Dear Hyper mobile peeps!! My ribs is doing a thing where it feels like they’re slightly misaligned and I need to “crack them in place” as you would a knuckle or other joint when it feels weird™ and needs a good poppin’
Is this a sign I should take seriously? Is this a thing? All I know is that it’s painful and I desperately want someone to push my rib cage in CPR-style to make it stop hurting so bad when I move or breathe wrong

sometimes you just have to let yourself be a bit neurodivergent.
i hate going out, it gives me a lot of anxiety and sensory input that i dont like, and i am often forced to talk to people.
so i do this thing on more difficult days, or sometimes just for fun, where i "bring a fictional character with me". i walk and imagine Fictional Character walking next to me. they talk to me, reassure me, hype me up, whatever i need them to do.
today dean winchester came christmas shopping with me. he went over the list with me of stuff i needed to get, told me i was doing a good job every time i finished in a certain shop, reminded me to take a deep breath when i got a little overwhelmed.
and yea. its kinda silly. and i know its just me talking to myself in a different voice, but it Works! especially since all of my special interests/hyperfixations tend to be tv/movie related.
so do what you gotta do to Get Shit Done. stop holding yourself to neurotypical standards. if you need Fictional Character to tell you you're doing a good job, do it! if you need Favourite Singer to walk you to school, do it! yea it might feel silly but you're literally fighting against your own brain to get stuff done every single day. you can have a little self indulgent daydream, as a treat.

had to cancel my adhd/autism eval today bc insurance didn’t cover it and it’d be $2500 out of pocket…
So ofc I told my dad and he was like go to this psychiatrist your sister sees. I looked up psychiatrist and she specializes in PSTD, insomnia, anxiety, and depression… not ADHD or autism. But my parents only know I’m looking to get my adhd diagnosed. But my dad is like just go see her and let her know your concerns anyways.
Whatever I’m like I’ll call and tell the receptionist I want to schedule bc anxiety/depression and let the Dr know I believe it’s deeper than that and why.
And then my parents start going on and on about how it could be nothing. I could go through all this stuff and despite what I believe (know about myself) it could be NOTHING. And my dad starts saying how it could limit me bc I’ll have a label now and I’m trying to explain that it’s more so the fact that I’ll finally, FINALLY, have a reason as to why I’m so “scatterbrained” and feel like all the “wrong” things about me actually had a name and I’ll be able to find resources to help me. And he’s like it could be nothing though! It could be that you don’t get a diagnosis because you’re just in your head!
Like this is exactly why I haven’t told them I highly suspect I’m autistic (2 years of research for autism in women and adults, 5 years of research of adhd in women and adults) but no EYE could be wrong and just trying to find something to blame as to why I felt like things never clicked growing up.

lately i’ve been trying to make my life into something that’s worth living again. wearing clothes i like. cutting my hair the length i want. brushing my teeth, trying to remember to floss. stretching my body. taking vitamins, and my meds. practicing new hobbies. revisiting old ones. going to therapy. hell, even trying a new major and avenue for a career. at the end of the day you have to make your life into a life you want to live. i think maybe that’s what it’s all about.

This is really funny to me because he’s most likely either interested or hyperfixating. This is why adhd is not a LACK of attention, but a differently-motivated interest system which causes issues with PRIORITIZING attention. Hyperfixating is an ADHD trait, which is why the concept of “oh he’s focusing, the adhd symptoms are gone” is hilarious to me.
Scientists once thought that ADHD symptoms were always present. But previous research from Rapport, who has been studying ADHD for more than 36 years, has shown the fidgeting was most often present when children were using their brains' executive functions, particularly "working memory." That's the system we use for temporarily storing and managing information required to carry out complex cognitive tasks such as learning, reasoning and comprehension.

Not to mention that uhhhh…. Most “gifted children” were undiagnosed adhd/autistic especially. All the “gifted kid stuff” means is that you are taught to become even more dependent on academic success for validation of self-worth and personhood.
ohhhhh I get it now. the "gifted kid" discourse exists because people see it fundamentally as a sign of Privilege and not as a largely meaningless category that puffs up weird children before setting them up for the same unremarkable lives as everyone else; thus they interpret people going "the educational system gave me false expectations before ultimately abandoning me to the same heartless world as everyone else" as "why am I, The Main Character, not getting everything I ever wanted."
