ADHD and Transitions

Mollys ADHD Mayhem

[madeforunkownpurpose]

I'm scared that if I eventually transition I will look like a dumpster. I'm like 6'2" and a bit overweight at like 285lbs. I'm scared that I'll be built quite shittily especially because of my general build right now. Hoping that with some weight loss the E will help my build a bit. I wanna be pretty but I'm worried I'll look horrendous. AAAAAAAA!!!

I never understood the “autistics have a hard time with transitions” thing, bc doesn’t everyone have a hard time with transitions???

Yet I was only ever thinking about HUGE, life-altering transitions, like moving far away or having a kid, which is scary for anybody (but tbf autistics probably still rank higher on the “this is fucking terrifying” scale than allistics do).

But apparently, it also applies to the most basic transitions in day to day tasks. It’s harder for us to switch from one task to the next bc our brains generally function most efficiently when we are able to work in one uninterrupted segment on a task.

I’ve alwaysss struggled with this, especially when I need to use the bathroom - I will hold it for very long periods of time to avoid interruption in my task. For a while I thought it was just bc I also have adhd which causes lack of dopamine/executive dysfunction, and makes it difficult to *initiate* tasks. Which ofc plays a big part into it too. But I never knew it was a double whammy with the classic autism trait of “change and transitions are harder.” (Also the ignoring of my interoception doesn’t help with me avoiding using the bathroom)

This weekend marks two important milestones for me: my 35th birthday and one year on testosterone. It's not easy being a transgender and autistic person but I am proud of the person I have become. 🏳️‍⚧️🌈

My niece (in a family chalk full of neurodivergencies) is two and keeps absolutely losing it (meltdown perhaps) when she’s forced into transitions with little to no warning (understandable bc girl same) and my brother (her conservative catholic-convert father) keeps trying to comfort her by hugging her and saying things like “ohh you’re fine, nothing actually bad is happening to you, you’re just my little drama queen aren’t you” and holy fuck I can’t even type these out without my face twisting up

Anyway it’s not my place to step in and even if it were I’m the most ridiculously PDA asocial non-confrontational kind of autistic there is so I don’t even know if I’m psychologically capable anyway.

But still, adults treating me like that as a kid had me believing it was okay and good so adults kept treating me that way well into my adulthood so I didn’t understand until mid twenties that nobody should be treated that way, I’m not “just a drama queen,” my very real and valid problems have just been dismissed my whole life.

I do not want this to happen to her.

everyone that says 'percy is not stupid he just thinks he is' is actually so right, that's like borderline self-sabotage and sometimes adhd-ers does that. it's just that this time the show isn't fully from percy's pov. the boy can think when he wants and needs too, he's just slow sometimes.

My general plan for going back to school is to skip school today, so I can psych myself up into going tomorrow. Because I really need a whole day in which to encourage myself and boost my self confidence. Because tomorrow could be the beginning of a new routine. I'll be at school from 7/8 am to 2 pm, with stomach issues and a notes app on my phone that doesn't f***ing work without internet anymore! So i really do need the time to psych myself up. And I may need all the luck I can get.

Maybe I should pray to all the gods of luck across the mythological realms. I'm not even really religious, but desperate times call for desperate measures. I'm getting a little hyperbolic here, perhaps. But I think stress entitles me to dramatics and fear.

Help me help others?

Okay, so this isn't really my usual type of post, but I recently was hired as a peer support specialist. They hired me specifically for my lived experience as a queer, trans person in the Midwest and a big part of my work will be providing resources.

I was hoping to compile a relatively exhaustive list/database of resources for a myriad of different issues and I intend to do a lot of research on my own but I was hoping you all might give me a hand by replying with some resources that have been helpful to you. They don't have to specifically be LGBTQIA related, of course, but those are especially helpful.

I'm talking about things relating to college, housing, transportation, childcare, etc. A huge part of peer support is helping people traverse barriers and I know that some of you have an experience that is valuable in that area.

If you can, please reply below with websites, hotlines, or otherwise that have been helpful to you in transitional periods of life and if you don't have anything, please consider reblogging. I plan to create some sort of organized document and when I have something composed, I'll make it available here as well. I really want to do well by my future clients and I know that with your help, I can do even better.

Thanks in advance!

i wrote a silly little poem at work and now my brain is like ‘YES. TIME TO WRITE. TIME TO CREATE.’

which like, makes Sense. creating something no matter how nonsensical or small being the trigger to motivate and inspire even more creation.

but it still feels like a constant upwards battle to get my brain to even begin something.

How comes Ghost gains a likeness towards Godseeker? (I wanna know mooore about the AU sorrynotsorry)

In Game Godseeker at first was very arrogant towards them and just started to show interest in Ghost, when they reached higher Pantheons. She doesn't strike me as the Kind of Person that would be interested in Rebuilding Hallownest because the Bugs there are no Gods. But feel free to change my mind!

Yeah, theyre not gods to a "Higher being" degree, but she considers them "holy" in some way....? you can actually see statues of vengeflies and husks in the hall of gods Which is kind of funny knowing how lowly she thinks of the knight at first lol

my interpretation is that the "holiness" these bugs possess comes from being under the influence of a higher being, be it Radiance or pk in Hallownest's case (mantis lords being the exception for being cool as fuck), which would explain why she doesn't want to have anything to do with the Knight, as it probably has its own thing going on that she did not understand at the time.

In this case she probably wouldn't care much for the bugs at Dirtmouth since most are new to the kingdom. But now that tk ascended into "godhood", maybe she wouldn't mind them much for being it's friends…? idk

As to why Ghost ends up liking Godseeker, i think that her call for powerful beings might have unintentionally pulled it into godhome, getting it to complete pantheons and, subconsciously, getting interested in her. even through all the insults and everything. i mean who doesnt like a big mean woman am i right  haha *SWEATING*

THOUGH, as to why i believe it feels affection towards her i'll be talking about that below the cut (post got a bit too long sorryy)

ok just to be clear, the knight barely gets any sort of indication of personality in game, this is all just me overanalyzing Every single little crumb of possible person(bug?)hood I could find. which is kind of nothing honestly since all of this could be intentional or not, but i'm feasting on that shit like crazy

1: One thing (and its kind of the main thing that funnily made me descend into this rabbit hole) is that canonically, you can only gift her a delicate flower AFTER completing p2, which by this point it very much knows what she is like. Now i am aware that this could mean literally anything, but i highly doubt it would gift her a flower out of hate or indiference. That shit is hard as hell to deliver.

2: So a while ago i made this gifset about its walking animations. Something that, as I've noted in the post, it normally does when confronted with something important to it... For some reason TC felt compelled to program that for whenever it encountered Godseeker in between pantheons, despite the slight inconvenience it might cause for gameplay, so it was probably not added for that. at the very least i assume that theres a sort of respect it has for her

3: this post team cherry made promoting Godmaster which i find very funny

4: ok i know this sounds like reaching too hard but im just so obsessed with how despite falling down so violently, it still holds her so very gently here . it's almost as if it puts in the effort to not hurt her in a way. i mean shes standing there on her goddamn bug tippy toes and she barely even budges ? like 🏳️‍🌈?

5: shes hot asfuckkkkkk i rest my case
