Okay, guess you guys deserve an update here.

In short: My doc tried to take out some medications and I simply freak out. So now I'm with more meds than before and I'm really in a fucking roller-coaster. The real problem though is that my adhd simply don't let me do ANYTHING productive, and the meds for it leaves me emotionally fucked up. About eating desorder (first time talking about it here), I literally gained 77 pounds(?)/ 35kg in 6 months and counting.

So make of here a free space for you to update your whatever about yourself and your struggles.

I think everyone who has ever cursorily related to adhd memes should actually open a new tab, type “symptoms of adhd,” and read a little bit about it. Relating to a meme doesn’t automatically mean you have adhd, but you also could have it without realizing.

If you read the symptoms, you might find that many or even most them fit you. If not, you’ll still have more understanding about what adhd people experience. There is literally no harm in learning more about adhd beyond memes.

#this is targeted at ppl who have never actually looked into adhd beyond the memes #also if adhd doesn't fit then look into executive dysfunction or other conditions that might lead to the symptoms you experience #like autism or mental illnesses that affect executive dysfunction and impulsivity like depresison or bipolar disorder #adhd #neurodivergence #neurodiversity #adhd memes #bipolar memes #bipolar disorder #bipolar #maniac depressive

Important Self Care Note: You Do Not Have To Do Everything To The Nines

A lot of times I don’t do the self care things that I need to do because they seem too daunting or time consuming or involved. But what I’ve learned is that I don’t need to do everything with my full effort to the best of my ability, I just need to do it. It’s much better to do a little self care than none 

You don’t have to wash your hair every time you take a shower. Or shave your legs. Or use that fancy exfoliating body wash. You can jump in and wash your face and your underarms and nether regions and hop out. You will feel so much better and be so much healthier than if you had sat in bed and not even approached the bathroom because the idea of conditioning your hair was too much

You don’t have to cook a full healthy meal. You can eat components that would go into a meal like cheese and left over rice. Or you can even eat just one thing like a slice of turkey or a piece of bread. Eating a simple thing is better than eating nothing, even if its a bag of chips

You don’t have to go to the gym and do a full workout. You can do a workout at home or go to the gym and just do one or two things. Your workout can consist of you doing ten sit ups on your living room floor

You don’t have to go for a walk. Open the blinds or even the window and let the sunlight in. A lack of sunlight can be detrimental for your mood and even health, so any little bit helps whether you are physically outside or not

You don’t have to do your hair up in a cool do or put product in it. You can just comb it and go on

If you are a person who shaves their face, you don’t have to use that fancy aftershave. You don’t even have to get every spot perfectly. You can half ass it and look more like yourself than you did, and that is pretty important to your mental health

You don’t have to brush your teeth for two minutes, floss, use mouthwash, and put in your retainer. You can do some or one of those things. Brushing your teeth for fifteen seconds will do more than for zero seconds, and using mouthwash alone will do more than doing nothing

Self care is hard sometimes and you get overwhelmed. We all do and that’s okay. The best way Ive found to get it done is to get it partially done. Doing things just “good enough” IS good enough when thats all you can do. Be kind to yourself and just do what you can. I love you

Yet another reminder that faking is a conscious choice that you make.

It is not something you can do accidentally, regards of what you're talking about.

You can't accidentally fake depression, or anxiety, or bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia, or any other mental illness.

You can't accidentally fake Borderline Personality Disorder, Histrionic Personality Disorder, personality disorders.

You can't accidentally fake ADHD, autism, Tourette's Syndrome, auditory processing disorder, aphasia or any other neurodivergence

You can't accidentally fake being trans or ace-spec or aro-spec or any other LGBTQIA+ identity.

You can't accidentally fake chronic illnesses like CFS, fibromyalgia or any chronic illness.

You also can't accidentally fake being good/intelligent at something. You didn't fool your peers into reaching your position.

You can't accidentally fake trauma, PTSD/cPTSD, DID/OSDD/DDNOS or any other trauma-based disorder.

Tldr:

Faking is a conscious choice.

You cannot do it by accident.

If you are worried that you are faking, that in itself is proof that you are not.

Friendly reminder that if you are mentally ill or neurodiverse in some way and can’t work: it’s not your fault. You are not a failure or less worthy than people who work. The workplace is inherently ableist and tends not to accommodate people with mental health conditions of any kind and it is not your fault that it is this way or that your condition makes it harder for you to work than someone who doesn’t have it.
