#fortunately I have ADHD

Me, encountering poorly written fics on AO3: well it is the site where anyone can just post anything

Me, revising my own work: omg, this will never be good enough to post on the site where anyone can just post anything

I did something completely out of my comfort zone and I lived!

anyway I just had the most frustrating appointment with a doctor I've maybe ever had

[kotaerukoto]

Also the longer I play DR1 the more I think about how crazy Makoto's luck can be, and part of that is the subtlety it works with. Objectively you can't call it good OR bad (even if Makoto dismisses it as misfortune). It's not like Komaeda's luck where it has a clear, predictable, and even exploitable pattern (extreme good thing happens, extreme bad thing happens, repeat ad infinitum, and if Komaeda makes a good or a bad thing happen to himself the inverse WILL happen eventually). It's a whole different monster that operates in shades of gray where the only certainty is that killing Makoto is absurdly difficult.

we all recall how when i got top surgery i was sleeping on the couch in my book nest because i wasnt allowed to climb into my loft bed, right? in Preparation for the surgery i made a little medication station by simply shoving a bunch of books to the back of their shelf and putting all my post-surgical painkillers etc in front of them, which seemed a reasonable idea at the time. (specifically it was the shelf where i put all my danmei novels published by seven seas, because conveniently they all have the same dimensions.)

and then (of course!) the pill bottles just became part of the background; i got used to shoving them aside every time i interacted with those books. until today when i randomly noticed them again like "ah yes my bookshelf where i keep my danmei and unused opiate painkillers -- hm, maybe i should do something about that...?"

Me: OK, I've got DOK to finish, Chaos knights (I as hold totally build a speaker base and get sonic weapons for the tyrant...), dwarf warband for warcry, technically there's unfinished Tau and Votann too, and that's just the GW stuff...

Also me: What if I kitbashed together some abhuman (catgirl) pirates using guard, GSC and Escher gang bits. 3 valkyries, 3 aquilas. Sure those are legends models but the theme calls for more air transports... it would be a really cool thematic army and...

Tonight I am frustrated by the fact that I still have a lot of bias to unlearn when it comes to dealing with students with special needs

(As in, it would be nice if I could be effortlessly good at it, but alas)

hold up are anti self-diagnosis people like fully aware of the cons of formal autistic diagnosis

[saintcranky]

I hate how things like autism and ADHD are being framed is something trendy among kids, as if there aren’t currently middle-aged adults discovering that they have it and suddenly everything about their lives makes sense.

Almost all resources are aimed at kids. Adults flounder trying to figure out how they are to use this new diagnosis to make their best life.

How to manage the burn out, the overwhelming sensory input in a world that expects them to carry on like “normal” while juggling kids, significant others, career and other adult things.

for me my meds are like my cane: i would like to not need them, but in my case they are objectively a net positive (i know this isn't the case for everyone) and i will use them because i want and deserve to feel better.

and honestly even then i've evolved with my personal feelings on my usage of both. gone from not wanting to use them at all ever to being thankful i have them when i need them.

it's a crutch in the same way a cane—or a fucking crutch—is a crutch. if you tell me not to use my cane when i know i need it because "i need to learn not to use it" as if I hadn't BEEN doing that, you're getting thwacked over the head with it.

there's a difference between advocating for not IMMEDIATELY overmedicating people (which is good, 100%, jumping immediately to especially high doses of or generally potent medications which could be dangerous for someone is a shitty practice) vs. shaming people for taking medication at all and some of y'all would do well to learn it.

“if you take medication for that, you’ll be taking medication all your life!!” yeah, and?? bud, i already put on my glasses every morning. it’s like. a condition of mine, not a side hobby i’m pursuing irresponsibly.

Had to let property management and someone from the gas company in for some maintenance and they were actually willing to wear masks on request?! I am pleasantly surprised this day
