Vent post

I need to see a doctor quite badly. But I'm nervous because last time I went to a doctor for my shots for school and about some strange weight gain (2013) my female doctor told me "just stop drinking soda" and wouldn't listen to me when I told her I didn't drink soda. Idk if I have the sanity or energy to go through it again, but I hate being overweight.

I just want to stop thinking.

#venting #dwbi #one of those nights #feeling hopeless and depressed #think i need to see a therapist but idk if i can open up to one #need my adhd diagnosed #but that it would do anything but validate me #need a haircut that i like #need to lose weight #i hate myself #need to dye my hair #no motivation #need to see a doctor #they're just going to tell me to lose weight instead of listening to me seriously #that's what happened last time #even when i was going for unnecessary weight gain #they told me “stop drinking soda”#I've only gained weight #i just want a different life #my savings has gone back to 300 dollars from 3000 dollars #i want to call out of work but i need money #but i feel like I'm going to burst into tears at any moment #everyone gets worried and it's a mess #i don't want to die #but i do wish i was never born #i wish i didn't have depression #thought about suicide today #thought about the consequences as well #i need to make a separate blog for this so no one sees these posts #is it better or worse for people to not see them

me: finally accepting theres a good chance im autistic and starting to work up the courage to ask my parents to see if i could get a diagnoses but being scared to

my mom: do you ever think you have adhd? if you want to do a screening for add next time your at the doctors you can

me:

#for context im terrified of being the person who sees stuff online and diagnosis themselves and then is wrong #which is why it took me so long to accept im —probably— autistic (bc now i have done research and stuff for it)#and id see adhd things that were relatable but i felt i related more to the autism + self diagnosing both felt weird (for me not in general #but now like. my mom is willing to accept i might have add??#(there was a long talk in between her asking if i ever thought i had it and her saying i could get a screening where we both agreed that #—if i did have it— i didnt have the hyperactive part. hence the add vs adhd thing)#and now that kinda through off my plans because like. what if i do also had adhd. or something #so yeah small crisis woo #i need to actually look i to symptoms and stuff for adhd though #because im not saying anything til i know more about it and if i actually do have a lot of the things #but this also gives me a chance go write about the autism things as well bc i told my mom i would look into the adhd #so now i can hopefully find a way to bring that up #ive mentioned that autism is a spectrum recently which i didnt think she knew before #so progress i guess #wow long rant in the tags whoops #jasper’s posts #moots have some jaz lore i guess

I am beginning to suspect that my success in communicating with the socially awkward, highly skilled, specialist technology team members is not just down to "having lots of experience talking to my dad"

#You need something from a guy #And the team go #“ah Colin can be a bit tricky sometimes”#And then I go and have a simple and straightforward conversation with Colin #!?!#And I go #It was exactly like asking my dad for help!#Which I have YEARS of experience in #Why is my dad socially awkward?#Why are details about this One Thing a basis of communication?#Why do I get good results with people 'like my dad' where others struggle?#Hmmmm #anyhooo #The most normal of the siblings just got diagnosed #With the adhd and the autism #And I look at her and go #Gurl YOU are the normal one #... My suspicion grows

"just be yourself" has always been one of my most hated things to hear from someone. it may sound simple and easy to you, but when you grew up never able formed a single solid personality (because you grew up autistic or for some other reason) and/or have always felt more like 20 different personalities in a trench coat who fight over who is supposed to be in charge, that "simple" advice is so much less simple.....it can even seem impossible.

#autistic #autism things #autism #actually autistic #neurodivergent #adhd #audhd #dissociative disorder #dissociative identity disorder #did #osdd #not sure what all to tag #disclaimer. not formally diagnosed with did/osdd but currently being evaluated for it because therapist says #i have “concerning levels of dissociation” and feels its negatively impacting my life and these little freaks in my head need controlled #well she didnt say that last part but there needs to be some order in here #anyway. WHO AM I. WHO IS LEE. IS LEE A REAL PERSON. WHO IS THIS SELF YOU SPEAK OF AND HOW DO I BE THAT. IDK.#lee rambles #big imposter syndrome when considering a dissociative brain thing. been super exhausting working on it with therapist. is that normal?

Kind reminder

It's not your job to tell people how to identify.

Many, many mental health disorders are lifelong, they never go away, but symptom management is possible!

If someone reaches a point that they are choosing to no longer identify with their disorder, or feel that it no longer fits them, or simply choose not to transfer their medical records to a new doctor (hi) because they feel they no longer need access to resources at that time, or if they never had a diagnosis to begin with...

That's none of your business.

You can't force the label on them, or force them to keep it. Yelling about how they still have a disorder isn't helping anyone-- not yourself, not them, not the people still working on themselves watching this happen.

You can't force diagnosis, treatment, or ideals on people. There are many reasons that someone might choose to drop a label or diagnosis, and it's none of your business why or how.

Learn to respect personal autonomy and self-determination in mental health care.

You're not just telling them they have a disorder, you're also telling them that they're struggling, even if they're not.

And that's just not for you to decide.

#i haven't used my adhd or tourettes diagnosis since i was 8 #i have them but i wouldn't say I'm struggling #i can choose to say that i am no longer in need of those and that i probably wouldn't be re-diagnosed #adhd is also lifelong #you can't force me to say i have it though or force me to keep the diagnosis #it's just not an issue for me and people are allowed to say that about any disorder #cdd system #did #osdd #osddid #plural #plurality #system safe #anti endo #pro endo #mental health

what is it with doctors/psychologists and being like yeah you have this thing but it’s not harming you so i won’t diagnose you?? 😭 literally what my doctor said to me about autism like cool it didn’t effect me when i was 16 but it sure as hell does now in 26 ???

it's literally so stupid lmao like they're so afraid of setting a wrong diagnosis they just won't diagnose people at all unless they deem it absolutely debilitating

i've had the same thing happen with autism several times but i'm not too fussed about that one cause like whatever who cares i can't do much about that anyway, whereas with adhd i need a diagnosis if i want to try any meds. i did the raads-r again recently and my psych was like yeah you're probably autistic but lets ignore that and focus on the adhd because i don't think they're gonna let you get diagnosed with both lol

#she's an adhd specialist so she can set the adhd diagnosis on her own #but generally they need a consensus among everyone which is so.... like i get it sort of but also oh my fucking god why are u voting .#why can people object my diagnoses this is stupid 😭#answered

i think this was funnier in my head.

#puppy draws #yo-kai watch #katie forester #jibanyan #whisper #whisper ykw #usapyon #hailey anne thomas #as a diagnosed autistic person i can confirm that the autism evaluation results #just being a picture of the autism creature with text saying you have the tism is accurate #i don't even remember how this idea came to me i think i was just overly tired this morning and then this happened #also ignore the fact that i refuse to accept nate as being canon protagonist katie is like way better sorry besties <3 #that's like 80% a joke. every main yo-kai watch character is my blorbo and nate is included in that #i just also prefer katie. playing 3 and rewatching the anime + reading the manga did endear me to nate more though #i like how he's average but also totally bisexual. no i will not elaborate #why do my tags always get so derailed. uhhhh back to autism. hailey is so fucking autistic ngl #there's like at least five different instances in 3 of her just completely failing to read the room #she's totally hyperfixated on sailor cuties and next harmeowny #she has adhd vibes too i think but. the tism is very strong #i can't decide my favorite part of this between the “yippee!! you have the tism” image and jibanyan asking what autism is #he doesn't know because he has autism by default through being a cat he didn't need a diagnosis #i feel like all of them are autistic tbh but that's probably just me projecting. i totally gave katie autism in the rewrite though #i wasn't even trying to i just don't know what neurotypicals are like because i got that autistic rizz. and adhd rizz. mostly the adhd #i am definitely also autistic but i think my adhd effects me a lot more in day-to-day life #since i usually just interact with my moms who know i'm autistic and are also both neurodivergent #and people online. most of who are autistic because it's mostly on tumblr and this is the autism website #yo-kai watch more like yo-gay watchtism amirite-#oh also very amused by hailey just poofing into existence in the second picture. as you do

me as a kid: i have all these problems

every adult around me: you're not old enough to know what's wrong with you, you're fine

me as an adult: i still have all these problems

my doctors after i finally got the opportunity to choose them myself: oh my fucking god why have you never gotten help for all these problems. you should have seen me 10 years ago

#problems i have finally gotten help for that i was told i was not old enough to know about:#AMPS (was told it was anxiety and then when i kept coming back they said it was fibro Quite Literally just to get me to shut up)#(like the doc i just saw literally said 'they diagnose fibromyalgia here when they dont know what the problem is but dont feel like testing)#multiple food allergies (was also told the stomach pain and vomiting was anxiety)#seborrheic dermatitis (i was told 'youre just stressed thats why you have a rash')#(which- if im so stressed my skin is literally dying MAYBE I STILL NEED HELP?????????)#autism and adhd (my father knew! but refused to get me assessed bc if i dont have a diagnosis theres no problem right :)#anxiety disorder (oh so when I'm in pain i DO have anxiety but when i say i have anxiety I'm overreacting okay)#dyscalculia and possibly dyslexia ('you just need to try harder' I've asked for a tutor five times)#some of my doctors don't actually believe me about some of these problems BECAUSE i have no records from when i was a kid #they're like 'it just popped up at 18? seems suspicious......' like I WASN'T ALLOWED TO GO TO THE DOCTOR'S UNTIL THEN #there's definitely more but I'm still mad abt it #i might not be in a wheelchair Almost All The Time if i had gotten help BEFORE i lost half the feeling in my legs #i KNEW the fibro was a BS diagnosis #i tried to get assessed for autism at 16 and was told i have schizotypal personality disorder instead with literally zero testing #like my psych just refused to allow me to get tested for autism she was like 'no you have spd i Just Know'#same psych that said there was zero way i had anything like DID because my symptoms didn't present Exactly like the Only other #patient at the clinic with DID. i want to note that that was a 14 year old boy still being actively abused #and i was a 20 year old who was in a safe environment and had distanced myself from my abusers and stressors

there are some days when i'm like "hey be nicer to the kids they're just being kids" and some days when i'm like "okay yeah you know what the kids are fucking dumb about this get their asses" and then there are some days like today where i'm just FUCK THEM KIDS and have a visceral need to punt a teenager across the room.

but i don't. but boy do i fucking want to

#moki talks #my teenage employee is driving me fucking BONKERS today #boy needs to go work a fucking mcdonalds for a few weeks and humble his damn self like the rest of us did #arrogant little prick #but also he's so incredibly talented and craaaaazy smart #but also #needs to go get his adhd diagnosed and take some fucking adderall lord have mercy #mad respect to every teacher out there who handles teenagers i'd have already strangled a few i think #little kids are fine its the teens that get under my skin #like. FUCK. i was a shitty teen sometimes but at least at my job i knew when to shut the fuck up #anyway. deeeeep breaths #woooosah

took 10mg of methylphenidate today for the first time (as my psychiatrist recommended) and immediately:

-went to the shop and got everything I needed without forgetting anything or getting derailed

-watched half hour of a video essay without playing a game in the background

-read a chapter and a half of a book

-wrote 1k words on my WIP

All of this while still being in burnout, mind you. You're telling me it could have been like this all this time?! What the actual fuck-

#personal #ADHD #I'm also astonished methylphenidate actually works on me #cause it doesnt work for almost anyone i know with adhd #or like it makes them calmer and that's it #but i can actually focus now? like what the fuck...#still havent managed to hyper focus though #but maybe i need proper conditions in addition to meds #anyway i am so angry i only got diagnosed now and not years ago #how could every fucking psychiatrist before my current one not notice this
