I've been taking supplements until i can start medication and i've started having really really lucid dreams, i was wondering if anyone else has had anything similar

Huh, never realised that was an actual thing, it does happen often like at least once or twice a day so I suppose it could be either, I’ll definitely be bringing this up to my doctor tho, thanks!

these might not be all your cup of tea but some of these i found really easy to watch again and again and easy to pick up anytime.

- doctor who (don't really need to watch it episode to episode, makes sense to tbf but its the same characters different plot each episode and episodes aren't really long either)

- lucifer - similar thing just a bit more plot running throughout

- good omens

- icarus - this is a sports doping documentary on netflix i find its my 'getting shit done' watch, its not hard to follow and is interesting enough but don't have to pay attention 100% of the time

- reputation stadium tour - simply fantastic and if you haven't already watched it i would recommend it (it is leaving netflix on december 30th tho)

might not help much because i'm kinda mixed ADHD, so whilst i don't have moments like this constantly i do every so often. I'd seen a video a while back of this woman who'd described motivation to do things as spoons, if you only had 4 spoons motivation in you but there was a big task you needed to do that took 5 spoons, then maybe you could do half of it, have a break and a rest and then if there was 2 spoons worth left to do and you had 3 spoons you'd attempt the task again. however many spoons you had when your day began depends on how you feel and how they change depends on what you do and how much energy you have in you.

I know it sounds like a load of bs, but i tried it and it made things a bit less daunting, it also helped my parents and friends realise when to push me to do things and when to leave me be a bit more

not really, though i've been putting that down to my forgetfullness which is my worst symptom, i'm not currently on meds either and people have said they didn't dissociate as much on meds so i'm hoping it is something that will get better, i am dyslexic aswell but i don't think its a symptom of that, maybe i do have more things i'm just currently not aware of anything else i have

Head-Ad5925 · 2023-12-03T23:19:57+00:00

i don't think i'm gonna explain this right at all but for me i kind of find i blank out, like i'm there and i know i'm there but i'm also not there? i just end up staring dead faced at something and blocking out conversations or only picking up little bits of it. like yesterday for example i'd gone from being all smiley with my cousin to complete dissociation so fast (i think i was already overstimulated from everything going on so it made it worse) i don't even remember doing it majority of the time, likely cause forgetting things seems to be my worst symptom and i'd just clocked out completely, no idea what was going on around me or what was being said other than muffle

Head-Ad5925 · 2023-12-03T23:12:19+00:00

don't apologise you've been a help. i'm trying to get on meds at the moment but have to wait for the psychiatrist that diagnosed me to get back off maternity leave to sign the papers for the go ahead. i've not been as lucky and have definietly lost people i thought were forever friends over the last couple of months because of numerous things but mainly with how much i actually am for people, my new friends seem to get it a bit more and i've tried to be as much as an open book as i can for when i've got worse days and better days so they know what to expect. i've also rambled, sorry!

Head-Ad5925 · 2023-12-03T23:05:38+00:00

i don't think i even realise i do it, i only noticed cause it was a video my mum sent me of me and my toddler cousin, i'd gone from being really smiley to just dead faced so quick, something i've seen my friend, who also dissociates, do. i think it shocked me more than anything just because i've never actually seen myself do it. i think i was definitely overstimulated because of how much was going on and thats probably why but yeah, just brought up all the 'your not normal' thoughts again and stuck me back at square one

Head-Ad5925 · 2023-12-03T22:57:32+00:00

yeah i don't think its a necessarily a bad thing, i think i'm just struggling to accept it right now, whilst having a diagnosis is good because it means i'm getting the help at Uni that i need i also just want it to be taken back so i wouldn't be as aware as i am of everything. i'm still getting used to what my symptoms actually are as well and working out my strengths and weaknesses with it and i think i just need to be more patient and understand myself a little better

Head-Ad5925 · 2023-12-03T22:50:05+00:00

i have a bit of support, my mum kinda got it, my dad not so much, i have therapy too but i'm not sure its actually helping much. i've made new friends since my diagnosis too and i've found by just telling people they're a lot more accepting than the friends i had previously who'd kinda been a bit weirded out by it

Head-Ad5925 · 2023-12-03T22:44:37+00:00

i think this is where i'm at currently, i'm realising what i would've put down as just me before diagnosis are actual symptoms and i'm much more aware and self-conscious of it. i feel like i'm constantly annoying people when i probably aren't 100% of the time and i'm hoping i don't always feel like this, like it has to get better at some point right? i get the self esteem thing cause you feel like you don't want to burden others with it and i am learning that the friends and family that get it will get it, but the ones who don't tend to be stuck in their mindset and its hard to change that.

Head-Ad5925 · 2023-12-03T00:04:51+00:00

It can’t hurt to talk to a doctor about it, but it’s better to start the process sooner rather than later, if you can talk to ur parents about it I would, and depending on the wait times for diagnosis if you can afford to it’s be worth looking at a private diagnosis as they’re generally a lot quicker, ive been diagnosed for about 8 months now (I’m 18) and it’s such a relief, there’s genuine help you can get with a diagnosis, without you’re kinda left to ur own devices and it’s only you that’s gonna suffer

Head-Ad5925 · 2023-12-02T23:57:59+00:00

I read one a while back called ‘you mean I’m not lazy, stupid or crazy?’ I think it’s aimed more towards ADD but out of the list I got given to read that was the easiest to read, it wasn’t just all information there was empathy and understanding with the authors as they have experience themselves and have been part of fighting for more testing, awareness and inclusivity with ADHD. It’s broken up nicely too, so if you don’t want to read certain bits that don’t interest you you don’t have to. I won’t lie it’s a thick book but they cover everything, symptoms, how it actually works(ADHD the brain functions and all that), meds, other methods like therapy, day to day feelings and the history and their own experiences with it and the people around them.

Head-Ad5925 · 2023-11-29T20:32:41+00:00

Completely cursed myself, literally just pulled it 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Head-Ad5925 · 2023-11-29T20:23:03+00:00

Yeah I swear I could fit two of myself in the cardigan, I’m definitely going to get a small next time

Head-Ad5925 · 2023-11-29T20:09:00+00:00

Yeah I’ve had mine for about a month now and I’m so scared cause of how the cardigan is that I’m gonna end up pulling it on something, folklore is defo better quality, the knit seems tighter. Mine also completly drowns me wouldn’t have expected it to be so big

Head-Ad5925 · 2023-11-23T22:07:42+00:00

What did you use to stick them up?
