  • I apologize that I don’t bring ‘good’ advice with me only anecdotal! …There also the community adhdwomen@lemmy.world, someone there may have some hepful suggestions!

    I’m older, wasn’t diagnosed until well into adulthood, also female. Of course, it didn’t help that it was deemed medically impossible for girls to have adhd back when I was growing up, for getting proper diagnosing.

    What really pushed me over the line to finally get diagnosed were the adhd communities here and elsewhere. Some of the silliest memes will sometimes have some great conversations within the comments. Posts with articles others found interesting, various answers folks have for questions asked… I have learned a lot, and get a lot out of, reading through other’s experiences, and getting some feedback on my own.

    For me, I retain more from an article posted and then that ‘live’ conversation, vs. a book that might present multiple topics, that I then start researching one of, then fall down some random rabbit hole instead of continuing the book in any sensible amount of time.

    Best of luck to you, in finding the resources you’re looking for, and all your journeys!








  • This is really awesome! I saw your post the other day about it and thought it was a great idea. You work quick! I already found a new community I would not have thought to look for otherwise.

    It is hard for me to see and manipulate on mobile, but that’s totally on me. So I’ll be back in a bit. I’m sure someone smarter than me may have more helpful input than that if you are looking for feedback!

    So I thought I was gonna head to bed, but… guess I can stay up and peruse for a little while…

    Thank you!!






  • Night Cafe. Free to use but limited uses. Can log in daily for 5 coins, do other tasks for some more. I found it pretty easy to save up a few days then go on sprees of trying things. There is a totally free option there too but it doesn’t have some of the finesse of the coin use ones.

    There are also daily challenges and community challenges, which I think are great to help with ideas. And some of the communities if come across are very helpful with things to add, or add as negative prompts, etc. There is a “group” of artists who leave their prompts open to see too. So when you look through or vote on the other art, you can click to see info and those folks have the prompts they used visible for that piece, in case it’s helpful to you.
