#mental health assessment

aaaaaaa [enter more lowercase screaming]

I finally got my ADHD assessment (last Saturday, 30th of December). Not sure how it's gonna come out at all. I just hope I have it because while it would be nice not having it I don't want to have faked everything. I don't care if they call me "high-functioning" or "low-functioning" (unlikely) but I'm just soo nervous.

Also, for anyone who wants to have an assessment for ADHD be sure to not have anything else for that day. Or, be ready to cancel because it's fucking taxing. I was exhausted and the woman who did my test/assessment or whatever knew it. She's obviously used to it (as she's been doing it for a while) because she was like, let's take a break after this phase. (There were 10 "phases")

It truly was taxing that I had to rest the rest of the day (had it at 13:00 and finished at around 14:30 or 15:00 [not sure] so it was a little long) and didn't get up for anything other than dinner (was pretty hard to do so) and then didn't get up the next day until 13:45 or something.

(Also some people I know told me that autism's assessments were also very tiring.)

I will admit I looked at the questions for the second test, and the reason why I don’t like it is because the questions are worded in a way that they kind of already assume that you have the condition. Do you ever hear a ringing in your ears? Yes, because I have a tinnitus, not schizophrenia. Does reality sometimes seem threatening to you? Yes, when I’m scared like if I’m walking at night or if my car breaks down in a bad neighborhood. I wish the questions were worded in a way that made it clear that there’s a difference between being afraid and your mind playing tricks on you, and seeing someone or something that has no reason to be there. Like, in a different test one of the questions was, “do you see people that you know aren’t there?” Yeah, I used to be really afraid of the dark and I would be walking and I hear rustling and think someone was hiding in the bushes, or maybe following me, and I would walk faster, and my mind would get more freaked out. I didn’t think there was actually a person there, I was just scaring myself, because it was dark, and I was alone. I mean, mental health is hard maybe Neurotypical people never freak themselves out thinking there might be someone hiding behind a tree or in the woods somewhere. Maybe they never think that the echo of their own footsteps is someone following them. Maybe that’s only schizophrenics. I just wish these questions were a little bit more clear.

Disability pride month PSA that schizophrenia and related disorders often starts to present in your mid 20s, so if things have been getting harder, life is less manageable, you feel less and less connected to reality, don't be afraid to get an assessment. It is not life ending, and living as someone with schizophrenia is worthwhile!!! It is a neurodivergence like any other, one that is disabling but doesn't make you less human. Getting early screenings and treatment is shown to give better outcomes for patients!!

Help- I don't know what I feel ꒰(˶◞ ‸ ◟˶)꒱ - Journal Prompts

Figuring out your feelings is super important for solving problems. If you just bottle them up, they can turn into actions that hold you back.

So, take a moment to understand what you’re feeling—it can really help you move forward!

Here's some prompts

Which kind of situation have I encountered that make me think twice -> Was there any change recently (mindset etc.)

Where do you feel unsure -> What makes you feel that way

In which ways do I police myself -> is it stricter then with others

How do I feel about others -> do I put them on a pedestal; do I put - - myself down; are they "enemies"

What 3d actions does this feeling provoke is it demontivation, laziness etc.

Which mindset do I have in the situation: do I think about the past, present or future

Does the feeling appear in uncomfortable random situations (could it provoke subconscious fears and negative thoughts)

Access when the feeling feels the strongest is it with people, alone or in special places

Ignoring your emotions can leave you feeling unmotivated and low-energy, making it harder to reach your goals.

Finding out what causes is solving it to 50% because we can bring the subconscious in the conscious and deal with it and bring new abundance in our lives

I started watching Taskmaster less than a year ago and it's helped my executive dysfunction so much. It is the ultimate "doing a minor task" hack.

A few of the ones I use a lot:

Wash your hair. Cleanest hair wins. Your time starts now.

Catch the bus on time. You must have everything in your backpack and have completed your morning routine before you leave. Person on the bus closest to the time it leaves, wins. You have an hour; your time starts now.

Wash and fold the laundry. Cleanest laundry wins. Your time starts now.

Complete the homework assignment. It must check all the criteria on the rubric. The Taskmaster will assess your answer on a scale of 0-100. Closest to 100 wins. You have two days; your time starts now.

Wash the dishes. Cleanest dishes wins. Your time starts now.

I know what this is not what Mr. Alex Horne had in mind when he made this show but it has improved my life so much

It's World War Me today. Woke up in a panic, heart pounding, took me an hour to drag myself out of bed to make some coffee, there's food here and I'm really hungry but I don't wanna eat, got this big assignment and loads of work to do over the next few days, and I'm fighting my own mind the whole way. I watched some clips which @arthurflecksgirl posted to give me some comfort & I wish Arthur was here to help me. But also I know I wouldn't want him here because I feel like I'm only letting him down. I can't take much more of this, I need a new brain.😭

christian knows jack is autistic but never let him get diagnosed because 1. he's ableist and 2. autistic people aren't allowed to to enter any medical field. yes, you read that right. yes, still to this day

[icewindandboringhorror]

It's always interesting to hear about people's weird/unexpected "alternate life paths". Like, something that you could have done with your life, a job you almost took, a school you almost went to, etc - that was still actually realistic enough that it could have happened, but NOW it seems to not suit your current personality.

Like for example, I currently hate advertising (how manipulative it is, brands trying to be 'relatable', social media amplifying it to an obnoxious extreme, etc.) so much that even seeing a little ad before a youtube video is grating to even witness, but there was a point in time where I was genuinely seriously considering going into marketing/making commercials as a career lol. Or like, I have a relative who was very inclined to be a pastor when they were younger, even though today they're a super strong atheist, etc. etc.

girl who deserves a gold sticker for having a mature and measured relationship conversation instead of letting the self sabotage tendencies win
