#ocd adhd and anxiety? how fun

[tittyinfinity]

My neurodivergencies and mental illnesses overlap so much that you could diagnose me with about anything at this point

#ocd and autism put together? must tap on things. must tap in specific rythm. or die. my whole life #adhd and autism? oh i cant focus but when i do that's all ill focus on for months or years #i can't pay attention but i have a photographic memory! so that didn't affect me much in school #also w the ocd and autism i constantly have to be picking at my skin in some way #whether it be dandruff my lips scabs or just chewing on the inside of my cheeks #like i can never stop no matter what #oh and another great thing about ocd and autism put together is that you get Echolalia² #this thing is going to repeat in the background of your head for months #and also you must sometimes say/sing it out loud randomly or you will explode #i was diagnosed with bipolar 1 and BPD also #manic and depressive episodes? turned out that was literally just dependent on my pain med prescription #rapid cycling emotions can come from all of those #i also have psychosis episodes and delusions! and hallucinations! wee! #oh and let's put a littlr sprinkle of C-PTSD on top of everything. just for fun #''anxiety disorder'' that was me freaking out about masking and how everyone would judge me #major depressive disorder? yeahhhh there's always that base level of despair #like I'm pretty sure the ocd adhd and autism are like one Whole Thing together #i hear the symptoms of all of those and im like yeah that's me! that's also me! shit! that's also me! #WHY IS THERE SO MUCH WRONGGGG #.bdo

Lloyd, The Greenest and Geekest mf.

General character headcanons:

Half Japanese half Chinese

His hair is box blonde dye and you cannot change my mind.

Left handed

Severely dyslexic and hands off all scroll reading and just reading oriented tasks to kai.

Has LED lights in his room set to forest green.

Has given himself a smiley face tattoo.

Cried over a dead goose once.

OK, just to preface i see cole as a stoner of Sorts and uses the excuse "it gets me closer to my element"

With that in mind cole let lloyd try it and now sometimes when he is told to unwind, of feels like he needs to take a chill pill he and Cole spark up

in the beginning of his leader ship role, he used to Say;"kick ass and take names" and if things went wrong he had the fuck it we ball mindset, but got better with time. There are still times they wing it, though.

if he isnt in his gi he almost exclusively wears his pajamas (aka a Hoodie, tshirt and sweats)

Vv tired, and now has a raging addiction to energy drinks due to his lack of Sleep.

He used to eat worms as a kid bc he Thought he it was evil.

Has a eyebrow piercing, and wants a tongue piercing.

Adhd and OCD, as well as the normal line up (anxiety, depression, cptsd)

Lloyd in a relationship:

Hes very distant in the beginning, it'll take time to warm up to you.

He tends to be orage cat vibes.

On the cat trend, he gets close for a bit Before becoming distant. Going through waves of affection, kinda.

He hasn't had like, any good relationships in his life so he tries to "protect" himself when he feels he gets to close to you, and so he pulls away.

He does the fuckboy face when your sad bc it makes you laugh, as well as That weird dice roll

He actually does the face/dice roll combo whenever he Sees you as he walks over, it's an inside joke now

primary giving love language: acts of service and quality time

Primary receiving love language: gifts and words of affirmation. But physical touch is also high up there.

Also, not expensive gifts. He hates those. Give him a stick you saw on a walk that made you think of him. He'll cherish it forever. And maybe cry.

He will cry.

will make noises at you and expects a noise in response or he'll be sad.

Also randomly bites you. He's a nommer

also sends you memes throughout the day.

As well as random pictures with the caption;"BABY LOK THIS IS S. US IF WE WHERE *insert whatever item here*

Called you babe, baby, love, shitface, asshole.

Expect kind and loving gentle bullying.

Doesnt know how to express his emotions to just expect him to come up to you, lightly shake your shoulders and aggressively say;"I love you bitch.i ain't Evea gon stop lovin you. Bitchhhhhhh" (vine reference)

Sends you .5 of everyone, himself included. He's addicted to Taking them. You will not get out of it.

Also sometimes just walks around in nyas stilettos for fun.

You two have fashion shows.

You also take over the Living room sometimes and build giant ass forts to watch shitty reality tv in and make fun oF The people

Overall, once he realizes you won't leave he's the most funniest loving chaotic guy.

But expect it to take a hot minute for him to realsie this

give him time,, but also have some deep talks..

Let him vent

and for the love of God don't hurt the baby's heart.

Expect inside jokes

Just Some Akuma Class HC’s

Here’s some sweet HC’s for the akuma class, my babies! (Canon!Nette GTF outta here, this is FANON!Mari, the bae!) Enjoy! @artzychic27 @imsparky2002

Whenever someone in the class has some sort of extracurricular event, be it a game or meet for Kim/Alix, a Kitty Section concert, one of Mylene’s plays, a gig for Nino, etc, everyone is there to cheer them on, as enthusiastic as they can possibly be.

They are ALL neurodivergent. Fight me. Marinette struggles with OCD, this is canon. Kim has ADHD. Max is on the autism spectrum, and I actually feel like Nath(hyperfixating) and Juleka (social struggles) and Ivan (emotional expression) too. Mylene and Sabrina have anxiety. Everyone is supportive. Stim toys are always on hand. That is all.

They have regular class outings, be it a picnic in the park, seeing a movie, shopping, or just walking around Paris. They always have fun together and make a ton of memories.

They have biweekly movie nights where one person gets to pick the category, and they gorge themselves on snack food and yell at the screen. (They also group watch TV shows. Their last watch was Bojack Horseman. They are all emotionally destroyed.)

Their group chat is absolutely unhinged and it may leave you with deep mental scars if you read it.

In this class, one person’s younger siblings are EVERYONE’s younger siblings! Anyone in the class would commit homicide for Sasha Bruel, and they’ve all become well-versed in dealing with the Cesaire twins.

They have a funny game they all play together where they take a random idea for a story and then take turns adding stuff that makes the plot progressively more insane and hilarious.

Ivan is the designated person to carry any of his friends when they’re tired, overworked, hurt, or even just if they feel crappy and want to be carried. He’s a good boi.

Kim is pretty much the personal trainer for each of his classmates and you best believe he knows damn well how to motivate and pump up whoever he’s working with.

Adrien is the class baby, and they will all protect him with their lives. They’re teaching him about life and social norms, and plotting Gabe’s death is a regular occurrence in class discussions.

They have a…weird ritual for birthdays. No one knows how it started but it’s terrifying. All I’ll tell you is that it involves a pitch dark room, candles, dark cloaks, and chanting. Are they summoning something? No one knows.

Nino is class dad, and Mylene is class mom. They will do anything to take care of their friends. They always have first aid kits in their bags. They keep snacks on hand for everyone. If you’re out sick, they’re checking in on you regularly. You better be resting properly or you’re in trouble!

The whole class has nicknames for each other, both shortened versions of longer names (Mari, ‘Lene, ‘Brina, Jules, Nath) and the little cute ones that have to do with traits, experiences or personalities. (“Sunshine” for Adrien, “Kimbo” for obvious, “Tomato” for Nath.)

I hope you enjoyed this little piece of fluff! Leave your thoughts in the comments and reblogs!

Okay but y'know who would've been the perfect character to use as a secondary foil to Dabi in addition to Shouto being the first instead of Bird Bitch?Momo.Their upbringings are significantly different but not entierly-Momo was abused by her parents with adultification and verbally abused by them in a way that's so normalized that she has no clue of either of those things even happened to her,Dabi was abused by Endeavor in the classic way with constant verbal degragation and physical assaults.And they both had the same motivation and justification behind them:They wanted them to be the perfect child.Momo's abusers in the sense of her becoming the ideal proper 'mature' woman,Dabi's abuser in the sense of the most powerful hero.They parallel eachother in a contrasting way and so do their trauma responses by extension and their dynamic has so much untapped potential that i genuinely think it's one of Horikoshi's dropping the ball moment's that he never had them share a bond or at least pointed out their different similarities

It's shown that despite his lack of care for strangers generally,Dabi looks out for his own.He treats Toga like his little sister because she had a rough childhood due to her quirk too and his best friendship with Jin is so tender and strong that it borderlines on romantic and we all saw what he did and said to Hawks for his ableism motivated murder of him and it's not a coincidence that he's even more brotherly to Toga and unhinged after that event specifically.In addition to their shared history of parental abuse,Momo herself also has a bunch of disorders which unlike with Jin were not intentional-Let's be honest,if Horikoshi had made her autistic,adhd,anxiety and ocd intentionally,i don't even wanna think about how horrifically she would've been treated by both other characters and the narrative-but are too intertwined with her story to remove them and still have her be in-character so it's fun and interesting to think of Momo and Dabi having to interact with eachother due to her being a heroine in training and him a villain who's team's main enemies are friends and mentors

Both of them have also not fully escaped the treatment they got growing up-Momo was given a costume that was blatantly meant to sexualize her and gets put in charge of leading her classmates into war as literal child soldiers,Dabi still dosen't get believed as a victim of his father because he's 'too mean' to count as one.I would love to see stories of them slowly accidentally befriending eachother right after the Bakugou rescue arc and Dabi helping Momo see hero society isn't fair or kind to her either and Momo realizing just how often it is that situations like Dabi's happen-Hell,she helped rescue someone who's the same as Endeavor,only on a smaller scale.I don't think she'd instantly go villain nor that Dabi would force her to but the prelude to the war arc has her getting kicked out by her parents for standing up to them and because they found out she's been doing vigilanteism so she joins him because she knows he's right and because he's treated her better than almost every other adult in her life and in turn,she's made him realize that not every hero is thrown into it willingly and are just hurt kids like he used to be and that they're the real ones.'Creati' becomes 'Destruct' but before this all unfolds,we get Shouto and Momo being closer than ever as the series progresses due to the differences in Momo's plot and Dabi's involvement in it pulling Shouto into their orbits and Todomomo goes from a subtle but potent romance to a constant and in your face 'They're soulmates by choice' type of beat in the best and healthiest way possible

Momo gets to be written as a multidimensional teen girl character with no demonization for being an anti-heroine and not be erased as the second real first friend Shouto made in favor of a lifelong bully who told his number one victim to kill himself and Dabi gets to redeem himself by being the good older brother he never got to be as Touya and entering rehibilitation after the war ends because he refuses to die after getting to save Jin from Hawks so they can live out the rest of their lives together.Breaking the cycle of abuse is a much better story than shonen fuckery bullshit disguised as superhero homages when in reality it's disrespecting the history behind and core of comics

Oops.. I’ve Lost Track.. : A Post about Unintended Time Traveling

Have you ever mistook that today’s thursday and not a wednesday even if you’re so sure? Have you ever wondered why time flies so fast while nothing’s done for the day? Or maybe when those “five more minutes” promises turned into hours until its too late?

Then you might have problems with keeping track, managing, and predicting how long it takes to do something,, this is called time blindness. Which is common among neurodivergent folks.

So it was time travel..?

Surely, but not as fun as how movies convey them. Time blindness can affect people in different ways, such as:

Losing track of days, hours, or to minutes; not being aware how long it has been.

Have a faster/slower sense of internal clock. Meaning, minutes can feel like hours or vice versa.

Problems being on time to appointments, events, and etc; due to faulty predictions on how long it takes for something, such as dressing up or driving to the location.

Trouble remember when was the last time you ate a meal and drank water.

Over-focusing on a specific task/ interest and miss a huge chunk of your routine (compensating or catching up).

And more..

It often affects people with ADHD; but not always limited to autism, depression, anxiety disorders, OCD, bipolar, CDD, and even a byproduct of constant stress itself!

For the plurals out there:

There’s it’s own set of experiences + the addition of the general ones before, such as:

Time looks disoriented due to switching and lost sense of chronological anchor (can’t remember the previous moments to make sense how long time has gone by).

What happened long ago e.g. 1 month, felt like it happened last week. Vice versa.

Alters perceiving sense of time in different, varying speeds.

And, with the addition of CDD’s high comorbidity with other conditions that may worsen time blindness.

Systems can have a harder time due to the existing amnesia barriers that fragments memories, and sometimes this can be super stressful to deal with--but fret not! For whoever needs some tips, i gotchu.

What should i do??

Let's get straight to the point, here's the steps:

Create a routine. If you're prone to missing work or leisure due to it, or need to get things done on time,, having a planned schedule or routine will be the most important part. You can do this in any way preferred, for example, sticking to a 7-day plan that has your school/work/breaks in it already,, or if you're sporadic, you can pre-plan what to do for the day and jot them down as the goal.

Make use of accommodations. Set designated alarms,, maybe for your meals, or hydration reminders, or if you don't want to overshoot that gaming session. Putting clocks that can be visible in your vision also can help keeping you on track. Create checklists to keep track of your chores or whatnot. Maybe write down notes on today's progress, anything with your own creativity!

Break work into smaller steps to ease up. Sometimes procrastination can accompany time blindness, leaving us to do 0 work until its near deadline or the day is almost over, separating the tasks to smaller bits and do them in pieces on your own pace. And sometimes your focus is prone to wander to places if the task is too long or tedious/boring, so this also helps.

Be aware of which activities you're prone to forget time. List or remember them so whenever you wanted to hop back in a special interest, actively remind yourself beforehand and you may make use of number 2.

Lastly, commit to it. This is where all the magic is at, and there will still be days where it tumbles apart and you miss a couple of things.. don't worry, we all are never perfect, there'll always be a day or two where everything's messy and miss that deadline or other stuffs. You haven't failed, keep going.

I hope this could serve you hope that your time blindness is 100% manageable, this post is for every neuro-spicy folks (and systems) out there who's struggling with it,, and i hear your struggles! Feel free to add on your experience or engage with the post if you have any further questions.

(This post is applicable to everyone in need)

rating mental illness interactions

Adhd/Autism: its pretty fun, not sure what to mention specifically because this is just how i lived my whole life so its nornal for me

Adhd/Ocd: do not recommend. Thought spirals and constant mind racing and thought association and bad emotional regulation sucks.

Depression/Ocd: this is an odd one because it feels like depression lately has neutered most of my ocd panic. Like yeah contamination anxiety still terrifies me and freaks me out but eventually the emotional numbness sets in and my mind goes "its too much work to care about this anymore" so i just deal with it

#Osdd/all: its like a grab-bag of symptoms not knowing which will be the most prevalent in that moment

[five-thousand-loaves-of-bread]

disorders in my birth language direct translate unofficial just for fun but also like really shitty translate

autism: “lonely disorder” “lock yourself in disorder”

adhd: “move a lot disorder”

schizophrenia: “split mind disorder”

dissociation: “separate disorder”

DID: “separate(-type) identity disorder”

catatonia: “nervous syndrome”

OCD: “force disorder”

others are either translate not interesting (depression, bipolar, anxiety, learning disorder, ID, etc) or don’t know how translate (the eating disorders) or didn’t look

#can’t decide which worse #either autism (specifically lonely disorder) or adhd or schizophrenia but catatonia also terrible #🍞.txt

ITS AUTISM ACCEPTANCE MONTH BITCHES

HAPPY AUTISM ACCEPTANCE MONTH TO ALL MY FELLOW AUTISTIC PEEPS!!!! I plan on making some art work for this month, but idk when it’ll be done, so hang tight.

To celebrate this wonderful month here’s some educational fun facts!

(1) While the puzzle piece is the most common symbol for autism, it is actually preferred by the community to use a rainbow or golden infinity sign, due to the ableist history of the puzzle piece. Namely, it was popularized by Autism Speaks, which is an ableist company whose views are extremely harmful to the community (I won’t get into it here, but it’s BAD)

(2) The Autism spectrum isn’t linear. There isn’t a “more” or “less” autistic, as there are so many facets to autism that vary person to person. The spectrum is more like a color wheel, with each color representing a different trait (eg, sensory, social, memory, motor, etc). The idea that there is a linear spectrum is mostly based on the “how well can you mask your traits so they don’t affect other people” mindset. (One person may struggle more with motor but not social, while another struggles with sensory but not motor, etc)

(3) AFAB people are frequently under/misdiagnosed. Because their traits present differently from boys (who were the only people studied in most autism studies, especially the ones that made the diagnostic criteria) their traits are often missed. Oftentimes, they are diagnosed with ADHD, OCD, AVPD, anxiety, or even eating disorders, and have to self advocate for a diagnosis to be pursued. I myself wasn’t diagnosed until I was a teenager (after over a year of personal research and self advocacy) while my brother was diagnosed at 5.

That’s all for now! Happy Autism Acceptance Month and have a great day!

i'm robin, but you can call me haunty, haunted, robbie, rob, birdy, or any other nickname you come up with!

i'm a minor, but i'm not going to say how old i am exactly. that makes me uncomfortable.

i haven't been diagnosed yet, but i'm pretty sure i have ocd, maybe autism, & maybe adhd. i am diagnosed with anxiety & depression, so sorry if my posts are a bit random at times.

i'm a panromantic asexual & genderfluid, & i use they/he/she pronouns.

i like a lot of things, but my main hyperfixations & fandoms are lovejoy, qsmp, wilbur soot, bursonas, heartstopper, harry potter (although i strongly dislike JK Rowling), dsmp, alice oseman novels, dark academia novels (if that makes sense), twitch streamers i like, & a few other things that i cannot remember.

i write, sing, play piano, read, & make art. i'm learning how to play the ukulele & trying to improve my art skills. i can always post some of my art if you're interested.

i am an age regressor flip, which means i am both a regressor & a caregiver. when i regress, i regress to around 3-6 years old. please be respectful & mindful of this.

this is an SFW blog, which means no NSFW fics will be written. NSFW jokes, however, will sometimes be made.

#hauntytalks #about me

[flabebabe]

I... strongly believe that I have one of four things

1. Autism

2. ADHD

3. OCD

4. Generalized anxiety

My money's on OCD but it's probably generalized anxiety. That's what I've believed for the last decade. That's what I've been diagnosed with but there's something that makes me want to believe it's something else. Maybe because people don't talk about how devastating "simple" generalized anxiety can be. Even here on Tumblr people make fun of "aNxiEtY". Maybe I just want to believe it's one of the things that is glamorized. I want it to be autism or ADHD so I can feel a sense of community.

Ngl...I'm pretty drunk. I'm sure I'll be embarrassed when I sober up and read this.

Adding to my thoughts on the TikTok ask and one of the major reasons I love I Hope So- I don’t like how people act like a disability is a quirky trait. It’s just feels so disrespectful to see someone say they have this disability and then act like it’s a quirky ‘oopsy-daisy! Silly me’ trait when it’s a serious matter that cause people to struggle daily.

I have ADHD and deal with depression and anxiety so I always feel like people are downplaying my and other people’s struggles by doing that just to gain attention. I’ve mainly seen it with Autism and OCD. I do get some people make jokes about their disability- I always joke about my disabilities, I think that’s fine. Most people joke to try and make light of a situation they have to deal with. It’s just the people that treat like a quirky trait and even boost up the stereotypes of these disabilities. That or they don’t take people with disabilities seriously. It also comes off that our disability is our whole personality when it isn’t- I’m not ashamed of my disability but I also don’t like feeling the struggles I deal with aren’t serious. I even had people in real life act like my struggles aren’t a matter to take seriously. If any of this makes sense?

I Hope So has a community of people who are respectful and understanding, most of them have disabilities and read the comic because it gives them comfort. Storm is one of my comfort characters due to both of us having ADHD and just seeing her living her best life gives me comfort that I could do that as well. It’s really nice seeing community like this- built on respect and compassion, just everyone loving on a comic that makes all of them feel strong and confident in themselves. Especially the LGBT+ and disabled. It’s possibly the most healthy fandom I’m in so I’m glad I found the comic.

Thank you so much, anon, and we're glad to hear that both the comic and the community brings you comfort and that you feel safe and happy within it. And hard agree on everything you've stated. I'm going to be honest and say that, as somebody who was ostracised and constantly branded as "different" and "weird" for undiagnosed autism, it really annoys me how people view it as a 'quirk' nowadays. This isn't some cool kid's club, these disabilities can affect individuals very deeply and can define their life to the point where - like you've stated - they feel like they cannot have the opportunities and a chance at happiness like neurotypicals can. For some people to try and wear it like some fun little costume and perpetuate harmful stereotypes is just insulting.

And I've never vibed with fandom or communities because they either range from being super clique-y to just downright toxic so I'm also glad that we've been able to build our own community around this comic and share it with you all and have it be a comfort and a safe space that you've all kept up for us. Thank you all. <33 - RJ

I don't know who needs to hear this but two things can be true at once. Self-diagnosis is important because we all self-diagnose in a way before getting an official confirmation, some people don't have access to the proper healthcare to get diagnosed, some people live in countries that have much more stigma around mental health than the west. When you spend your whole life feeling like a non-human, you know something's different you just need to figure out what.

But at the same time, the way social media has started taking adhd/autism has quirky trends that means you have superpowers and diagnosing random strangers on the internet based on one singular information is absolutely harmful. "Oh this person has a specific interest? Must be autism" some people just are passionate. A vast majority of adhd/autism symptoms not only overlap but also are at first glance common things that even neurotypicals do. And reducing very serious symptoms that complicate our existence, we end up with oversimplification and do more harm to neurodivergent awareness than it could do any good to it. It's the exact same thing neurotypicals have done to ocd, and no one seems to be alarmed about it.

And more than once I've seen self diagnosed people focus on "low needs" autistic people or quirky loud and fun ADHDer because those people are like the people with anxiety on 2014 Tumblr. They want to be special and not like the others and take one part of their personality and turn it into a misdiagnose. And again, it does so much harm to neurodivergent awareness. I haven't forgotten how with all the things that could have been criticised about the Good Doctor, you guys decided to turn a very real depiction of a meltdown into a meme. And just because the show doesn't represent the way autism shows up in you or your acquaintances, doesn't mean it represents no one.

Self-diagnosis is important to many people who need to understand themselves but don't have access to the related professionals in order to be officially diagnosed. But I'll be damned if I don't point out what's wrong about how widespread it is on social media.

[autism--wizard]

A list of some of my least favourite comorbidities:

- anxiety + stomach problems (they make each other worse)

- chronic fatigue + insomnia (unfair)

- chronic migraines + adhd (migraines are boring and adhd makes dealing with boredom incredibly difficult)

- auditory processing disorder + adhd (easily distracted + bad at understanding sounds makes conversations really difficult)

- chronic fatigue + adhd + pathological demand avoidance (3 different flavours of Bad At Getting Stuff Done)

- autism + chronic pain (have you ever really needed to stim but moving at all is incredibly painful? not fun. also my autism makes me worse at judging how much stuff is going to make a flare up happen)

- eczema + ocd (one of my ocd things is scratching at my skin to make sure I clean off the bad things properly and that makes my eczema a lot worse)

One peculiar thought has latched onto me and the deeper I dig in the more sense it makes.

It's hard for me to come to the point now, so without further ado onwards to the crisis

Despite having a diagnosis, how come I keep thinking there must be something else wrong with me?

Autism itself in my life seems to have been scaled down to some quirky stuff, the reason for this being both my family's treatment of the diagnosis ("I don't see this as a disorder in you, you don't have a disorder" "I like your asperger's, it makes you funnier", "Well you deal with it, you never had any problems because of that" (<-the gall to say that despite knowing I was bullied in school is unbelievable btw) "It's better you were never diagnosed as a child, it would be traumatizing to be carried around psychiatrists and psychologists offices as a kid and make you feel like the weird one and be stigmatized" etc.) and the prelavent memes and posts on the internet I keep seeing (on a smaller scale though bc there are many serious posts here too)

So most possibly all of that has caused to me myself to internalize this skewed view of this disorder (emboldened because I am fucking tired of being told that it is not a disorder and trying to argue otherwise)

And what did that cause?

I stopped recognizing that autism might be the source of stuff I experience, thus leading into me looking into multiple other disorders and similiar. But, shocking thought, maybe I don't have any of the stuff I think I might have and the reason for them actually is in the thing I DO have?

(The only thing that is actually quite probable is that I have comorbid adhd considering that I basically fit almost all the criteria for the mixed type.)

Maybe it's not ocd, but a specific mix of rituals connected to a set of my literal convictions.

Maybe I dont have a cluster c personality disorder, but rather the anxiety comes from living as a neurodivergent person in a neurotypical society? Maybe all my past experiences of being misunderstood, exploited, made fun of and so on are the real reason for social anxiety and trouble with assertiveness?

Maybe it's not dermatillomania or non suicidal self injury disorder or anything like that, maybe it's just one of the ways I stim. Which is not actually a rare way of stimming.

Maybe it's not depression, maybe I just have early signs of incoming autistic burnout?

Maybe it's hard not to dehumanize myself and pathologocize things I experience when I'm so far from the 'normal'? If I'm not allowed to call myself "not normal" solely because of my autism ("nooo of course you are normal! There's nothing abnormal about you :>), then, maybe, if there is something else wrong with me, oh, maybe then I can be taken and take myself seriously.

Maybe autism is not just the "quirky", "fun" stuff. Maybe it's also so so much other experiences.
