Welcome! I moved to lemmy the Sunday before the blackout and haven't looked back. I did go back finally on June 30 and deleted my account. There may not be as much content now but that will come in time as we all hopefully try and contribute. I was mostly a lurker on reddit myself, only started commenting more within the past year so will try to be better here. I am quite enjoying my time here and I hope you do as well.

Love this particular asparagus. So feathery and fluffy. Also, just so people know this is not actually a fern but relates to the asparagus we eat!
From a Canadian living in America, Happy Canada Day!
I moved over here the first day of the blackout but went back earlier today and deleted my posts and account. Welcome to all the newcomers!
Sweet! Another one! I'm just over here collecting apps to try with lemmy! This is exciting!
Omfg! Ahahaha. And now I have the queen song bicycles going around in my head.
Ahaha. As a Canadian now living in America I am laughing over your intro to your comment. I am working on this myself because I often get caught up in this I'm sorry narrative myself. I don't k kw why I do it. Perhaps my whole life of constant feeling I need to apologize for my own behavior. Who knows. But I'm getting better and trying to at least change the narrative of my words to be more appropriate to the situation.
So I have an appointment coming up with my new family doctor. I am going to ask for some blood tests and get my routine checkup. Then I'm going to just say I've been having some significant mental health issues and am going to ask for a referral for therapy and possible adhd assessment. At least that's what I'm telling myself I'm going to do. I have that fear about the drug seeking opinion too but I'm trying to get over it. That is their problem not yours and if they are going to have thst opinion find a different doctor. Course I'm saying this but at the same time I'm just a scared little girl in a grown ass woman's body with all this and I'm not evennsure the point I'm trying to make from this. I guess just advocate for yourself. Your experiences are your own and you knkw yourself best.
I feel you on this. I was informed this week that I am getting more work and I'm like nooooo. Hopefully I can still fit it in 4 days. I don't hate my job, it can actually be fun but I'm just tired of working. And yes I'm being a crybaby. Lol.
And then there are the photo ones that I can't even figure out. I'm just a dumb monkey pressing buttons on those. I wonder how good AI is at those cause it's probably better than I am.
Forgot I joined this group. I just saw it on my list and was reminded. Time to see what you all have been up too. I will try not to lurk but lurking is a hard habit to break.
Not op bit just wanted to thank you all for your responses. I have a Dr appointment in a couple weeks and want to ask them about an assessment. Likely just going to ask for a referral but want to be prepared. Kinda stressing but reading your experiences has helped a bit. So once again thank you. Been putting this off for way too long.
