I’ve been off this platform for a long time, lots of life events have happened, but I’m ready to reconnect with people again.
Hello to all of you out there who see this, I wish you a good day and hope you can find a way to be kind to yourself today - you’re doing great ❤️
My therapist: You sound like you're burnt out, have you considered doing less stuff?
Me, a person with ADHD: But then I'd risk being bored, and that would be way worse.
@EmmaBostian Thank you for being vulnerable. Sorry that you’re having to face this as a repeated trauma. I hope you’ve got all you need around you and if you ever need another tired/burnt-out parent to listen in hard moments you can always call on me & @_phzn 💖
@schutzsmith @eduardsi Just to be clear I’m judging this profile on content and relationship to the event. Not on the persons appearance or anything about their presentation at all.
@schutzsmith @eduardsi A tell for me is that even when posting about red flags in companies this person never once mentions the gender discrimination that happens in tech spaces.
@schutzsmith @eduardsi All the posts read like they were written by a cis dude and posts that are weeks apart use pictures from the same set (same clothes, location, even same time on the clock, just a slightly different pose).
@schutzsmith @eduardsi I went through hundreds of posts and this profile exclusively promotes devternity and dev events and used the same “coded at night under caffeine” phrase - I’m not sure the person is fake as there was one video but it was v scripted so maybe a friend or relative
it is very clear that the vast majority of people still genuinely think that adhd is just a minor annoyance and it’s like no my brain physically never stops, i am unable to do things, i am constantly overwhelmed, it’s not just “no big deal” !!!!!!
@Penbrynhir@ThisIsLizaP@allisvnsoul@BlondeHistorian@EmperorsClothe1@GuideDogAva Brit here and I’ve always spelt this curbs. Pedantic wordsmithing aside I’m sorry that you experienced this Amy, people really need to do better. The correct and only response here should have been “I’m so sorry, I’ll move the van this instant and I won’t do this again”
