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

girls when their issues get dismissed as anxiety for the millionth time

#futaba sakura #persona 5 #p5r #p5 #fanart #futabadoodles #chat i am SO losing it #went to get diagnosed w adhd wasnt diagnosed because and i quote “it could be anxiety” omfg #neurotypical psychiatrists especially white ones die in a hole 🥰#also because i “wasnt struggling enough”#like hi so i have this thing called emotional intelligence a good support system and access to coping skills hope that helps!#god forbid a neurodivergent person has tools to manage their condition and isnt in hell everyday i guess!#hate her ass!!!!!!!#i wasnt looking to get diagnosed for medication or support bc i already use a lot of like adhd specific supports and shit #and w accommodations my anxiety diagnosis can cover what i need for the most part so it was rlly just a validation/confirmation thing #like idk yeah. i am managing. im not particularly struggling. because ive been selfdx for a while and have implemented changes in my life #and i happen to be in a very very good place rn and im very lucky. so like. ???#rlly felt like “you have all the symptoms but youre not struggling enough with anything to be able to diagnose ypu” ok thanks fuck you #cuz ppl w adhd can manage being unmedicated by choice i js wasnt officially diagnosed before i guess its deemed “okay” to not live in hell!#dunno im frustrated. i have difficulties but i manage them well and i am very lucky to live an easy life for now so like 😭??

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

Caregiving while neurodivergent?

I've been looking into support resources or any information I might be able to pass on to a caregiver loved one who themself is neurodiverse (ADHD, possibly AuDHD)

They're the sole caretaker of their elderly parents w/ intensive healthcare needs while also having been a single parent for 18+ years themself, and that's a lot to do without much support. Especially with a late diagnosis and either neurodivergent or firmly repressed family.

They don't let it show but I know my ADHD makes compassion fatigue hit way harder (plus typical ADHD burnout) so I can't imagine having to also be a full-time caregiver.

I'm rambling but basically I can't find shit online since popular society & healthcare professionals haven't truly accepted that neurodiverse adults with stereotypically "neurotypical" responsibilities exist. Or that neurodiverse adults even exist full stop.

So, this is a full plea asking if anyone has reliable information (websites, videos, podcasts); free/inexpensive resources; or their own tips, experiences, and advice!

ideas for helpful gifts & supplies are also welcome (tis the holiday season)

TL;DR I want to help a family caregiver who is neurodivergent, but I can't find any resources or info! Help???

(even if you don't have anything, reblogs are adored and appreciated and loved pls!!!)

(you're also welcome to bemoan this problem w me it's engagement & solidarity)

#neurodivergent #neurodiversity #adhd #actually adhd #audhd #autism #autistic adult #they're undiagnosed but suspect and anyways I think using this as a forum for all types of nd people would be nice #if more info helps theyre a woc whose family is liberal/left and accepts mental illness & neurodivergence is real #but in the “yes thats true but Not For Me!!!” way thats absolutely exhausting #mental health #mental health tips #caregiving #caregiver #hm i hope those arent mainly horknee tags on this site #also yes i checked reddit there is 1 thread from a while ago with no replies to that poor op aaaaaa #i am looking into both nd & caregiver support groups but. the intersection is important i think #need advice #will all this tagging help or hinder me? idk we'll see!#save #adulting #i know yall use that tag #they call me The Rambler cause I couldnt even be concise at gunpoint #edit: they are diagnosed adhd undiagnosed autism. thats what my earlier tag meant

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

adhd comix

#man i dont even have the energy to be mad. im just tired #like. dont u love it when your parents exhibit symptoms of ADHD and your sibling is diagnosed with a learning disability #and instead of thinking oh shit what if the other one has smth too. they subject you to The Horrors #i cant bring myself to hate my parents. but im tired of feeling obligated to defend them when the thing they think is working #isnt actually working and ive just found other ways to cope to avoid any sort of conflict. like lying and stealing. lol #if someone took me aside and said 'hey so your brain doesnt make as much dopamine as usual and its not a bad thing it just means you #need external stimulation and reward system to function and youre not actually secretly fucked up or lazy' as a kid #im pretty sure i wouldnt be here rn with half the problems i already have. unfortunately getting diagnosed late means u dont have a teacher #to back you up at a parent teacher conference that forces your parents to take this shit seriously instead of ignoring it hoping itll #go away on its own. but hey what do i know i have squirrel ipad baby disease. what do i know about my own symptoms #AND. AND i think im allowd to be mad bc ive been doing my own research on this for years before and after diagnosis #theyve been putting me thru the WORST parenting techniques on earth. which they could have corrected at anytime but they were #comfortable thinking they were doing it right and didnt bother to check if they were or werent fucking up their kid in the long run #and refusing to acknowledge it. i just!! they just decided one day hey lets make babies!! and just looked at books on how to make #a human being survive as long as possible!!! what the fuck!!!!#im sorry for putting this on ppls dashes but i am. so tired. of bottling this up. and im not looking for sympathy or anything i just need #to scream and clench my fists to SOMEONE about it because theyre not gonna take this well up the ass. sigh #yapping #vent

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
