearably hot you must burn to keep embracing it every day?
Page 5: The sun looks at the viewer.
Sun: Why would I? That was then, this is now. I am content to be in this state.
Page 6: The rail looks up at the sun off-screen.
Rail: Well…So am I.
Me, person with chronic pain : I am in pain. My body is heavy.
My mom : maybe you should try boxing?
LOOK- I CAN'T EVEN BE MAD AT THIS.
can there be ppl with adhd who don’t hyperfixate? i’m diagnosed but i can’t tell if it’s hyperfixation or if i’m just telling myself it is idk agsgshsh

Every brain is different, and in the same way, every hyperfixation is. For one person, they can be very strong and take over all thought, and for others they can be weaker. Because ADHD is an inability to regulate attention, I think everyone does experience some sort of hyperfixation—we lack dopamine, so our brain clings to one thing we find that provides us with that dopamine.
But that doesn’t mean it has to be incredibly strong—it can be one interest that you feel especially drawn to for a period of more than a day. If there’s a book or show that you love and feel like you just have to keep reading/watching it because it’s so good, that can be a hyperfixation! You don’t have to be completely obsessed, just… not wanting stop, and wanting to carry on from where you left off when you have free time.
i think everyone is lying how does it not hurt you to walk anywhere. i saw a website today describe a "short period of standing" as 30 minutes. I WOULD EXPLODE. EVERYONE IS LYING.
