I'm having a neurodivergent hell day. I'm having so many sensory, stomach, and headache issues that I wish I could put my brain in a robot body for a few hours, just for a break. Or transform into a cute lil axolotl swimming in a lovely aquarium where someone else is in charge of taking care of me. I wish I knew what to do to make myself feel better. I can't even play Pokémon 😭

I made the joke earlier that enjoying being friends with me should be part of the diagnostic criteria for ADHD, but I almost think it isn't a joke LOL. It would seem that people who don't also enjoy:
hyperfixating on things
the anecdotal conversation style typical of neurodivergent people
the ability to pick up as friends after weeks or months of not communicating like no time has passed
a gross amount of oversharing
...don't tend to stick around very long.

I spent a huge chunk of today cleaning and managed to clean most of the kitchen and dining room. WITHOUT the threat of someone coming to visit. If you have ADHD, you know how fuckin' rare this is!
I wish I could have this kind of energy every day, but I'll take the win for today!

Axolotls
I have recently become somewhat obsessed with axolotls, which seemed pretty random. I've been obsessed with cats, dragons, and penguins, but axolotl is very new to me. Granted, they are pink, adorable, and always look like they are smiling, all wonderful things, but that alone isn't usually enough for me to see a little crystal carving of one and say I NEED THIS RIGHT NOW!!!!
A few weeks ago that happened, and I bought it, and now it hangs out on my desk being all cute. I looked up what they symbolize out of curiosity. When I first looked it up, I just saw it means healing, but when I looked it up just now, it got even deeper: Axolotl as a Spirit Animal is a great healer; it arrives in your life when you feel torn apart and do not understand how to put your spirit together again.
That is even MORE apt to my life right now. It hit me when I saw this comic on facebook:
In masking my whole life, I cut off pieces of myself to fit in. So now I love axolotls because it symbolizes me regrowing the parts of myself I cut off in childhood.
I love you, Axolotl!

Yesterday was my 8 year wedding anniversary with my husband and we went out to see Twin Temple in concert (second time, this is the first time seeing them headline, though!). It was a ridiculously fun night, but specifically related to my neurodivergent journey, including gender fuckery:
I looked nonbinary as heck in my baggy half plaid pants, Hellfire T-shirt, shaved head, somewhat femme looking glasses. I was like gender? dunno her! Har har.
Also, I am pretty sure I got the like... smile of queer recognition from a WICKED pretty woman working the merch table lol. I was like oops did I just get flirty with a woman on my wedding anniversary???? lmao.
Another woman, who was goth'd out to the max, plus size, gorgeous, amazing, dark skin, the longest flowing braids I've ever seen in person, was vibing. the fuck. out. She didn't stop dancing the entire time I saw her, and it made me feel comfortable enough to dance my heart out. On the way out, I said, "You're amazing!" and she blew me a kiss!
And a big win, I didn't have a meltdown over traveling the whole evening! We had a total blast together the whole night.

video essays about tumblr and the sad girl era where they talk about tumblr as a sort of ancient relic that can’t even be described to a modern audience are so funny cause it’s like. i have the tab open right now. the ancient tomes are filled with alive autistic women

Very interesting musings the past couple of days.
First year of the pandemic: got diagnosed with ADHD.
Second year of the pandemic: self-diagnosed with Autism after an extremely disappointing evaluation from a neuropsych who really leaned into the stereotypes I've heard about trying to get an autism diagnosis.
THIRD fucking year of the pandemic: I think I'm realizing I'm transgendered. I saw a post that said the only requirement to be transgendered is to (even only sometimes) want to be a different gender. I've said for DECADES that I hate being a girl. Have not necessarily wanted to be a guy, but seriously dislike being female. I doubt I'll change my pronouns, but it feels kinda good to admit to myself.

So almost exactly 1 month ago I took my last antidepressant. In that time, the United States has gone from bad to downright fucking terrifying. Rights being stripped away, democracy being torn down, freedom being stomped all over. Tomorrow is the 4th of July where we're supposed to celebrate living in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
*deep breath*
*screams* FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I seriously don't think I'm depressed anymore but the world is goddamn depressing. I really don't want to go back on meds, but I can't stop crying every other minute from hearing about something else terrible happening. But... not crying over these things feels sociopathic.
How do we deal with shit when being sad as fuck is the appropriate reaction to what's going on???

Someone: says something that reminds me of a line from something completely random
Me to my brain: We're going to have a normal response to this, right?
My brain: Suuuuure *wink wink*
Me to someone: *Quotes the fucking thing in the exact same way the original line was said*
Me to my brain: WE FUCKED IT UP AGAIN!

Oh yeah, I actually managed to snag one of these! They ship in June and I can't wait!
I signed up for a subscription box curated for ADHD women and I'm on a wait list until June...but I want my dopamine noooow!
But it was also funny cuz I signed up for the wait list, it sent me an email to confirm that I am not a bot so I did that and then got an email to sign up for the wait list... so I did it again just in case and they sent ANOTHER email to sign up, so it's an infinite loop...
Definitely run by ADHD peeps!!! lmfao
