Bees in my head

("romankogan.net/adhd/#Bees In My Head")

Since #adhd is so poorly named – the Awfully Described Human Disorder – the meme factories made the alternative name BIMFH: Bees In My Fucking Head!

I like it. Visualizing the distracting thoughts as bees flying around me helps me identify them as "other", an external force, and thus detach from them. And I have to do "beecatching" sometimes: writing thoughts down. It's like catching a bee and putting it in a jar so it quiets down.
