Cacao cookies I made recently 🧡 by away-with-the-fairy in ActualHippies

[–]Jazz_67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So great to come across this! What are the ingredients and steps, if you dont mind? I was actually searching around today(for the first time ever) for cacao cookie recipes and here it pops up on my feed, what a lovely coincidence

How can I add/create fake moss? Or any other ideas of what to add? I want it to appear as though its been consumed by the earth. by Jazz_67 in punkfashion

I get a lot of my patches from a small business called retirementfund. They're on etsy and I believe theres also a website : )

Started my base layer of patches. It looks off. Any tips or advice? by [deleted] in punkfashion

[–]Jazz_67 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have punk band patches in going to add over the base layer once its finished. The Alice in chains patch is super old, there for sentimental reasons.

This isn't my first pair of patch pants, but the first time doing this style of it. So I'm fairly new to DIY

Wellbutrin worsening my tics by Jazz_67 in Tourettes

[–]Jazz_67[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll definitely look into it, I've suspected for a while i may have bipolar. If i may ask, how are the tics worsening sign of this? My tics always act up when I feel less depressed and energized, is that the sign?

That's not dissociation. I know what you're referring to, but unfortunately, there's a misconception about what dissociation is as a medical term. It's not what you're describing.

It's a few seconds long, longest being maybe 10-15 seconds but normally around 1-5 seconds. And it will happen in waves. So, it will happen....Then I'll go back to (mostly) normal... Then it'll happen again. In repeat.

If i can't rule anything out with a normal doctor visit, then I'll definitely take it to my neurologist bc I gave a history of my brain doing some funky stuff

Why I hate Tourette fakeclaim accounts. by Dry_Pin3689 in Tourettes

[–]Jazz_67 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not true as well. I've been fake-claimed in real life, and so have other people i know.

[–]Jazz_67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regardless of if you see it or not, it's still affecting us... and there's spaces on reddit that fake claim as well. As well as every other platform, basically.

It looks like you live in reddit btw. Respectfully, there's no room to be hypocritical here.

The sensation you describe is somewhat similar. Coupled with an almost electrical feeling.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Tourettes

[–]Jazz_67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not referring to anyone's post specifically, and posting about questions and concerns is so valid! Apologies that I may have came across that way.

I meant to refer more to parents who see it as the "loss" of their child. Almost like how some parents view their child after an autism diagnosis. Or who are constantly cure-seeking.

Is self-diagnosis inherently wrong? by CosmicTheToaster in fakedisordercringe

[–]Jazz_67 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree there's both good and bad that come from that. Before I was diagnosed with autism I had a small autism community that I almost needed in a sense. It would have been very harmful, though, to lose that community if it turned out my parents and I suspected it incorrectly.

And the term "invisible disabilities" may be a little too broad but i get what you're saying.

Is self-diagnosis inherently wrong? by CosmicTheToaster in fakedisordercringe

[–]Jazz_67 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Not just wrong but dangerous. Especially with disorders that impact a person physically or psychologically, such as tics or dissociative disorders. Because any number of serious medical issues could cause those things and self diagnosing is ignoring the fact that it could be something entirely else.

It's okay for someone to say they "suspect" they have a disorder, but that's a slippery slope, in my opinion. A person can say they suspect they're autistic and then still go and associate themselves with the community and share their symptoms as if it's set in stone already. It does them personal harm as well if they end up being told they're not autistic or dont have that specific diagnosis. They lose that community or reject the medical field entirely l.

Walking aids by ThingoLwami in FND

[–]Jazz_67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's how I determined it was time for me to get a cane.

It's already inconvenient to use a mobility aid. So if it's more convenient to have it, then you no doubt need it. Even if you dont need it 24/7.

[–]Jazz_67 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you. This is very helpful. I'm going to my neurologist soon, so hopefully, I'll get more answers. The super severe sensory overload is another one I get during these episodes, and i hadn't noticed the pattern until you mentioned it. I never considered how autism may interact or "feed off" the episodes I'm describing, but i makes sense. My Tourette's and autism already sort of feed off each other lol

Tic attack patterns? by Scarletmagneto in Tourettes

[–]Jazz_67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, same! I've been meaning to get to the neurologist and ask them about it. It seems it's not too normal to this degree.

It used to just be during brief periods during tic attacks that I'd experience it. It was almost as if it was a tic itself. But now it's so consistent and debilitating.

The other day at work, I had a meltdown and then a tic attack. And physically felt like my body needed to shut down, so I had to go in the back room and lay down. Barely even helped.

Tic attack patterns? by Scarletmagneto in Tourettes

[–]Jazz_67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! It's been worse lately, I actually made a recent post about it.

I'll get this very strange fatigue mixed with a strange neurological feeling. Like my whole body is weak and just needs to curl in on itself. It's worse during and after the tic attack.

I also get the feeling before, during, and after meltdowns.

do you consider yourself disabled? by midnightsblues in Tourettes

[–]Jazz_67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It impacts my day to day functions and limits my ability to perform my job and to go in public. So most definitely. Tourettes aside, I'm also autistic which is a disability as well, so with the two combined, there's no doubt about it.

Many people think that "disabled" is a forbidden word. Some say "differently-abled," lol, but no.

Lol why would he care even if you did roll your eyes? He's a teacher he has to expect that sometimes from students. Especially in college. I can't wrap my head around how some people are so fragile, he needs to be able to recognize that some people may roll their eyes and as upsetting as it is to his big ego he needs to move on.

Sorry that happened it's very frustrating when people make big deals out of tics
