#my AuDHD is confused

[rottenlittlefink]

Anti and anti-anti are constantly too confusing for me to differentiate so I’ll just call them pedophiles

all nine of the stretch goal designs for this campaign - I am not sure how many goals we will be able to reach but there will come a point where I won't be able to do any more goals unless I get fulfillment help, so we'll see if it gets to that point and if I can get help! below the cut are the names, info, and artist statements for each plushie! I may end up changing the names as I am still not sure about ash, sandy, kelly, and luca, but let me know if you like them!

Tristan The Depression Raccoon: Tristan’s plushie will come with a removable hoodie accessory! He loves cozy video games like animal crossing and stardew valley. There are not many widely used symbols for depression that I could find, so I chose Tristan's colors based on how my depression makes me feel, bruised and cold.

Ash the Anxiety Bunny Moth: Ash’s plushie will have fluffy moth antennae and removable magnetic wings similar to Bug’s plush! They love to visit the home depot lights section when their friends are with them! I chose gray and yellow for the main body colors because my anxiety personally deals with uncertainty and things out of my control. The green comes from one of the anxiety flags created by Beyond MOGAI. To add moth features was a suggestion I got that I thought fit very well!! 

Sandy the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Kitty: Sandy is an artist and loves to draw and paint landscapes! Her wings will be attached via magnet, similar to Bug’s wings. The colors of her design are based on the OCD flag created by lucellion, with spirals in her paws to represent repetitive thought processes.

Melon the Sensory Processing Disorder Opossum: Melon is a silly opossum who has bat wings! Melon’s wings will be attached via magnet, similar to Bug’s wings. Melon’s colors are inspired by the SPD pride flag created by Beyond MOGAI.

Jazz the Borderline Personality Disorder Kitty: Jazz is a tortoiseshell kitty that loves to read!! Jazz’s plush will come with a pvc charm of the hand of Eris symbol for you to put on xer collar if you choose! The colors are loosely based on the BPD flag created with community input by ptsdsafe on tumblr.

Kelly the Schizospec Axolotl: kelly is an axolotl who is studying chemistry and loves science! kelly’s design is inspired by the Schizospec flag, created with community input and organized by schizosupport on tumblr. They will have a collar tag once again made of PVC featuring the associated double sided arrow symbol.

Em the Bipolar Disorder Chimera: Em is a chimera kitty who has dragon wings and a snake tail! One side of the snake tail is smiling, the other frowning. This takes inspiration from the :): symbol often associated with Bipolar disorder.

Cy the Irritable Bowel Syndrome Otter: Cy is a happy little otter griffin! They love to sculpt and craft and sew! Cy’s color pallet is based on the assortment of medications I take for my own IBS symptoms.

Luca the Dyslexia Fox: Luca is a dancer and loves to perform! Their design and colors are loosely based on the infinity heart+ moon and star symbol that is often found on dyslexia flags. they will have L and R embroidered on their paws, which was a suggestion I was given.

kaveh seems to take words at face value...which explains why he is so easy so scam and why he would think alhaitham dislikes him (bc of how alhaitham teases him)

my evidence for this is: me too buddy

Something exhausting about neurotypicals is how they talk around a subject? Like you ask me what the timeline for some plan we have is as if you weren’t there with us for planning it but you ask me that, not because you don’t know but because you want to use that as an introduction to make changes so rather than just saying outright ‘hey I have this thing that I need to adjust the plans for’ you make me do the labor and like mental hoops to reexplain the plans and add in the ever apologetic slavering caveat of ‘if that still works for you’ then make some frankly incoherent explanation of some tiny change you need to make which is even more frustrating because it literally doesn’t matter but then when I express my annoyance with the way you go about communicating it I’m the one making things difficult and I have to do better at understanding where she’s coming from like no fuck that why don’t you actually say the thing you want to say instead of crafting this weird circular introduction before trying to slide your request in without notice, like your request was completely reasonable and ultimately has no impact on me and minimal on other people in this group chat why drag me into it when it doesn’t matter to me and also make it a nightmare conversation to navigate

My Autism:

My ADHD:

[wanderingmind867]

I've had like 9 posts today and yesterday, and they've all had to no notes. Mind you, most of them were just comic screenshot posts. And I still know that I shouldn't. I am well aware I don't have any good reason to care about my posts getting attention, but I can't help wanting them to get attention anyways. It's a real problem of mine, apparently. But in any case, i'm just gonna try to stop over Thinking it, so i can just ask the question i've asked every other time i do this: has anyone seen my posts? Logically, i know the answer is yes. But again: I can't seem to stop making these posts and asking for the validation. So i don't get it.

Do you ever have 20 Million thoughts at once? And your brain feels so crowded that you can't focus on any single one of them?

That's how I feel right now.

saw a tiktok of a guy saying as an autistic person all of his best friends and people he instantly clicked with have been people with adhd............all of my best friends have had adhd.......

[falldogbombsthemoon]

Nice I got my blood results today. I have iron deficiency and Hypothyroidism. Both make me fucking eepy. And I googled some symptoms for the second one;

rapid exhaustion, depressive mood, difficulty concentrating, lack of drive, general and sexual disinterest, sensitivity to cold

Why so personal

Insert true story that I find funny

Does anyone else of the neurodivergent/dopamine deficient persuasion go through these phases where you physically cannot cope with new media in any format, not new tv shows, not new episodes of a tv show you already love, not new music from your favourite artists, not new films, nothing? Like you physically can ONLY deal with songs/shows/films that you know all the words to and you've seen/heard approximately a billion times because any of your people doing anything different is too stressful to deal with and you need the stability of knowing they're constantly gonna do/say/sing the exact same things in the exact same way every time and they're never gonna stop being the perfect comfy level of dopamine that doesn't give you butterflies but it gives you cuddles?? Like you can fall asleep to it knowing that it's not going to change and it's gonna still be there for you exactly the same when you wake up??? Does that even make sense???

i would be unstoppable if my brain let me focus on one coherent thought

Chuckling to the audacity of my twenty-something self telling a professor/teacher-type who I worked for (I was a TA) that the strength of a teacher lies in the performance of their worst student.

Oh yeah, we didn’t like each other, and that relationship only got worse.

ew ugh I've gotten really vague instructions for something and now my brain feels like it just Will Nawt every time I try to think of what the hell I'm supposed to be doing,, withers away for the 3727293th time

[wanderingmind867]

I haven't even made that many posts today, but sometimes my brain loves to have the knee jerk reaction of worry that I don't get enough attention on my posts. And even if my posts get attention, my brain might still tell me I don't post enough. I don't know why i'm like this in regards to my online activity, but this is why i sometimes say i feel like being online isn't very good for me. I shouldn't have these paranoid impulses, but I do. And I wish I knew why. sigh...

does anyone else have a hard time coming out to their long time friends? like i had an easier time coming out to these two freshmen that my sister is friends with than i did with my actual friend group. and i cannot for the life of me tell if that’s rsd or me telling these queer kids i’m a safe person. bc like those kids are ab to hit high school since they’re incoming freshmen and there’s a lot of homophobes and transphobes where i go to school. but i legit had no anxiety or anything telling these 14 yr olds “i’m gender-fluid and bi, he/she/they/it” when they asked my pronouns after telling me theirs. i haven’t even come out fully to my best friend bc i get scared that she’ll try to invalidate me. my friend hasn’t even done that to anyone in front of me at least so idk why i’m scared.

btw it’s so cute to see queer kids unafraid to tell people who they are. like they just proudly told me and didn’t even look scared bc adults were around. i rlly love that they aren’t afraid to do that like i am. even though i’m barely three yrs older it’s amazing to see queer youth being proud no matter what. bc when i was just entering hs i was so afraid to say i was queer. these kids have been out and proud since they were 12-13. and they’re not afraid to admit labels change. like so many people my age are afraid to label themselves bc they think they’re stuck w it. it’s so shocking to me bc my friends aren’t older than these kids. but when these kids told me who they were so proud i just wanted to cry. bc they weren’t afraid. like my friends and i are hardly closeted when we’re not around our parents but like i don’t admit i’m queer until like months into forming a friendship. and it’s never been how it was with those freshmen. it’s always been a passing comment like in response to another passing comment like “imagine being pan and having no pull” and responding “ab as bad as a queer girl having no pull?” like i think the one time me addressing my sexuality has ever been the entire focus was when i first came out and that’s only bc it was a heat of the moment thing at a hoco dance. i’ve never introduced myself like “hi i’m noah, i’m gender-fluid and queer/bi/whatever, these are my pronouns” like those kids did and i want that! i want to be that proud, that unafraid of others opinions, that out and open ab myself and my identity.
