Everything will stop existing if you go far enough

No worries. Keto actually has been helping my symptoms but I struggle to eat enough and am rapidly losing weight, so it might not be a good long-term solution.

Right now they are coconut butter, peanut butter, carob chips, protein bars, and beef sticks.

The remaining player base is rife with toxic positivity. I’m a former destiny addict, but I quit a long time ago, and so did most of the people I used to play with. The game sucks now, and it’s not coming back.

Mainly just the pain of PMDD/endometriosis, being a shut-in because of that and ND, frustration at not being taken seriously enough by doctors, that I am not the best at expressing myself verbally, and that maybe if I could communicate in my preferred medium that they might understand better.

There’s also a chance that they continue to believe it’s treatment resistant depression and anxiety and refuse to even consider ADHD. That was my experience over a decade and at least a dozen doctors and therapists until I specifically sought out an evaluation. It’s also harder for women to get diagnosed, so that was probably a factor.

I went through ADHD Online and got treated through them a while, then I found a psychiatrist who specializes in ADHD/ASD. He said ADHD Online wasn’t scientific enough for him and had me do another evaluation which was also online and the 2nd part had to be done by a loved one. I’ve also heard of people whose doctors did accept the ADHD Online evaluation, so ymmv. ADHD Online was $200 for the evaluation, $200 for the first appointment, and $100 for follow up appointments, so I would recommend them if you’re desperate and can afford it.

The idea of creating a personal brand just sounds dystopian to me. I can’t even stand social media. If I can’t hold down a regular job, and I can’t handle being self-employed, then where do I fit into society?

Honestly I just feel more hopeless after reading this

I guess I’m pretty autistic 🤷

Find a condiment you like. It’s dijon mustard for me. If that’s not enough, I add a crunchy topping like pumpkin seeds or nuts to distract from the texture.

It’s also worth mentioning that hypermobility can occur without EDS, so it’s probably not worth worrying about unless it’s causing pain or other symptoms.

Slightly agree. I also have ADHD. Sometimes I need to be multitasking for things to get done, e.g. exercise, cleaning, showering are basically impossible if I’m not streaming something or at least listening to music.

If I’m studying, I need zero distractions, and that includes music, even if it doesn’t have lyrics. I also tend to hyper focus on games, so holding conversations while playing is very difficult. If I’m staring at my phone, I’m probably too focused to even notice someone come in and start talking.

Unsweetened licorice lozenges or black coffee

Regarding therapy, you could also just start seeing a therapist who specializes in ASD/neurodivergence. Most do not require a formal diagnosis.

Only if you need documentation for accommodations or disability.

What about crochet? There’s lots of nerdy things you can make.

That’s a really high dose of melatonin. If you take that much, your body depends on it and stops producing it naturally. Most people only need about .25 mg.

My preferred method is yoga (often Yoga with Adriene on YouTube), then meditate in corpse pose. Sometimes I’ll do a guided yoga nidra meditation on YouTube. Taking a leisurely walk through the park or woods while taking care to notice the surroundings is also nice.
