I have an existential crisis almost every other night before bed and end up not getting enough sleep when I have to work. I’m sorry to hear about your day. I hope tomorrow is better.

I’ve been rehearsing everything I’m going to say at work tomorrow even though I work from home 😂 I feel you so much on this one.

I retraumatize myself almost daily every time I have an audhd moment. It’s a cycle that never ends.

I procrastinate and end up causing myself undo anxiety of wondering if they now hate me or not for waiting last minute to cancel/reschedule. I hate disappointing people, but I still can’t get myself to do it.

Same. I end up waiting until one hour before closing so I don’t have to deal with people in the daylight. It’s already bright as it is inside.

I used to think I was a perfectionist because I lined up all of my office supplies, pens, pencils, calculators, tape, even chapstick and nail files on my work desk in perfect 90 degree angles.

Wishing I had your obsession rn.

I bought a cheap ikea lounge chair sofa, fitted it with some memory foam instead of the cheap inserts, and started sleeping in the living room. It’s been life changing.

😂 me every Sunday. I can’t leave the house on Saturdays anymore because I enjoy my one real day of freedom way too much.

That’s what the psyc told me when I was first diagnosed. She asked me if I ever told this to any other doctors. I said to her I didn’t think to because I thought I was the problem. And she apologized that I’ve had to deal with this for so long with no help and that my feelings are validated.

When I’m feeling down, I punish myself with isolation and withhold interacting where I can be perceived as me. I forget that like minded people are on this platform and I always feel better reading peoples similar thoughts. Thank you for confirming this for me :)

I go to the same pharmacy to pick up the same Rx every month and each time they confer in the back for five minutes to make sure I’m not a day early, I have five id’s to prove it’s me, and that I’m not some sort of criminal enterprise faking an illness for drugs.

I read your words and want to be productive except I’m stuck in freeze mode still. Love your motivational poem and will read it again tomorrow.

I hate the questionnaire they give you when going to a new doctor because nobody believes you’re autistic or adhd except your psychiatrist. Yes I have anxiety, depression, and antisocial thoughts. I know I look normal, it’s a mask.

Let me introduce you to my Inbox and tabs:

The power of the web bringing aliens/people of all kinds together! Glad you did too 🙃
