Adhd anon back Tumblr mobile keeps giving me slot machine adds but only when your page is pulled up what does this mean? Has the algorithm figured something out? Do you endorse gambling, Quinn? Your blog is online rain dinners. It's an erotic bookstore with an e-casino partnership somehow. I'm going fuckinf bankrupt

XD I’m actually not much of a gambler myself. I love casinos in a fascination sort of way, but I’ve only set foot inside two.

I’m okay being associated with Rain Diners though. 🐊

Idk maybe the site’s saying I’m a good way to get lucky 🍀 😇🥰

Same Anon from before with the INSP, and if it's alright, can I be called ADHD Anon? If not then it K! But I just had a Cyno brainrot for the Mafia!AU, Cyno in the Mafia with a S/O who works for the Military or something? Or maybe S/O in the Mafia too? Imagine that? And he trynna make sure that his Darlings (Not the Yandere way? I just think that a nickname he gives us!) @$$ (Censorced for the minors if there is any here) isn't dead and teaches them stuff that he knows I just think that cute :D

Sadly my blog is for pure yandere!fics but this sounds really cute (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)!!! Based on what I've heard about the Italian-Mafia, you can't be recruited if someone from your family is a member of the police so this would provide more tension between mafia!cyno and a military!reader if that's what you're into!

Mafioso!Cyno likely carries quite a heavy toll on his conscience. He always believed that his lack of moral compass should be held accountable whenever he kills another person. Having a mafia!darling would probably make him feel like he should also "save" them from the fate of having their hands overflowing with blood. Cyno would teach them how to survive but most of all he teaches them how and when to spare an enemy. If there's one thing Cyno trusts the most about himself, it's his judgement.

"O Capo! My Capo!"'s Cyno isn't technically part of the mafia but he's too important for the syndicates not to acknowledge. He's the church's beloved assassin Inquisitor so they walk eggshells around him. If the church branded them as "filthy heretics" then they're gone. Cyno mostly acts as a mediator between the three manor syndicates, but of course he secretly favors the Innamorati Familia. Either way, whether or not Cyno is in the mafia or the church, he's still a pretty tough opponent. Especially since he's so convinced that the church is always in the side of justice.

Like, I did make some mistakes today (we went out) but I felt so comfortable and cared for and yeah.

We even Saw my ab*sive ex on the street (he crossed the street once he saw me) and even though I did freak out a little, she didn't pressure me into telling her anything. I asked her out for something similar to ice cream (it's called chicha)

and she said ohh is it and I internally omg YES PLEASE. but I got nervous and said something like "well, if you want it to be" and yeah we are going out (hopefully) soon again!

I still am not so touchy in public bc I'm afraid of being out and stuff (my country doesn't handle us queers very well 😅) and she's a very masc presenting, super butch lesbian, so we have to be careful, but everything went really well and I'm glad it has ❤️

im so glad to hear you are making progress ❤️ as usual, be safe - you shouldn't have to care what others think but you never wanna put yourselves in danger. still, im vv glad to hear you are taking those steps and learning to trust and be happy! proud of you x

Guys. Can we talk about how Charlie does the DEBBIE RYAN when she first sees Vaggie.

GIRLY LIKED HER FROM THE START.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-

Many one piss drawings.

Not all of these are finished but they’re good enough to post.

Also to be clear,I don’t actually know how true Robin’s trivia is, i just took it from a “Fun facts about the human body” list. (But also i couldn't find anything that disputed this? Ah! So it's a mystery fact!)

Luffy and Robin 🤝 Being neurodivergent about silly things.

It's true!! @merlions

Taking the current topic as an excuse to ask you to tell me all the reasons you love Rarijack. Your art for the ship is so sweet and intimate I'd love to hear any in depth thoughts you have.

Breathes in.

I think what makes their dynamic really strong is that they have opposing personalities but aligned values. It's deeper than just "opposites attract." Rarity's fancy, prissy, and femme while Applejack's modest, rough, and "masculine." But both value hard work (to the point of being workaholics), their families (both have guardianship over their little sisters), running successful businesses, and eventually each other. Their relationship can be boiled down to, "Despite our differences/disagreements, I still like you because we value the same things."

We see their relationship develop so much. In the first season, they can't stop bickering about surface-level differences. By season four, they still bicker, but will mend their relationship because they can't help but do nice things for each other. In Trade Ya, they start off arguing over personality differences (Applejack likes old junk and Rarity likes useless crap). Then they pivot and start arguing that they value their relationship more than the other. In the end, they mend things by sacrificing their needs and buying each other a gift. Even if they don't understand it, they know it'd make the other happy. And that's all that really matters. It's a genuinely sweet moment that shows how arguing can be healthy and necessary for relationships to strengthen.

We even see them dropping their hang-ups about each others' personalities. In Made in Manehattan, when Rarity runs off in dramatics about someone's fashion, AJ doesn't roll her eyes or scoff, she smiles. Oftentimes, their conflicts are very common domestic conflicts romantic couples face. Applejack's Day Off is about a woman's inability to balance work and life and find time to properly spend with her partner, causing her partner to feel neglected.

By season seven, they're actively participating in each others' interests. Any problems or conflicts that arise are dealt with, and they come out the other end stronger and closer. In Honest Apple, AJ pretty much spells out why their relationship works so well: even though she doesn't understand fashion, she can recognize and appreciate how much work it takes and wants to respect that. When she realizes her mistake in the episode, AJ goes above and beyond to fix things and apologize to Rarity. They care about each other so much.

The two go out of their way, sacrificing their personal desires and beliefs and doing things they normally wouldn't, to make the other happy. That's just love.

There's Simple Ways, where AJ gets stuck in an unwanted love triangle between Rarity and her hipster crush. And her frustration and anger can be so easily interpreted as AJ finding herself in a terrible position; the girl she loves wants another man, and that man wants her.

I dunno. I've always had a preference for opposites attract ships, but Rarijack's stuck with me like a brain worm because they have the perfect chemistry. The way they show they care, or do things for each other, I've always read it as the truest representation of romance in the show.

Good job getting ADHD medication! I’m so proud of you :D

thanks so so much im very happy and so hopeful for the first time maybe ever but also it TOOK ME LIKE. A YEAR. A YEAR.

like yall for real?? for real. for real i have been diagnosed since i was like six. (funny story my teacher thought i was on the spectrum so my parents get me tested with the nodes and shit and according to mom, who loves this story, my neurologist did all that and talked to me and then just turned to my mom and went "she's not autistic. she just hates the other kids" but they DID find an adhd diagnosis in there so net win for all of us)

diagnosed since i was SIX. on stimulants until i turned 8, and you know why i got off em? my pediatrician retired. we could not find another who would take our low-income insurance. so i just had to rawdog The Rest Of My Fucking Life. diagnosed when i was six. legally neurodivergent for 20 slutty slutty angry years.

and it still took me like. a few months to get a psych appointment. a few weeks to reaffirm my diagnosis as an adult. a few more weeks for another appointment for meds. he doesnt Want to do meds first, because i must have been doing fine without them if its been two decades, right? i got a job and a car and everything. well gee fuckin shittickers Dr. Brain Guy, just WHAT was my alternative? would you prefer i be maladapted to the point of incapacitation; is that what it takes for someone to be considered? i cheated my way through school. every day after work i sit for an hour in my car because i dont have the executive function to stand up and walk the ten steps to my house. garbage just appears around me. i have three empty bags of hot chip and two cans of sprite on my desk as we speak, neither from today. at that point i hadnt had a debit card for six months because that would have required me to Drive To The Bank, a location that was new to me in this area, so i just did everything on credit. is this all normal? is this fine? am i GOOD, actually, Dr. WeirdBrain?

so we cordially agree that yes i should probably be medicated. i want to do a stimulant. he does not want to put me on a stimulant. "stimulants can mess with your heart," he says, "and you're young, you don't want heart problems." i say ok because i dont want to make him think im just looking for narcotics. even though i am. because they WORK. i agree to try some kind of antidepressant.

the antidepressant gives me tachycardia. i go to the emergency room after reading a heartbeat of, oh, 140 bpm, which is about like double what it normally is and juuuust below the You Are Having A Heart Attack threshold. i get to the ER and the doctor there is very obviously convinced i'm a local addict having some sort of episode. it is the most ironic experience i've had all year and i feel an abrupt and all consuming kinship with those birds in australia that will swoop you and peck at your face for seemingly no good reason.

so yeah, we narrow it down to the antidepressant. as it turns out, these particular meds are known to, semi-commonly, Mess With Your Heart. i have my next appointment with my psych and somehow refrain from pecking his eyes out. he puts me on a noreprinephrine inhibitor(iirc) that isnt actually FDA approved to treat ADHD specifically(i DEFINITELY rc) but it IS given to smokers to help them quit. i dont smoke. i may very well fucking start before this whole ordeal is at the point where someone listens to me

it obviously does a combined total of jack and shit, and the man waffles with this one because he has "had success" using it as treatment for other ADHD patients. he ups the dose. twice. three months on the smoker meds, which are also apparently notorious for destroying your appetite, but they didnt even do THAT. no change to the average amount of hot chip on my desk.

he wants to try quelbree after that. i finally tell him i'm tired of this shit and would like to have more than two hours of usable daylight to function before it all falls to uncontrollable youtube shorts binges and a daily experience i like to call The Weighted Nothings and i would very much like to PLEASE. TRY A STIMULANT.

he's been friendly enough with me over these past four or five or whatever months but at this he gets suddenly very very business-baseline. gives me the whole spiel about the north american shortage. gives me a spiel about how i absolutely cannot, under any circumstances, lose or sell this medication, because they will not refill it if i do. i am sitting here wondering if he he's telling the truth about having other ADHD patients at all like ever in his career, and also, am i nuts or should the "don't sell your prescription drugs" bit apply to EVERYTHING? i dont fuckin know man i just live here

he says he wants a urine test first. its scheduled for two weeks out. i take it.

"hey uh, your piss came back with cannabis in it" "well it'd be weirder if it didn't, we are in california and i am a kitchen manager" "you can't have weed if you want adderall" "fine i'll stop" "we'll schedule you another test in a month" "aight bet" it didnt go exactly like that but this is kind of what the vibe between us has devolved into by this point.

anyway i wait a month and get a good grade in piss. i get the meds prescribed. i go to fill out the prescription

all i really need to say to you are the words "prior authorization error" for most of you to get what happened next.

the psych isnt even aware. i wait another month for our next meeting, which was yesterday. i do not yell at him. he tells me to take it up with the pharmacy, and yell at them. i am going to yell at them.

so i go, and guess what, it actually went through a while ago! NO ONE TOLD ME OR DR. FEEL-BAD OVER HERE. but we can't fill it right now because its a controlled substance so come back in a few hours. hey it's ready where the hell are you? TAKE YOUR METH AND GET OUT

anyway i started it today, reorganized my pantry, and fixed the fire alarm in my hallway that's been chirping at me for a week. i no longer have to wear earplugs to bed.

and with my newfound executive function superpowers, i will be spraying my weed-free piss all over Reagan's grave.

[sandflakedraws]

Hi! I have been a huge fan of your art for a long while now; I hope this isn't terribly, horribly rude but do you know when/if commissions will be open again?

It's totally fine if the answer is "not for a long time/ever", I'm just curious because I would love to commission you one day.

Have a lovely day or night, whichever! I will continue to enjoy your art like a delicious soup :)

Don't worry, I don't think this is a rude question! Hopefully the response isn't more than u bargained for.

Alas though, the truest answer is also the vaguest: I'm not??? Sure??

Rather, I'd like to open them again, but I need to be thoughtful about how and when I do it.

recently, the internet landscape has helped shed some light on the subject of ADHD, how it affects people, what forms it can take, and i have had some revelations regarding my relationship to it.

namely that i very . very likely,,, have it.

not sure why it never occurred to me despite having siblings and cousins with it, but either way.

What matters here is that sometimes, my brain constructs a wall of agony around doing a commission. Seemingly at random, it'll hit me with a constant button press of "not gonna! wrong! stop!" I never understood why. I had previously thought that I'd just been having some sort of temporary funk, and that one day I'd wake up and it would just. not be there. Y'know, like my executives would function.

So... it has been common for some very patient, sweet, compassionate commissioners to have waited months, even years before they received what they'd rightfully paid for.

... I hate that I'm capable of that. I don't want to be That Guy.

After having recontextualized the problem from 'temporary haze' to 'state of being' it's been easier to recognize what I need to do.

If I open commissions again, I need to figure out a way to keep ADHD brain from forming walls around the task. One thing I've decided for certain is that I've gotta switch to a multi-payment method. Ergo, the commissioner would pay a little up front, and the rest when I finish. Other than that though, I've been drawing a blank.

Until I get that settled, my commission status will remain in limbo.

[empyreanwritings]

Heeeey, so, I’m back once again!!

Life’s been good, the semester is going to start soon, I had a nice summer (for once, without internalized homophobia kicking my ass) and I got a girlfriend!! Sooo here’s the thing, it’s so… hard or difficult I guess to be in a relationship after TW being in an abus*ve one, like, she’s honestly amazing and very healthy, I’m just sad that I got all this trauma that I don’t know if it’ll ever leave me, she knows about my past and I sometimes tell her about my flashbacks or bad mental health days, especially after I see my ex or some of his family around the neighborhood or around town, but yeah, idk if I’m expressing myself well, I’m starting therapy again soon, so yeah, it’s gonna be better but I’m just having a lot of emotions at the moment and I’m sorry I’m pushing them all into you, I wanted to update you after a while so yeah, sorry again.

Hoping to see you doing well, you’re a bright star, always remember that!

-ADHD anon

i'm glad to hear you are doing somewhat better bby! but as for the trauma part - i understand. i was in an abusive relationship not too long ago, and it's hard to get back into a relationship after that - i have been reluctant to get into one and ones i have tried, or thought there was potential, i never made official bc of how nervous i was and now i'm not even friends with those people anymore. trauma can ruin a lot, but YOU have to put in the work to make sure it doesn't cause anymore damage. therapy is vv important and i'm glad that you are going, but make sure you're really being honest when you speak with them and find healthy ways to get through it.

if she really cares for you, she'll help you through it but it's important to know that you have to do the brunt of the work. it's hard and it's exhausting and some days you'll want to give up, but you push through it if you really care for her too.

i'm doing okay on my end! i was just recently promoted at the new job i got last nov, so i've been excited about that. school's a bit rough but that's mostly bc my classes require so much reading and i have no time 😭

ily so much bby, please dont ever hesitate to reach out when you need to 💞

[oifaaa]

Oifaaa, your friends have to tell you to stop shouting even tho you're just talking normally from your pov too???

Yeah especially when I get really into a conversation my friends will tell me I need to mind my voice its actually a symptom of adhd

[itsaspectrumcomic]

I've thought a little bit about if I may have autism, but I've also heard that autism shares a lot of things with ADHD, which I have gotten diagnosed with.. so I'm kinda struggling with whether it's just one or both. Any advice?

There is definitely an overlap of traits, such as problems with executive functioning and sensory issues, and it's possible to be misdiagnosed with one or the other (or diagnosed with one while the other is missed entirely).

Some differences are:

an autistic person might have a few very specialised interests, while someone with ADHD might cycle through a variety of hyperfixations

an autistic person might be strongly focused on routine while someone with ADHD might be more spontaneous or have trouble sticking to routines

an autistic person might struggle with communication due to missing or not understanding social cues while someone with ADHD might have trouble focussing on the conversation

If you have both you might:

have special interests that last a long time while also picking up and dropping multiple hobbies

want a routine but struggle to follow it

miss social cues because you didn't understand them AND because you lost focus

(btw this list is not exhaustive and won't necessarily apply to every ADHD/autistic person.)

If you're looking for a diagnosis, I would recommend looking for someone with knowledge of both. You might still have to have separate assessments though.
