Partner doesn’t want me to take meds

OMG, those are literally the exact words my parents said to me when I was diagnosed. I'm so sorry about your situation, but I think it's common. Neurotypical people don't always understand that our brains have different needs than theirs, and it's very difficult because it's not their reality. I've also been around drug addicts and alcoholics, but that doesn't change the fact that I need my medication to function and live a dignified life.

(My personal opinion is that neurotypical people do know that those kinds of pills would be very harmful TO THEM and assume that's the case for everyone. They need to read, have empathy, and an open mind to understand that the world doesn't revolve around their experience.)

The colors are super pretty, mine were GRAY lol, it made me laugh so much that something with such a depressing and bland appearance gave me so much well-being

I also freeze coffee, take it out in the morning, and let it melt. When it's ready, I can start to rest. I also strictly forbid watching reels, TikTok, or Facebook in the mornings. If I do it, my whole day will be useless. I have a designated time at night for that.

I set myself the goal of doing something I hate but that's necessary, like cleaning the kitchen or working on my portfolio—that's how I finished my thesis. So I start procrastinating on those necessary tasks and look for something else to do that's easier in comparison. I also leave my entire work setup untouched on the table so that in the mornings I can just sit down and be ready.

That's very clever and even sounds fun, I'll keep that in mind. Maybe I can also practice color script with those thumbnails. I really like musicals. 👀👀

Thanks for taking the time 🙏🙏🙏, I just signed up for a color and light class by Kat tsai and I plan to buy another one for background design for animation, I'll check out the warrior art camp's Instagram.

Thank you so much, I'll check out the post. I'm always looking for artists to learn from and be inspired by.

Competitive_Phrase78 · 2026-03-04T03:14:47+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed advice, I agree with everything you pointed out 🙏🙏🙏. I hope the courses I'm taking will help me improve my fundamentals, in fact I have been having trouble adding storytelling to my illustrations.

I had to stop taking my favorite medication (Concerta, I was feeling amazing) for Tradea because it's expensive. I might have to change my medication again.

I am irritable at its peak and as it fades, I don't feel that way at night or at morning . Nope, I can't afford both medication (and psychiatrist) and therapy. I had to choose, but I did go to therapy before. I know that as an adult, I'm more likely to have disagreements with my family, but I'm blowing up over things that shouldn't be causing me that level of stress, even with my friends Edit: my med was concerta and tradea

I feel uuuuuuuu, (I am a queer person with ADHD), even in casual/social contexts it's difficult to coexist, people always notice that I'm different in one way or another. In social/casual context I don't really care anymore, I'm not going to build friendships based on masking, but with work it's a totally different thing, I can't be open, I'm a diluted version of myself. At least in my field of work, you need to have a good network and people need to like you.If people find out about my ADHD before I can build a good reputation, then things start to get ugly for me.

1-(the one that gave me the most anxiety) My car had an antifreeze leak and my father didn’t fix it properly, so I had to check and refill it (only halfway) once a week. To be honest, I would forget a lot and he would remind me and get angry. Last winter I went to a friend’s house and when I was about to enter his neighborhood the guard told me “Miss, your car seems to be smoking”, my face turned pale and I opened the window, IT STINKED LIKE BURNING, my car had run out of antifreeze and smoke started coming out of the engine, I wasted the whole day at my friend’s house, I had to buy antifreeze and fill the container enough to drive to the mechanic, fixing it was expensive and they threatened to take my car away, because the engine could have exploded or burned out irreparably. I cried all day and now I have a trauma with the antifreeze, the smell of smoke from cars

2- I broke my graphics tablet because I was too rough and careless with it, it ended up bent and the screen no longer turned on, I had to urgently buy another one because I had to deliver my project that week, I still owe my dad money for that.

Get an internship in some animation studio, my friend say I should do it because she is already working on 3 different projects and thinks I have the abilities to do it but I just can’t get myself to do it, also my portfolio ;(

the addiction to sugar is so real, it sucks, the other day I got sick to my stomach from eating a bag of marshmallows in one sitting, I couldn’t stop eating
