So y'all ever get so happy you have to physically shake yourself like you're a wet dog? No? Just me?

#adhd #probably an #adhd thing #or autistic #autistic things

How to use desk: and stands:

1. Loads of clutter/project things/ unread and never will be read books/ book you’re halfway through and procrastinating on reading. usually a complete mess but sometimes it

2. Somewhat/fully have a set up going on to make it pretty

3. To sit on while your chair is used as a foot stool

(This is the cleanest my rooms been all year (I moved in at the start of the year))

#uhhmmm #I think this is an #adhd thing #do normal people stay organized? #adhd #? #i think #maybe everyone is messy #although this is actually clean #for me #I’m not used to my room being this organized #it’s just to appease family #which is why my closet door is closed #we don’t look into the closet #I’m scared of the closet #not because I’m fruity but because that’s where the mess resides #I physically cannot go into my closet with how messy it is

Adhd thing

Mhm after researching and watching a lot of ADHD memes...

Can ya all stop being relateable lmao. Apparantely I don't hang around neurotypical at all- no wonder this is/was all normal to me ;'D (I don't really have friends- so only family to be around- which are all like this lmao, no wonder no one noticed haha)

Like - wait normal people don't do all of that?

-They can like grab a coffee... wait for the coffee and not get distracted and forgetting you are making coffee??? You are not walking then petting the cat, doing something else and then go, ah right coffee?

-Ya'll telling me you are not having music running 24/7 in your head, while talking to yourself in your head 24/7 with unrelated daydreams- excessive daydreaming and imagery that is not related to either 24/7, which also makes it hard to fall asleep?

I mean at least realized, that the maladaptive daydreaming was bad haha

-Also you guys can do texts and phonecalls without overthinking and then worrying you are upsetting the other person with whatever reply and just end up texting later or ghost 'em???

-You can go to appointments and be like doing other stuff and not going, welp that is the day???

Mmm not very neurotypical of me-

---

But yeah I am getting that checked out haha Time to no longer self-sabotage my life wooo

I'm not one to advocate for self-diagnosis, it can help you make the first steps when finally talking to your doc. I won't say I have it until a my doc confirms it, but like... ya ADHD folks are way too relateable haha

Also I'm having the appointment soon, but damn am I impatient about it haha Like sure I said it is fine to have it in 2 weeks, then realizing I hyperfixated myself learning about and reading about adhd all day since the first appointment a week ago and I just want to do my work haha

I want my brain to just shut up and be productive in a - actual productive way not just switching my hobby from my rooster for the x-time.

Btw. fixation of the last two weeks- month? Was animation haha, go check my youtube out:

Ah realizing this is yet again an impulsive oversharing post oh well.

I ate an entire loaf of challah and I am Regret.

#if you have IBS do not eat an entire loaf of bread by yourself #no matter how good it tastes #remember to eat meals throughout the day so you don't eat an entire liaf of bread for dinner #but i guess that's an #ADHD thing #I'm just a mess #but i had challah #so a happy mess

Can I just say that the original bullet journaling method has been working wonders for my executive disfunction and the cute, artsy, trendy ways of bullet journaling are great for neurotypical folks but not necessarily great for the people bullet journaling was made for.

I'm literally not even bullet journaling, per say, just using the original keys and organizing system on my white board and it's been helping so much

[angelicgarnet]

the way people online talk about autism is getting really weird, like do they know that neurotypicals still have interests? that someone being passionate about a hobby doesn't mean they're autistic? you guys know that right

#woof #like self diagnosis is one thing #but saying someone is autistic because they talk about a specific hobby a lot is weird (and waters down the actual definition of autism) #and its no different than saying someone has ocd bc they organize their books alpabetically #or saying someone has ADHD because they got distracted by something #and people who aren't even autistic are honestly getting way too comfortable with autism jokes

hey I'm sorry I stopped in the middle of that sentence my brain decided to flush its cache and I totally forgot what this conversation was

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.

you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.

you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.

don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.

if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.

you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:

how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!

aren't you happy yet?

#almost wrote the champagne line as ''effervescent'' but legit could not write it without saying ''effervescent like a snail'' #ah tumblr... #writeblr #warm up #idk . having trouble writing rn #ps i don't like to talk about it . it is my medical information. but before you ask. yes this is about being on the spectrum #i really don't like when ppl make my writing about how im [whatever ID]. i want it to ring true for the people who it rings true for #i don't want it to be like ''awwwww look at this person!!! she's the EXCEPTION!!! :)" ..... #no.... not really..... #idk something gross happens whenever i admit to certain conditions and i turn into like inspiration p*rnography #like yes they actually let us use keyboards these days #furthermore i just... dont feel comfortable talking about this part of me. i had too bad of a childhood. adhd is one thing... #this one im like. still coming to terms with. which is like. my own journey. #idk. just please be kind. some things are more private than others. this one feels private to me. #i do not know how to help others w/this . and i do not know how to help myself. i will talk about it if im ever ready. idk if that will #actually ever happen #ty in advance i love u im kissing you we are kissing somewhere on the spectrum

the most helpful thing i have ever seen from neurodivergent internet spaces is “THERE ARE OTHER TIMES OF DAY TO BRUSH YOUR TEETH”. this has genuinely saved me from executive dysfunction spirals so many times.

Apparently this needs to be said so

Forgetting things is morally neutral! Memory issues are morally neutral!

You're not a bad person if you...

forget things quickly

forget people

can't remember entire stages of your life

can't remember important things

can remember some things very well and forget other things all the time

can't remember things (or anything!) about your interests

forget to eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, etc

forget to reply to texts

remember things and immediately forget them again

can't remember birthdays, events, etc

frequently answer 'I forgot' to questions

can't retain new information

forget things you used to know

only remember things when it's too late

have vague, distorted and/or unreliable memories

depend on others to know how an event you were in played out

have other symptoms that are worsened by memory issues and vice versa

... and anything else I might have missed!

man I wish people understood how much it sucks ass to be neurodivergent and trying to find the middle ground where people like/tolerate you. like, I'm either "boring" (trying to wait my turn in conversations, holding space for other people, taking a back seat to let others get some spotlight) or "too much" (too loud/talking too much, getting excited to share, trying to participate in group conversations/activities). No one really talks about how much of being neurodivergent is just sort of trying to make yourself palatable.

I feel like so much of my life has been spent trying to find this effortless sort of middle ground everyone else seems to automatically already know, and I'm always swinging too far one way or the other. I'm lucky to have neurodivergent friends who grok me, but goddamn I wish that I could just like, exist without the constant background script in my brain that's like "you're being too loud. You're not talking enough. you're being self-centered. you're being boring. you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong." I feel like I'm back in high school trying to make friends but stuck as the eternal "weird kid"

it's just... lonely and sucks bad.

#I'm fine #just had a sort of blegh night with some people I'm playing dnd with #not a big deal but man the way I interact with neurodivergent people vs neurotypical people is like speaking two languages #except I'm only fluent in one of them and keep accidentally insulting people in the other #I'm just trying to make friends irl #flux's bullshuit #neurodivergent #autism #adhd #audhd #audhd things #audhd problems
