#but I need my adhd to work with me first

[starcatchingsnake]

…thinking about the impact being shown someone else’s life and death, dying yourself, being violently brought back to life, and then inheriting that person’s aura and powers would have on a person.

Specifically Aira Shiratori, how would witnessing someone destroy their whole being for their child, only for it to amount to nothing, change a person, how would the trauma that she experienced continue to live on through Aira?

Would she begin to hate the smell of Seiko’s cigarettes because the heavy cloud of smoke makes her forearms itch, and her eye burn with phantom pains? Would the ash invade her lungs and would a child’s scream pierce her ears?

As she breathes in the scent would she even realize why her body has tensed, as in preparation for a battle? Or why her heart rate has skyrocketed, why she’s now clutching at her chest, eyes darting around frantically for the source of her unease?

Is that part of why she’s distanced herself from the Ayase household? Why she holds Momo at an arms length when she’s grown closer to the rest of their friends? Is the smell of burning which clings to Momo’s clothing why Aira remains reluctant to grow close? Because no matter how hard she tries, that pain and indescribable panic always surfaces whenever Momo’s near?

How long would it take before all of these new sensations and constant anxiety over the simplest of things broke her? How long until she’s begging to be let go of all of this?

Had an ADHD assessment a few years ago and the fuckwit that assessed me said, as a direct quote, "You're too smart to have ADHD." Like that's not any type of paraphrasing, that stupid fucking statement is burned in my brain forever and has been since I heard it.

I talked to my psychiatrist about getting a referral to a different psychologist for assessment, and she agreed and sent it in.

Today I got a call that said they don't agree that I need reassessment, and I'm welcome to pursue it elsewhere, but they won't provide reassessment. Which is just.

I don't even know where to start with that one. I just needed to get it out. I'm so tired.

"maybe writing this In Sound Mind fic will get me back fully into a writing mood and i can finally start writing my THINGVRAI fic!"

and then that didn't fucking happen

[seventh-district]

several days and 15 thousand words later, i am relieved to report that the suffocating urge to Write Something has been sated and no longer has me in a chokehold

we have an especially bad migraine where I noticed us getting aura (mostly being pissed off and upset in a specific way) for several hours before it started and we've taken pain meds but I'm not sure they've actually helped. they have definitely given us side effects though and I feel very spaced out and nauseous and generally shit.

we've also had way worse ADHD symptoms for the last few days to the point of being pretty much unable to focus on anything besides like 2 things we've hyperfixated on. we've had so much trouble starting tasks and keep struggling to hold a train of thought or focus long enough to even figure out what we need to do each day despite having all our Habitica dailies to tell us.

our brain is all over the place and I'm not really sure what to do with it or what would help but it's just occurred to me that sometimes our ADHD gets really bad in the buildup to some of our worst migraines and now I'm just hoping that both the migraine and other shit ease off soon because I'd like to be able to function

my brother is questioning whether he has adhd and possibly pursuing a diagnosis and i honestly think it would on some level be very funny if i, the female sibling, received an adhd diagnosis in early elementary school and my brother did not until after graduating from college because it’s so contrary to the gender norms. i told my mom that he had girl adhd and she did not find that funny. sorry for making 900 oversharing posts today everybody.

how tf did me facetiming someone i matched with on tinder turn into them giving me unsolicited advice about giving people your full attention after i already let them know that i recently got diagnosed as adhd and it’s hard for me to focus on just one thing/person and then them telling me that “based on my behavior” they think i’m autistic like ?? didn’t ask, we literally started messaging each other like a day ago, even if i am autistic (which wouldn’t be a bad thing if i am) when has it ever been socially acceptable to tell someone you JUST MET that you think they’ve got some kind of mental disorder/illness/disability/etc.

my friends have mentioned that i might be autistic and that’s fine bc i’ve spent a lot of time with them and they actually know me and i take their perspective of me very seriously because they’re the people who see me 100% unfiltered and have known me whenever i’ve been completely unmedicated. i trust their word.

this person from tinder, however, i have sent like maybe 20-30 messages to where we talked about nanowrimo and i was like omg it’d be so cool to meet someone who also writes, whether it’s as friends or as more, i would love that—only for our facetime call to be less than 20 minutes long and for them to try and diagnose me as autistic just because i, after ALREADY TELLING THEM that i have adhd and after them asking about meds and me telling them that i haven’t taken my adhd meds today because i didn’t have work and also i’ve taken multiple naps today which has made my head even more foggy and made it even harder than usual to focus, found it difficult to focus.

like. i wasn’t unresponsive. i wasn’t ignoring them. i was listening and i was responding, i just also was looking between my phone and my laptop screen.

which okay i understand that maybe i’m just frustrated because of the “based on your behavior” comment because an 18 minute facetime call does not give someone enough interaction time to try and fucking diagnose me as anything, and maybe this is more of a we just didn’t vibe and that’s fine, i don’t think they’re like a bad person or anything and if nothing else i’m glad the mismatched vibes were felt before deciding to meet up or anything, but also.

eighteen minutes. literally eighteen minutes and they fucking “based on your behavior i think you’re autistic” and “here’s some advice, when meeting new people you should give them your full attention”

FUCK that.
