that tiktok audio that’s like ‘I was joking but I don’t think it’s a joke anymore’ about me and my sibling joking about our family’s vast collection of neurodivergencies disorders we haven’t been diagnosed with (yet) because is it actually our own brains that have a specific neurodivergency or is it being raised in a circle of completely unaddressed mental health issues and NDs

#i had a bottle of frose on my lunch break I’m bout to use the tags as therapy proceed with caution #I’ve been tested and diagnosed add/adhd twice at least.#don’t think I’ve ever been tested for ASD or OCD. but uhhh #I’ve been doing thinking and reflecting for a whiiiiiile like the entire pandemic has been me like do I WANT to have this so I have an excus #or am I afraid of actually being something else #p #my moms side is TEEMING with ND and mental illness #my mom and her brother and their dad are ocd. my sister would get diagnosed if she gets to therapy #my mom had a falling out with her sister over a decade ago when my mom tried suggesting my cousin might be autistic and my aunt was furious #which is offense to us bc my mom said so bc she had to fight her own dyslexia and ocd and adhd and getting me and my sister diagnosed #my sister is the third generation of severely dyslexic and #the trauma of your family line clearly having severe neurodivergency and being Irish Catholic so doing nothing about it #anyways this is to say I think I’m gonna work myself up to try a self reporting RAADS test #like my mom is great with other people having disabilities especially given her line of work and her experiences #but when it comes to us….and ME especially bc I look fine and I should be fine and be better always
