Kind of hard to ask as anon

Need to vent?

Hi very kind and thoughtful of you to ask, i am doing mmmmm suboptimal but i do not need to vent to a person per se, so much as i need to say absolutely insane shit in my tags and have everyone pretend not to see <3

Little AuDHD complaint under the readmore (skip over if you can't be bothered with the negativity because even I can't be bothered with my own feelings right now)

I've been struggling a bit this week - likely PMS which has now become a late period - but my friend is coming down this weekend. Originally we had plans for her to come down Friday but that moved to Saturday for reasons beyond her control. I've been thinking about it all week and trying my best to get the house organised and all that but it's been hard to even look after myself. Like I can't concentrate at all either so I'm just having a hard time being a functioning human. I've failed to get half as many things done as I planned but I really tried.

I was supposed to pick her up at like 11am at the train station but now she's said that another friend will be around at that time so she'll just meet me at 1pm at the location we planned to meet up with our mutual friend. And I know to most people this is totally reasonable, like why wouldn't you try and see as many friends as possible when you're not often in the area?

But it always just makes me feel like I'm just an option when this kind of thing happens? Like I'm an interchangeable friend or a box to be ticked rather than THE reason she's coming to visit. I matter so little that a last-minute spontaneous meeting with someone else takes priority.

It also messed with my plans and one thing I really struggle with is spontaneous changes in plans. I can't force people to comply with this because I'd just feel selfish but it completely throws me off, especially when I'm in this state where everything is so hard for me to keep together.

Idk man it's probably worsened by rejection sensitivity dysphoria - scratch that, it's TOTALLY worsened by that. I'm incredibly sensitive and I have to keep it in check constantly.

Even if I rationalise the situation and know there was no intent to hurt me and ofc my friend cares for me, it doesn't change the initial 'oh...' feeling of my heart sinking a little bit. Which makes me feel pathetic which makes me feel insane which makes me feel even worse about myself even though I shouldn't beat myself up over my neurological disabilities.

Just another joyful day of feeling shame when people hurt me because the hurt I feel is unintentional on their part and people don't think the way I do. Rationality only goes so far. I still feel like a very sad individual right now.

can someone tell costmom that personality disorders are real and that neurodivergence is not just autism and adhd?

[skull-ishcloud]

I find it just hilarious how my mother will go all like "how can parents of disabled people not care to understand other disabled people". While she has a child with ADHD who she payed to get formally diagnosed (by that I mean she knows), and never ever bothered to search the symptoms.

[roundaboutnow]

OCD folks, what is your advice for people who are probably undiagnosed? how do you take care of yourselves and combat the thoughts/impulses?

im pretty sure and im pretty sure my therapist knows it too, but im not ready to admit it bc i know theyre going to agree and im not sure im ready for it to be real

[m-for-now]

When you start to think about getting tested for adhd and autism and go "huh... I should do my own research first, lemme make a list of everything" and then do months of research and end up seeing that in your kindergarden observation notes you can literally see when you started masking, and that They Have A Picture Of You Having A Meltdown and saying that you're "stoic" and "angry" in some moments, while being a calm-ish kid otherwise.... you start to realize that maybe Not everyone had the same experience and maybe you are Not normal and just being difficult....

Every time one of y’all say Phil is Autistic, I lose another five years of my life.

[callixton]

took 10 mg of my ex's ritalin in the hopes it would balance out my adhd and i'm having like. a real weird reaction to it. it is making me paranoid i don't have adhd but i think it is much more likely that my body just isn't sure how to deal with having a stimulant in it for the first time. i'm also not like. high in any way. i'm just sort of jittery and physically unable to settle. and i'm still having trouble focusing but not the way i usually do which i suspect might also be bc this isn't overriding how tired i am. i also can't stop talking when in a conversation

Could Symptoms Syndrome maybe chill the f out for a few days?

So ever since one of the instructors at the gym where I take aerial acrobatics classes clued me in to the fact that I'm probably hypermobile, I've been on yet another wild domino-effect ride that I like to call "What do you MEAN that's another symptom of hypermobility?!"

That hurty thing my fingers keep doing is probably subluxation and I might need to get joint braces

Opioids not working on me is part of it

The IBS is part of it

Poor proprioception/being clumsy is part of it

My shoulder is Not Supposed To Be Doing That

Me sometimes needing to punch doors open (because opening them the regular way hurts my wrist) is part of it

My fingertips pointing upwards when I extend my fingers isn't normal and it's called the Flying Bird Sign

The migraines are part of it

The random bouts of dizziness and sometimes blacking out when I stand up is part of it

Bruising all the damn time literally everywhere is part of it

The super heavy giant periods I used to get were part of it

It's comorbid with autism, auditory processing disorders, sensory processing disorders, apraxia, mood disorders including anxiety and depression, asthma, tinnitus, hair loss in all genders, chronically low vitamin D, teeth crowding, bruxism, fucking uticaria, chronic fatigue, and ADHD, aka every single medical problem I have ever had in my entire life except for maybe seasonal allergies.

Oh, and I probably have hEDS, too.

who up seeing their disorder in a fictional character but feel like its not their place to put a name on it

[abstractlesbian]

Find someone slightly annoying but in really small harmless ways so I decide none of the behaviours are worth bringing up with them → realizing: hey, Im also annoying! solidarity! → realizing we have a lot in common and starting to bond → finding out other people find this person annoying and are vocal about it behind their back → finding out this person has ADHD like me that's (at least one reason) why we have all these traits in common → fear.
