There's nothing like having the #motivation to do something and then running into repeated unexpected issues that suck the motivation right out of you.

There’s nothing like having the #motivation to do something and then running into repeated unexpected issues that suck the motivation right out of you.

I wish all of my technology would just fucking work consistently so I can focus on figuring out my processes for productivity instead of troubleshooting something that was working fine 2 days ago 🤬🤬🤬

Hi, I’m Arp! I got diagnosed with ADHD at 49, and now I'm trying to figure out what's me, what's masking, and just about everything else. I make comics (when imposter syndrome isn't striking) and write about life as a creative Indian-American. I’m self-taught, self-employed, and self-flagellating.

Tomorrow is Day 28 on #Vyvanse, and it’s been a promising time. Not necessarily due to the Vyvanse, though it’s better than #Adderall, #Concerta, or #Strattera for me. Definitely smoother and more ‘in the background’ than other #adhd meds (if they even worked for me), with the only downside being not being able to tolerate much #caffeine while it’s active or I get far beyond jittery. More importantly, it’s been 15 days since I spoke to a new therapist, after a 10 day emotional rollercoaster that was kicked off by a song I hadn’t heard since childhood. I opened up to a therapist for the first time, after previously holding back the stuff I wanted to avoid with multiple therapists. But after the rollercoaster I was on, I just had to let it out. The day after this therapy session, 99% of my #brainfog disappeared, and my executive dysfunction vastly ...

We need more focus on ‘collective intelligence’ vs individual genius. Encouragement of collaboration & cross-pollination. Being around other creatives, in varied disciplines, is meaningful for the growth of one’s own #creativity. I recognize now that I lacked creative peers for most of my life so I was always flying solo, not getting ideas from others nor getting any useful feedback. My friends would sit around and watch movies while I preferred wandering the Metropolitan Museum of Art and seeing what caught my eye. #BrianEno #POSSE Photo credit

After just reacting to requests & urgency in my work for ages I decided to sit down & (over several days) and write out the answers to a bunch of questions that I need to know. What do I like to do? What do I want to do? And I have to write this all by hand because, for whatever reason, when I write stuff down is when I do my best thinking. Below is the list of questions I came up with, in case it helps other #adhd / #AuADHD folks. I’m also proud of myself that I came up with these questions WITHOUT DOING ANY RESEARCH. I’m prone to Gathering Info so I can make the best decisions not make mistakes or be wrong. This time I just trusted in myself, I’ve researched plenty, I know this stuff, and it doesn’t have to be perfect. The Questions What ...

This looks soooooo purty! I love how #IntoTheSpiderverse (one the best #movies EVER) broke #animation out of its ‘Everything looks like #Pixar’ doldrums. Now we get actual feasts for the eyes, like The Mitchells vs the Machines, instead of Even More Realistic Hair™. #TMNT #MutantMayhem #trailer

I feel better about #handlettering after watching @chrispiascik's most recent video. Now I gotta just play play play every day and put all the #texture brushes I've collected over the years to use. #lettering #letteringart #digitalart #affinitydesigner #textures #frankentoon #retrosupply #truegrittexturesupply #greenroommedia #digitalillustrator
