[Wayback/Archive] Danielle Braun dr. on Twitter: “En en in plaats van of of.”
The image is by @thepresentpsychologist on Instagram (figured that out via Google Lens finding [Wayback/Archive] Psychological Safety Newsletter #39: Diversity and Ethical Behaviour | Psychological Safety), but and it took some effort to find the original post back as Instagram does not allow anonymous browsing.

Thread to remember that started with [Archive] Jesse J. Anderson • ADHD Creative on Twitter: “People with ADHD are often surrounded by piles of clutter. My desk is in a permanent state of chaos. Piles of books, papers, index cards, and random other things I don’t want to forget.” / Twitter
I bumped into it via [Archive] Ilse on Twitter: “Ja! Als ik het niet zie, denk ik er niet aan.” / Twitter (thanks!).
I saved the thread at [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @jessejanderson on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App and I am quoting it in full as it is so much me, highlighting it the most important bits for me:
People with ADHD are often surrounded by piles of clutter.
My desk is in a permanent state of chaos.
Piles of books, papers, index cards, and random other things I don’t want to forget.
Other ADHDers might keep a clean desk, but use their car as an extra closet and storage facility.Why is this so common for people with ADHD?
It’s actually a form of self-preservation.
We often forget things we can’t see.Instinctively, we know this.
When things are truly put away—hidden in the depths of a box or drawer—we know they disappear from our brains entirely.
This is why planners rarely work for people with ADHD.The second we close the cover, we forget everything inside.
Without a routine in place, we might never remember to open it again.
When I was younger, sometimes my mom would be so fed up with my room she would clean it herself.I _hated_ when she did this!
“How will I ever find anything?!”
When things are “a mess”, they are out in the open and I can use them as a physical memory palace—the visual of their environmental placement reminds me where things are.It may look like a mess, but I can find exactly what I’m looking for.
This extends beyond just knick-knacks on a desk.Sometimes a work responsibility will fall out of your brain.
You were doing it consistently and one day—for some unknown reason—you forgot to do it.
It’s no longer part of your environment, your routine.
When this happens, you know you’ll _never_ remember this thing again until something specifically reminds you.As if it’s fallen into one of those boxes or drawers you never remember to open.
This can happen with people too.If you haven’t seen someone recently, you might forget they exist entirely.
This can add a lot of stress to personal and family relationships.
People are offended and fail to understand.

Last year, [Archive.is] Vivianne Miedema on Twitter: “Sometimes you can’t see what’s going on inside someone… be nice ♥️… “ forwarded a modified copy of the below picture in which anyone usually recognises at least one artefact.
It isn’t the original, but that’s OK, as the main message is this:
Be nice to anyone. Not just today on World Mental Health Day: Every day!
I did a [Wayback/Archive.is] image search which did not reveal the original, not even in the youngest occurence which was on Facebook (which is odd, as they refuse to be archived, but apparently are open to web-search – go figure!). Of course that one was without attribution because nowadays regrettably few people care about it.
Vivianne at least had some attribution, so via [Wayback/Archive.is] Blessing Manifesting – Making self care and self love part of the everyday., I found both the original picture at [Wayback/Archive.is] 9 Signs of High Functioning Anxiety – Blessing Manifesting and the follow-up at [Wayback/Archive.is] 9 Anxiety Struggles I Have (Part Two) – Blessing Manifesting, both of which I have included below.
