Chances are, I won’t miss many phone calls or video chats during deployment because I’m probably still awake in the middle of the night. Although the characters are drawn either Disney-style or pattered directly after Disney characters, for simplicitys sake they are referred to by the name of their normal universe-counterparts.

Sometimes I get so hyper focused on cleaning all of the baseboards in the house that I forget to pick up my husband from work on time: 'It’s A Wonderful Day for Pie' is an Emmy-winning musical number performed by the entire cast of Family Guy in a Disney-style universe in 'Road to the Multiverse'. I try to keep in touch with your long-distance friends, but I end up being distracted by something shiny online when I go to open the messaging app: Care package? What care package? Oh sh*t, I was supposed to send that: It only looks like I have it altogether, but what I really have is high-functioning anxiety: at home, so my husband has to sponsor me on base: I don’t talk to anyone at a function until someone brings up a subject I like, then I can’t stop talking: I always do my best to listen to the speeches made at functions, then I end up dissociating, and I’m startled out of it by the round of applause at the end: I thrive in the initial chaos of PCSing and deployments because I suck at planning…then it comes back to bite me in the a** later in the unpacking phase: I overshared at my first spouse’s club meeting about my interest in Harry Potter when asked to introduce myself because I have no filter: When I walk into a crowded spouse’s function, I immediately have the urge to walk out because my anxiety is so high: I always know I have an appointment coming up, but I don’t remember what (or who!) it was for because I forgot to put it on the calendar: My condition doesn’t make me less worthy than my peers – but it does give me some interesting stories to tell, especially in the military community! Here are some (hilarious) examples of what it’s like to have ADHD as a military spouse in GIFs: 1. But, sometimes, I just need to laugh at myself. I admit that my condition has created some challenges when it comes to being a military spouse. According to the stereotype, ADHD is a “boy’s disease” that causes them to be hyperactive, boisterous, and fidgety. In their defense, they are most likely basing their assumption of what ADHD looks like on what society (and Hollywood) has taught them about the condition. You don’t LOOK like you do!” I can’t count on two hands how many times I’ve heard this.

It's a wonderful life gif
