it’s quiet in my head
#first time on adhd meds#i didn’t realise the extent of my self produced background brain noise#it’s all quiet#is this the default???? is this how it’s supposed to be???? it’s wild#never in my life has my head been quiet#i think i’m having a nice calm afternoon#i’m not plagued by thoughts#i know they’re there but i can put them on the shelf for later#they’re not causing constant stress and pressure and guilt they’re just *there*#i unpacked the dishwasher with no external pressure of dirty dishes piling up on the counter#and i now have coffee and pumpkin bread#it’s so fucking quiet#I’m actually getting teary eyed oh my god#it’s so nice#adhd#actually adhd#adhd brain#adhd things#adhd meds#adult adhd#diagnosed at 26#neurodiversity#neurodivergent#neurospicy#mine

I tried drawing a nbc Lilia loosely inspired by the vampires
#not tagging properly#hello its been a while#was debating making his outfit more greyscale#but i feel like lilia would have a more colourful outfit#it suits him more#also guess who found out they have adhd#fully understand now why i go through art dry spells#tried medication but i now have a heart palpitation problem now with meds#fated to not get god powers and suffer#seriously i took vyvanse for the first time ever and it changed my life#so disappointed#insert crying emoji here#i had a taste of what being normal was like#...#sorry i dont have more art to post#when i have motivation#ive been drawing terrible looking bl on the side#but no way im posting that here

#I actually really like how this turned out.............#my art#temeraire#john granby#william laurence#tenzing tharkay#this picture is after a few drinks btw#I think Laurence secretly likes being touched but yk he's very stoic and he REFUSES to ask for it so everyone kind of assumes he doesn't??#but it. comes out a lil when he's drunk.#Tharkay is very unused to it but he's definitely not. opposed. to being touched. especially if its by Laurence...#Granby meanwhile does this all the time.#hes always falling asleep on people and clapping them on the shoulders and nudging them with his hip to get their attention#but it takes him like a bajillion years to hug Laurence for the first time cuz yk. Laurence is. Laurence.#and Laurence is also hesitant to initiate things like that bc he doesn't want to be weird (ITS NOT WEIRD TO HUG YOUR BEST FRIEND LAURENCE.)#tharkay meanwhile has never had very much desire to get close to someone physically or paid very much attention to it#and then he meets Laurence. who barely ever touches anyone. and suddenly whenever their hands brush tharkay is hyperaware of it#I have no idea what I'm saying#I've got a big fat cold and I deadass almost took my ADHD meds on accident instead of ibuprofen... it's 11pm.#that is to say. I'm a touch delirious#so I apologize sincerely if I completely mischaracterized them

#ok finally making a post about meds#I've not ever tried taking medication before. I was sorta raised with that classic 'dont rely on meds you have to learn to manage without'#I mean I was also raised with the idea that therapy is stupid unless you have 'real' trauma. and also like idk.#can't stay home from school unless your temp is over 100 or you're throwing up. etc. very suck it up mindset#so I was just really nervous to start. also of course worried about losing myself or whatever I know that's a silly fear but#it's also a common fear for a reason!!! anyways#so I finally was like 'I need to do something' when I realized I was so anxious I couldnt even get myself to go outside alone#like I just don't want to do ANYTHING alone to a detrimental effect. and it was butting into my ability to do my work...#for various reasons. but then ALSO adhd has been a constant issue with my work as well!#it is SO hard to write and draw on a weekly pace like I am without being able to focus#my whole life I've had these terrible nightmares constantly and I've always woken up constantly in the night#sleep has always been terrible so I've always dreaded going to bed.. ESPECIALLy because it didnt even make me less tired#it was more something that I just did because I had to.#but going to bed was always terrible. there have been times I was too scared to go to sleep for weeks on end...#I've been mitigating this for years of course. and recently I've been taking melatonin which has been helping too.#but I've also always struggled to get up. because I've always been EXTREMELY exhausted#but also anxious of what the day might bring... idk.#anyways it has all hit a point that I was like okay. I am doing as many coping mechanisms as I can. the psych said they were good too#but... it just has never been enough. it's never been enough to make me not tired it's never been enough to make me not scared#so I finally talked to the doc about it. and she was like youve def got smth wrong basically. which yah I know.. but yknow#anyways so I started taking wellbutrin. and I am so frustrated now. because it's WORKING#that constant looming sense of dread is gone. I'm excited to get up. I'm excited to go to bed BECAUSE I'm excited to get up#I feel like for years I've been holding on to the idea that I have to get up because I have to put something good out into the world#and I've been clinging to knowing that if nothing else. I am able to help other people feel better.#but now for the first time in my life I'm like. free of it. I didnt even know it was possible... and I'm so sad how much I've lost out on#and so frustrated how my whole life I've been told to put up with it and push through it. and treated like a failure for it being too much.#and just. It has only been 2 weeks. but the lack of anxiety is SO noticeable I'm so...#I'll never miss it. the adhd is still pretty present but like whatever. I can manage that better.#and I'm just crying because of all this combined.#I just. I hope I get to finally be the best I can be now. for myself but also for you guys!

1 out of 4 accelerated summer courses finished today. Next to go is Chem.
#i have not told my friends who are being supportive of me going to college#but i am very behind on chem#pretty much on top of english and psych#mind you the chem isn't hard it's just very time consuming and i work 50 hrs a week overnight#not even by choice on some level there's just literally nobody to work overnights#and It Is Such A Problem my single other coworker keeping nightshift alive at this 24/7 job and i are ... we have rioting to do#but anyways this is largely because i was having troubles with my adhd meds#and then hit the self destructive dread#which is such an odd problem to have when every other part of you is banging on the walls ready to go and kick ass#but so it goes#but i will catch up because i must and i want to and because i must#and because i didn't realize most of the people in my bio class were also going for the nursing program#i love the people on my bio class i'm super excited now#archivist talk#the archivist regrets starting nursing school#the archivist will get through it they just have to whine about it a little first#i was telling the archival assistants (my cats) but frankly one is too busy getting the zoomies and the other is trying to figure out#the best place to lay on me#and i shall not disturb her#my fair lady of orange#okay i work at 7P goodnight

Mr psychiatrist sir i have no clue if the meds are working or im euphoric because of yaoi. <-do you think this is ok to say next week at the appointment? Afterwards im getting paella with mom so i dont really care about what happens before... I cant admit why im getting paella though its too embarassing. Iykyk
#miauuuuu im so stressed im so stressed i mean im glad im able to be moved by my fictional interests again but im still aimless irl#and i like it. i like not having goals for my life. thats the problem. i really have no interest in the real world unless its an extension#of the fictional ones#head in hands. aghhh im dying to try paella for the first time because it's murr's favorite food. i need you to shoot me#im happy but i should want more i should want to be real. maybe thats what adhd meds are for instead. sure lets bet on those

joy of joys that definitely isn't going to be detrimental to my health and ability to function over the next few days: the post office lost the box containing the next months supply of my meds. and the pharmacy I get my pills from won't be open again till Monday. and getting them delivered will probably be another three or four days after that. Boy howdy is this going to be a fun and relaxing week.
#None of the pharmacies in my town are like. any amount of reliable.#this is the First time in a year of just getting my meds delivered that its failed to arrive before the last bottles were out#anyways im off my adhd. depression. anxiety. blood pressure. inflammation. pain. sleep and allergy meds for the next few days.🫠#im hoping all my comorbities going untreated at the same time makes them fight each other to the death. rendering me cured.

Peter Vincent you are the Baddest Girl around
song is "Bad Girl" by Usher
be the change you want to see in the world. if you want more david tennant as peter vincent edits, miss an entire night of sleep making one yourself, i guess.
#god i need him as a trophy husband so fucking bad y'all have no clue#it's a wee bit messy but that's alright bc this is my first time ever making an edit and i was working with beginner tools#you know you're obsessed with a character when you break into a whole new medium just for them#i've had this edit in my brain for like a month and it feels to good to get it out of there and on my screen#bc i rediscovered this song around the same time i first watched fright night 2011 so i can't hear it without thinking of her <3#ignore how i missed an entire night of sleep making it in an adhd-med-induced hysteria.#gotta love artistic interpretation bc i can listen to this misogynistic song about getting a woman off a pimp and fully be like#''actually this is about my special little guy who sucks and i love :)''#david tennant#peter vincent#fright night#fright night 2011#anton yelchin#cw smoking#cw drinking#cw blood#fan edit#running my mouth#made this with my hands#video

Got my first meeting with a psychiatrist in over a year since the last one demanded details about trauma when I was visibly sweating and shaking! Let’s hope today goes much better and that I have the prefrontal cortex online enough to leave if necessary instead of tolerating that kind of thing again
#note to everyone: if you say ‘I experienced xyz’ to a medical professional#on your FIRST VISIT#they are NOT supposed to require further and further details before moving the conversation along#they should take you at your word and realize that’s not the important part#the important part is hearing what symptoms you have had for how long and how they impact your daily life#so they can help you#NO ONE needs the details unless you choose to share them on your own time#and if someone is pressing you for things you’re not ready to talk about#LEAVE!!!! get up and LEAVE#i know that now#personal#this isn’t about sleep I’ve been going downhill in certain areas for weeks and haven’t gotten the boat to turn around#so I’m asking to start back on meds BEFORE things get really bad#i was planning to wait for the fall#but I’m struggling so much and I shouldn’t have to be#so. SSRI and asking about nonstimulant ADHD meds it is#the good thing is that while my self worth and competency and anxiety are in the toilet again#Im at least not feeling depressed and I’m not having all the sleep trouble I used to or the void feeling#my PTSD symptom improvement is still there it’s just anxiety and ADHD kicking my ASS

man, chronic fatigue is such a fucking scam. like, what do you MEAN other people don't randomly lose entire days to being so exhausted they can't keep their eyes open? what do you MEAN others don't have to constantly manage and budget their energy levels in order to shower??? you're telling me that how i feel every day when i wake up after 8-9 hours of sleep is how my friends feel when they come home from work after a long day??? are you kidding me???
#casey rambles#disability#chronic fatigue#okay to rb#also to be clear#i dont work#(because i cant)#and i literally take stimulant medication for adhd#and my bipolar meds also help#i used to be much worse than i am now wrt chronic fatigue#but the fact that im still THIS TIRED#ALL THE TIME#even with ALL THIS TREATMENT#when i first got medicated i was pissed#because i always used to get in trouble for answering 'how are you?' with 'im tired'#and adults would be like#'you cant be tired all the time'#and when i got meds suddenly i could think sometimes! the haze had mostly listed!#and now its like. oh. even with all of this improvement#i will still always be kindof tired. kindnof exhausted.#i will never be able to do as much as i want to do#as other people CAN do#because. well. i start with less energy#and i lose energy faster for the same tasks#it sucks
