ADHD and Sober. Yes, your emotions are distracting. Typos. Here for the Music and the Politics. Listen to Black Women.

@roryreckons I love that you mention head bashing without shame, I always feel so awful when I do it. Usually I hit myself to activate the crying phase, which is a relief after the anger/fear stage. I can usually steer them somewhere more productive after the emotion storm passes

@SingingDogz @angel_0f_deathx The dispensary I work at had black Friday deals, and the weed was decent looking. State regulations test for impurities in the weed too.

@bitter_still My room is also too small for my (Queen) bed, and it is currently in a corner. I made the corner pretty and functional though, so hopefully that appeases the Gay gods.

Nuerodivergent: "Communicates expectations and directions clearly"
Neurotypical: "Well I can't possibly be expected to do that, Also I didn't mean directions for X, I meant Y. You probably should have heard what I meant not what I said." And WE are the ones with the problem?!

I'm trending on Twitter today. But I don't meet the criteria. #VerifyLance @premiumbusiness

@chaoticgaythey YES. But it doesn't work so well when the substance is a coping mechanism. Not all of addiction is stopping, a lot of it is *staying stopped* which ADHD brains struggle with. Breaking mental addiction and replacing it with better coping skills is worth the work in my experience.

@get_inflow As a recently out Lesbian whose journey was needing help with substance abuse-->finally getting treatment for my ADHD-->AA (which is basically free group CBT)-->coming out as a Lesbian... I feel this.

@autietoons It wasn't as bad as it could have been. He mentioned the mistakes but also that what was worse is that I seemed to have stopped caring, which is true. I told him that I was planning to quit and pursue something different and as hard as it was, at least it's out there.

[AthrynManning #khive💛🐝 @AthrynManning]

@autietoons I've been at this job for 5 years, I got sober at this job, I care about it deeper than I should and I feel a lot of shame for not doing "my best" (it's very detail oriented), judged by a neurotypical standard I'll never match of course.

[AthrynManning #khive💛🐝 @AthrynManning]

@autietoons I have a meeting with my boss, who has discovered I have made some mistakes over the last several months and I am sure he is going to tell me I am bad at my job (again) and that I need to do better (without assistance that I ask for) and I have a two weeks notice written.

[AthrynManning #khive💛🐝 @AthrynManning]

@wakj235 I currently have two jobs, and I have to go to school to get certified to do this "side gig" full time, the part time doesn't pay the bills. My full time gets crazy busy in Aug and January, so I can't do school without quitting and borrowing $$ but it doesn't feel okay.

[AthrynManning #khive💛🐝 @AthrynManning]

I hate that I need someone to tell me it's okay to quit my job. I want to move on to another thing but I don't know if I am supposed to keep trying to do both things for awhile or if I should quit a job I hate so that I can really commit to the new thing or keep juggling?

[AthrynManning #khive💛🐝 @AthrynManning]

I couldn't find a pen I knew was somewhere in my room the other day, but hey that was how I finally got around to cleaning up my room so Win, I guess?

[AthrynManning #khive💛🐝 @AthrynManning]

@autietoons Before I got medicated I didn't understand how ANYTHING worked, let alone myself. Now at least I have some space to figure it out and have built up more of a support network that isn't constantly shaming me for relying on them.

[AthrynManning #khive💛🐝 @AthrynManning]

@autietoons I have been medicated for ADHD for about 2 years but am still having intensive stress, sensory, and executive function issues. It doesn't feel like its my whole answer either.

@Higginbotham4WV Congratulations. Now if you could only stop stop being a perfect example of how white male gays are white men first before they are EVER allies to the LGBT community.
