My therapist agrees that I most likely have ADHD

So I'm the agender, asexual, asthmatic, ADHD'er who is probably also autistic.

Damn, now I really wish I was aromantic, too

#gotta collect them all #adhd #we already discussed meds #but she can't prescribe #good thing i have a psychiatrist in the same location who can

Living with Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors

Me: *Is super stressed over life.*

Trichotillomania: Time to pull some hair! C'mon. You won't even notice you're doing it. It'll make you feel better.

Me: NO. *Spends 4 days putting hair in a mini twist protective style* There.

Dermatillomania: Hey. Your hands are free. And restless. And dry... Pick your skin. Bleed. Bleed.

Me: Stop! *Starts up a new crochet project to keep hands busy.* Ok cool.

Onychophagia: Hi hi. Your nails are.... perfect biting length... you should do that.

Me: Noooooooooooo *Paints nails.*

Dermatillomania: Oh look, you got some nail polish on your skin. Pick it off... now pick some more...

Me: SDJAKFDSJFKLDKAFDJKLAFJDKSAKLFDASL

#is this tmi? oh well. this is the tmi website #trichotillomania #dermatillomania #onychophagia #bfrb #body focused repetitive behavior #ocd #guys guess what? my therapist all but prescribed that i get a manicure to prevent picking at my skin #apparently after a year with this therapist i never mentioned my finger picking until this week #and she was like 'ok since you find it tough to paint them yourself get a manicure. self care and preventative'#because my cuticles are horrific due to me constantly picking at them and the sides of my fingers #so i've always been too embarrassed to go to a nail salon and my therapist was like 'exposure therapy!'#currently my nails are sloppily painted because i can't hold a brush still and they're already chipping after like 5 days #actually they probably started chipping on the second day honestly.#i need to redo my twists a bit which actually satisfies the trich urges since i'll be running my fingers through my hair to do it #but i won't actually be pulling. but also. i will be getting the shed hairs out. so. kind of fulfills that.#but right now my nails are long enough for me to feel them sometimes hit my keyboard. which. isn't normal for me.#and despite the nail polish i feel the urge to bite them shorter ahhhhh #anyway if you're Black with natural hair and have trich i HIGHLY suggest mini twists since it helps deter me from pulling #sure i have to redo it every few weeks but seriously. game changer. harder to find individual hairs to pull.

i'm always so afraid to ask my psychiatrist about increasing my dose of adhd meds bc i'm afraid she'll be like "ok addict no more meds for you at ALL" like she won't just refuse the increase but also stop prescribing the meds entirely despite her NEVER displaying that mentality before AND THAT'S WHAT STIGMA DOES TO A BITCH (i'm the bitch)

#my current shrink is great i love her #i've just had bad experiences w other doctors #i thought i was addicted to my adhd meds at one point but it turned out i was just undermedicated lmao #now i sometimes take slightly more than prescribed and i feel so much better but i can't keep doing that on my current dose bc i'll run out #idk though if i ask her what if she says no you're on too much already!#THEN what do i do

Why didn't you just go on T for fat redistribution?

fair question! a few reasons, among them that I know fat distribution is both one of the slowest changes to happen on T and one of the fastest to reverse itself if you ever stop, whereas getting fat cells sucked out of you with a straw is fast and fairly fucking permanent. and with my (former) waist-to-hip ratio I was doubtful anything short of a miracle would do much tbh. so given how impatient I was to tackle my biggest source of body dysphoria and how unlikely it seemed gradual measures would help I was super down to nuke that shit from orbit

#also I have actually been taking low dose T for a bit but it hasn't done much for me yet because my prescribing doctor is a moron lol #she didn't know drospirenone is an anti-androgen so I was taking that AND finasteride for a full year until my OBGYN figured it out.#on top of which I found out she lost her medical license in CA (not malpractice tbf she just failed to disclose her rap sheet)#(unrelated to medicine. I think it was like trespassing and disorderly conduct and something else.)#but other than planned parenthood I can't find anyone else in vegas who prescribes HRT so I'm stuck with her!!!

okay, while annoying, I have to admit that having zydrate anatomy stuck in my head for an entire ketamine session was also very funny

#me as a teenager: black market anesthetic is such a dumb fucking idea who wrote this thing #me now taking my doctor-prescribed ketamine: I CAN'T FEEL NOTHIN' AT ALLLL #for my new followers: I take intranasal ketamine for the EDS lmao it makes it hurt less when my bones move around #and yes ketamine's typical use is a surgical anesthetic #for my old followers: I finally got a new ket doc and this one actually answers her phone and makes sure I get my medication ;;#she told me to try taking it more often around my period to see if it helps with the pain and I'm just like #okay boss lady #so if I seem high a lot more often that's why lmao doctor's orders

i'm also losing an alarming amount of hair, it's falling out by the handful 😬

#i can't go see my doctor bc i didn't do any of the things she prescribed the last time i was there #ie go see a chiropractor for my back #and get au autism assessment #i went halfway through the autism assessment and then never booked another appointment bc i didn't trust the therapist i went to #and i never went to see the chiropractor bc i don't like people touching me #but anyway yeah idk what to do #i'm pretty sure it's just fatigue and i need to sleep #but that would mean somehow beating my insomnia #and also no more or fewer movie nights :(#ughhhhh why can't everything just be easy

I hate to say this, but my pain meds have literally made waking up in the morning so much easier for me. I physically can't go back to sleep after my alarm, and I Want to get up, because the sooner I get up, the sooner I get to take my nice pills. Like, my brain now thinks of getting out of bed and it's like "oh, a little treaty for me? A little bit of brain melty for me? Oh, the joys of disconnecting from all of reality and floating through the day for Me??"

#it's pain meds. they're prescribed. I'm supposed to take them all day every day. I'm taking them as prescribed.#but i never thought this was a good idea and i'm like. not comfortable with the majority of my life being 'get high. stay home.'#i tried telling my doc and she was just like 'bentyl can't make you high :) it's not a narcotic :)" and at first i was angry but now im lik #she's lying. she lied on paper so the court or the medical board wouldn't catch her out prescribing a BS regimen just to make me more comfy #it worked!! I am in way less pain and i'm way more comfortable.#but this is--at it's very core--a cocaine prescription for an unrelated and untreatable illness. unfortunately.#medication #drugs tw #chronic pain

ooc: Well, got to that point where the first doctor (who I lovingly call "brain doctor") I saw about some problems took a look at me, didn't bat a lash and went "yeah, you're getting checked for ADHD with correlated GAD" so that's where I am currently: in hell.

#As Luiza said: The ADHD theory is getting progressively closer.#Unrelated but related: my boss is truly a disrespectful woman but much of what she disrespects me for #is caused by difficulties I have related to these problems I saw a doctor for.#The main difference is that though my previous job was hellish by virtue of what kind of department I work for #I had a boss who understood these difficulties and adapted to my needs instead of yknow treating me like I'm a dumb bitch.#This one boss now? She's a belittling prick and makes me feel dumber each time we speak #which has made my performance worse but woe is me.#I'm really looking forward to the therapy sessions with a neuropsychologist as prescribed.#If not ADHD then at least I'll get some guidance to the things I can't control and impact me in my everyday life.#ANYWAY. Rambling over just throwing it out there #tbd.#ooc.

I wish I could scream and people would understand what I was trying to say.

#carmo says things #personal #my illness is never valid in my mother's eyes #and that makes me furious #and sad; but most of it furious #i don't know how to explain it to you in a way that makes sense #because it's something that has a lot of background story and context #and i just..... 😔😔😔#i can't even be sick in peace here #if I can miss work because I'm not feeling well I sure as hell will and i won't be made feel bad about it by her #i do not give a fuck anymore #i just feel very...... idk.... unseen? disrespected? invalidated? by my mother every single time I'm sick #I'm always made feel like a nuisance for her and now she's making it seem like I'm being a nuisance to my boss too #like....... 😠😔😠😔😠😔😠#and she keeps on insisting i take meds I wasn't prescribed and honestly I'm fucking *SCREAMS* you know......#my mind is going 1000km/h

Didn't even make it til 10AM without sobbing at my desk this time.

#overachiever to the max #less than an hour at work? Time to SOB!#I fucked up an interaction with my doctor cuz they can't read and I can't pretend to be a sane normal human for two seconds #so I said #Hey the anti anxiety med you prescribed works really well and I do still have several left #but I don't want to be anxious about #like rationing them for fear that I won't get more so can we set it up as a recurring prescription like we had discussed?#and she said “I'm so glad it's working well for you! Happy holidays!”#so I said “Thank you. So if I need a refill do I call or?”#and she said “You can always call our office!”#so I called the office to clarify and immediately burst into tears because I am a disaster who hasn't stopped crying for three days #and they were like “do you... want a refill?” and I blubbered something about just needing to know that I CAN get a refill if/when I need t #so they are going to “Check with the doctor and let me know”#which means that she's going to find out I'm crazy #which probably means she won't give me these again #which means I have 12 to make last for the rest of time because I'm a fucking idiot and broke one trying to half it and it just shattered #because I can't even take pills correctly apparently #also found out yesterday I don't even take BATHS correctly like #jesus christ #can I please for the love of god have one single aspect of my life where I do something right #and am not just a fucked up disaster mess

"taylor swift is a gay icon though" kurt cobain literally kissed his bandmates onstage and said he wished he was gay simply because it would piss homophobes off but please tell me more about tswift's incredible allyship because I feel like I must be missing something here

#well you just don't like her because she's a woman #i bet you think she just writes songs about her exes #when will people understand that taylor doesn't really prescribe to anythinf but what's marketable #she just wants to make money with her music and she's found a niche that makes her very very good at it #and her fans will follow her to the moon and back and defend legit everything she does #you can't critique her without someone saying #or #and listen #taylor's music is good in the sense that it accomplishes what it sets out to do #and that is to make money #that's it #she's not your friend #and any allyship she has towards a cause is going to be inherently performative #sorry #taylor swift #kurt cobain #nirvana
