Right now, I’m doing something I thought I’d never do in my life: drink decaffeinated #coffee.

I learned quickly that #Vyvanse + coffee = Jitters From Hell so I’ve avoided coffee these 3 weeks. That royally messed up my morning routine, which included blending 30g of protein into my coffee, which prevents me from getting stupid hangry mid-morning and resorting to eating anything I can get my hands on.

I’m glad to say it doesn’t taste like watered down coffee 😂

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.

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 ...

gandalf looking indian dude with a medium haired calico cat, sunlight streaming on their faces. also i don’t know what ‘calico’ is but it sounds right.

She must like me, she sits up here almost every morning purring while I have my coffee. Today we’re graced with some lovely (albeit blinding) sunlight. Also: she’s almost 17 and deaf, yet still pretty darn spry. #Caturday #CaturdayEveryday #Cat #Cats #CatLovers #Catstodon
