Hopeless romantic. Over-analyzer. Charmingly neurotic. Nuerodiverse. She/her. I talk a lot about ADHD, anxiety, and depression.

Asking for a friend: how worried should I be about my physical health and social life if masturbation is my only cardio?

Yesterday I learned it's awesome to be hit on while wearing a bikini because that person has seen all the worst parts of my body before we've even gone on a date, and that's such a tremendous relief

The season 2 reunion episode of Temptation Island deserves editing awards. So many perfect reaction shots and cuts to conversations among the singles psychoanalyzing the couples in real time, yet I can still understand what’s happening among the cross-talk 🤌

@tjchambersLA 🤣 as someone who took ceramics their senior year of high school, and whose teacher had to make a show of breaking the bongs students would attempt to sneak in the kiln, I really appreciate this joke

[Heather has RSD & ADHD @heathersborges]

I hate the person who introduced me to Temptation Island because it’s 2:30 am but I’m nowhere near sleep because I just watched video message day on season 2 and I’m feeling too hyped on girl power to sleep! Also the song choices on this show are pure perfection. Every damn one.

I do not understand why Californians prefer to constantly brake instead of decelerating. Do they love to waste gas and cause traffic?

But hey, I can give you a very long list of reasons why neurotypical people think I suck as a human

[Structured Success @StructuredSucc]

Neurodivergent people generally receive more negative feedback for completely inconsequential things than neurotypical people.

When we're repeatedly told even the smallest things we're doing are wrong, self-worth, self-esteem, and self-love can be incredibly hard.

Fellow NDs, persistent MDDers, and those with anxiety disorders: do you ever feel that it would be unethical for you to have children because giving your genes to another human feels like cruel and unusual punishment? Or is my self-loathing too extreme?

ADHD is a condition that impacts self-regulation, such as regulation of attention, impulse, movement, and (for many of us) emotion.

This means that, for ADHD'ers, there can be a bigger disconnect between our intent and our actions

[Heather has RSD & ADHD @heathersborges]

Does anyone else spend a lot of time thinking about how no one asked if they wanted to exist or do you not have deep depression too?

There have been more mass shootings in the US in 2023 than there are days in 2023. Happy Valentine’s Day!

When someone finds out a new thing about themself, it's only natural to spend time trying to understand life in relation to it.

When people complain you're "making everything about your condition," they should consider that it might be a necessary part of coming to terms with it

My favorite ADHD gift is the confidence that I can do just about anything if I find it interesting enough.

I’m watching Cheers from the beginning and I’m worried about how much of myself I see in Cliff and Diane 😬

#adhd fact of the day: ADHD meds, when used properly, are not addictive. In fact, studies have shown that treating your ADHD with stimulant meds actually decreases your risk of addictive behaviours.
