#and recommended me a specialist

[trickstarbrave]

It really sucks when I’m talking abt a medical experience and someone said that it sounded awful and like doctors weren’t helping b4 I then explain acrually it was the only time every doctor and nurse I saw was super helpful and nice, that I just went from okay-ish to literally being hospitalized within a very short timespan. They were taking it seriously and believed me and ordered tests and everything. They did tests at first to make sure I wasn’t dying and when they found only a few abnormalities I was referred to a specialist. And then while waiting for my appointment I was hospitalized :’D

And this sucks bc this shouldn’t be weird. It shouldn’t be a shockingly rare situation where I was suffering, in agony, and potentially having serious health problems that could hurt me long term or kill me that I was treated with compassion and given prompt treatment and help from ppl who looking out for my well-being. The worst I got was a couple of nurses bring very mildly annoyed but everyone has off days at work, they still made sure I got what I needed right away and reassured me I’d be okay

I feel like Margo as a neurodiverse woman vying for a powerful position in the 60s would have a whole flow chart on how to lie to psychiatrists

My doctor's appointment is finally this week. So in just a few more days, I'll hopefully be getting my hands on some adhd medication

Who knows, maybe they could do something about the fibro, too. Or at least diagnose it. That's probably the first step lol

god i have been..... so out of it. move happened, thankfully where i ended up was not the worst case scenario i was afraid of but it's still rough. stress, food insecurity, trying to process new unfamiliar chaotic environment without being able to see much, having basically zero time in the day where at there's not at least one person in the central room where the kitchen is when usually at worst in my old place i'd have a few sanity hours at night while my stepdad was asleep, having very little room to actually stretch my legs and therefore exercise + do my main stim, having a godawful bed jesus fucking christ i hate memory foam so much, and walking on eggshells because the sister i've been staying with has gone from 'oh yeah i've got your back and we're besties, everything's fine :)' to kicking me out with 12 hours' notice the last time i had to move in with her, and Worsening Health Issues have just. left me totally brainfogged and out of social spoons, except for poking at solo rpgs and occasionally replying to one or two people/firing off twitter threads off the cuff during Moments of Clarity since it's easier than finishing a tumblr post. should try to adapt some of those at some point.

i know i keep saying that i miss posting and interacting regularly on this blog, but i do miss y'all and i miss writing up essays on here. and i hope people are doing well, or are headed for better days if you aren't.

very funny for the sleep and respiratory clinic to tell you not to come in if you experience "respiratory symptoms" in their covid safety message.....

Me vs confusing gender thoughts vs mental illness

[supercantaloupe]

i actually had a dr's appt this morning (regular checkup) and. man do you know how relieving it is to hear her say "weight's not important, just as long as you're active" when asked if i exercise

Went to the doctor for an ear problem and when he left to get my care notes I stole one of those caps to the earscopes they look into your ear with and used the cap to scratch an itch deep in my ear and that was 10/10

🌻💐🌵 for Irene #Irenesweep. Btw stares directly at Irene. Do you perhaps know the magnus archives.. or Jonathan Sims.

I do know about The Magnus Archives. I Think About It Every Day Of My Got Dam Life. I will not deny the influence it had on The Hallowed tbh, I don't think I could get away with it at this point sdahjkJAHKSLDG

🌻- What's this oc's mental health state?

Bad!!! Very bad!!! Before the story starts she's not holding it together very well. She's unable to keep her Monster traits in check, so she hasn't been home in. Quite a while! It gets easier once she meets the Main Boys and they help her figure out how to work through the more difficult aspects of her new status. If you would like a perfect snapshot of what I'm talking about, she is incapable of saying something that isn't true. Even if she doesn't know whether or not it would be true. So she has a carefully organized and alphabetized mental list of all the people she cares about, and if she gets nervous she will audibly go through the list declaring each of these people as safe just to check that she can even say it. She does this. VERY frequently

💐- Where is this oc's favorite place to relax?

Before becoming a Monster, it was definitely either her apartment or the library! Both places are quiet, calm, and she's besties with all the librarians :) She was thinking of working part-time at her local library before the whole. Y'know. Monster thing. They're all very worried about her

Post-Monster though, it would be a tie between the main Boy's dorm rooms or the park. The Boys are very supportive and helpful, and also the only people she knows that she can be fully comfortable around. The park is usually very quiet around sunset, and she likes being outside :)

🌵- How does this oc feel about physical affection?

If you give her a hug she WILL cry about it, and if she ends up in a cuddle pile she WILL fall asleep. The problem is getting her to relax enough to even attempt either of these things. She's never one to initiate, as well, but she will never turn down a good hug

#i do actually think i have adhd but i dont even kbow how i would proceed to be officially diagnosed here #esp being an almost 30 year old Yo I literally just rolled up to my PCP like "Hey, I think I might have ADHD, here are the reasons." Definitely helps if you have documentation from when you were a child, which I didn't at the time (I SURE DO NOW, but it turned out not to be necessary), but if you get the right doctor... sometimes they'll just fucking listen to you? When you talk? And believe you about your experiences? And that's incredible. I still have to call into the office every goddamn time I need a refill for my Adderall, which is bullshit, bc ADHD people are well known for planning ahead and keeping to a schedule, but. It's an improvement, you know.

...ngl, the fact that ADD and ADHD got condensed into ADHD when the hyperactivity specifically is part of the reason so many girls were simply not diagnosed drives me up the wall.

It's not that the whole name isn't bullshit, because it is. It describes the way people outside of our experience perceive us, as opposed to the difficulties that are part of our lived experience. Even from an outside standpoint, it's recognizable that "deficit" is not always the issue with our attention... but that's beside the point.

When psychiatrists noticed that ADD and ADHD were basically the same thing... they chose to favor the typical male presentation in the literal naming of the condition, and in doing so condemned a generation of girls (and other afab people) to suffer through being told they're so smart, they just don't apply themselves enough, that it's a personal failing they can't regularly turn in homework, that they're lazy for waiting until the last minute to work on an assignment... because those girls weren't hyperactive. Those girls just kind of drifted off and daydreamed in classes. Those girls doodled or wrote stories all through their school years, and functioned measurably worse when a teacher noticed they were doing that and tried to stop them. Those girls are now so many of my adult friends who are now being diagnosed with ADHD as adults, because the hyperactive part of the diagnosis almost solely applies to children (CHILDREN, when, I might note, this is a lifelong condition) who are socialized male.

We need a whole other name for the condition, because attention deficit is not our problem at all. But my god, the hyperactivity part actually ruined my life for so many years, because I had no way to explain to my dad why it physically hurt me to be bored, why I had to read or write or doodle in class in order to keep my focus, why I excelled in tests but failed at homework so my grades sucked because of that. No one even considered I might have ADHD, all through my childhood, but earlier this year I had the opportunity to go through all my grade school reports, and they could not be MORE CLEARLY talking about a child with ADHD. "Pleasure to have in class", "assignments not complete", "does not pay attention in class", "Birdie is a highly intelligent child with specific and unique needs" (I would LOVE more follow-up on that one, from third grade, do not have it). But I was a quiet and reserved child, so obviously I couldn't have ADHD.

I'm legitimately angry about it in retrospect. I went off my Adderall for a couple months recently, as an adult who only started taking Adderall as an adult, and it completely fucked up my ability to function. For years I was just out there as a teenager struggling through high school and college entirely unmedicated because as a child I was too withdrawn to be diagnosed. Fucking wild and also infuriating.
