ADHD Is Finding Yourself Washing The Dishes, Your Upper Body Cold, When You Just Got Up To Pick Up A

In latest news the guy known as yours truly randomly blurted out "I imagined life with you" with no context to his friend causing a lot of embarrassment and confusion, especially from the friend's fiancé.

Yours truly shall now do his best not to bury his head in the sand for foreseeable future.

I’m a lesbian and somehow I manage to walk down the street and not ogle women I find attractive, or cat call or degrade them, or touch them without permission, or interrupt their daily lives, it’s almost as if I’m treating them like human beings despite my attraction to them. What an insane concept.

trying to remind myself to not say “i’m sorry” when i really mean “i just expressed my feelings, and i’m worried about how you’ll respond because i’m used to being dismissed or gaslit due to past unhealthy relationships”

So, I went to go talk to a “prescriber” yesterday about adhd medication, but the lady who spoke to me was condescending, infantilizing and don’t think she knew what she was doing? (when asked her about food to avoid with adhd meds, she said “oh, I don’t know anything about that. I can check online, though.” o-0 concerning) anyway, when talking lady was pushy for me to go on a lisdexamfetamine when I just wanted the concerta, but she kept mentioning that some people find adhd medication “changes” them and they find the change hard to deal with, sometimes they take different type of adhd medication that helps get everything done in morning that need to be done but then can feel more like themself in the evening? So I needed to be careful, and to watch how the medication makes me feel as a person.

Is this a bad thing to say? Never heard about adhd medication changing a person… Is it true? I’m lost, don’t know why she kept saying it

Makes sense

My body works in mysterious, absolutely dumbass ways. I don't have normal and sensible heat regulation for some reason, so usually my body heat levels are directly proportional to the temperature of whatever beverage I had most recently - if it was cold, I'm cold, and if it was hot, I'm hot. I can go from "sitting in my underwear because it's freaking sweaty in here" to "ah fuck it's cold" and back within an hour for no sensible reason. And if it's cold/raining outside, I'm going to be cold. It's stupid but I don't make the rules.

Today it's been cold and rainy, and we've spent most of the day in the car (with my seat heater on max, but never feeling hot because The Rain Outside). Getting home, I was still fucking freezing at 21 celsius indoors, and since I still needed to take my meds, decided to trigger the overheating response on purpose by having a hot beverage first, so I'd feel the need to remove clothing for comfort and could apply the gel on bare skin as one does.

And for some stupid reason, it freaking worked.

Powerpuff Girls was actually a show about a group of small children crushing the patriarchy and no one will convince me otherwise

This is so sad

ill figure it out <- common utterance of a girl who is completely fucked

This is the best post!

Depictions of autistic characters in media almost always fall into the "insanely rude but somehow tolerated" -type, or more rarely into the "innocently pure sweet cinnamon roll who's oblivious about everything uwu"-cathegory, but I think it would be great to have a character somewhere who is very clearly on the spectrum, and also this dude fucks. Like, a lot. You start out assuming that this guy's remarks about how much he regularly gets laid are some sort of a self-deprecating, sarcastic joke, but as the story goes on and you get to know the characters better, it becomes evident that not only are women drawn to him everywhere he goes, clearly the ladies also keep coming back for seconds.

And when someone wonders how in the fuck does he do that when he literally can't look people in the eyes he just goes "they are enthralled by my pure animal energy and unfathomble autism" and isn't joking. And when asked why nobody else has managed to replicate that he just goes "skill issue." And throws out the note that a woman just handed to him - with her number clearly written on it - right in front of her because talking to two people at once is overwhelming and he is not in the mood for that now.

Reminders I need sometimes:

You are not causing world hunger if you throw out the lettuce you forgot about, you don't need to feel guilty.

Your followers are not going to die if you don't update your blog or fanfics, you are not their sole source of happiness.

Drinking bottled water might be bad for the environment, but it's also bad if you forget to drink & you get dehydrated.

Eating junk food is better than not eating at all.

Eating cereal for dinner is better than not eating at all.

Writing in your journal/going to therapy/meditating once a month is better than not doing it all.

You're allowed to mask if you need or want to. Masking is not a moral failing.

Other people aren't relying solely on you to cheer them up or to make them feel welcome. If you don't have energy to take care of people today, there are other places and people they can turn to for help. You don't have to take care of everyone.

Your feelings are separate from anyone else's. You can be sad when other people are happy, and happy when other people are sad.

You're allowed to have happy moments during a hard week. That doesn't mean the week hasn't been hard, and it doesn't mean that you're faking happiness. Your feelings can change from minute to minute.
