i don't even bother looking for those anymore. If i drop something tiny i just assume it slipped through the cracks in reality and will re-emerge at a random point in time, past or future

and also your neighbours doing DIY one after the other

if they want to use their powertools fine but at least pick a day out of the week to do it all together!

i'm glad it worked out for you! :)

for me it was a gradual climb of worsening anxiety until those near panic attacks kicked in with no signs of improvement

soon ish i'll be trying adhd meds since i suspect my anxiety is caused by rejection sensitivity dysphoria and feeling of overall inadequacy and uselessness. And on them i'll be hopefully able to do things and slowly prove to myself that i'm not useless

nah it was just general light anxiety, and strong situational anxiety. both stemming semi-directly from adhd

though it only coincidentally related SSRIs fucked me up in a different way (which still affected my libido tbf). i didn't even get to a month of treatment before i decided to quit - they were supposed to help with my anxiety, but instead of helping they made it significantly worse, to the point where i felt as if i was spending my time edging a panic attack at all times of the day. At first i thought i was just getting worse normally, but then i noticed i felt better in the evenings (i was taking them in the mornings). i just couldn't keep going it was awful

there's plenty of people for whom SSRIs are life changers, but sadly i'm not in that group

we don't give a shit what "detriment to society" adhd is. Executive dysfunction is detrimental to the quality of life, and that's one symptom amongst many

the society was built for neurotypical people, and so neurodiverse people need help to function in it in a way that doesn't make them feel worthless - and that means treatment, be it with therapy and/or meds

neurodivergence, adhd included, is actually widely underdiagnosed - some doctors estimate 1 in 5 people is neurodivergent. And those rates have been rising (though possibly because of increased acceptance)

was thinking more "hey you just got your paycheque :)" and "someone in Cambodia is trying to access your banking account"
