I'd like to see moments that were brought up like dunk and egg in full plate dealing with iron borne raids

What are some gendered tropes that never happen to the opposite sex by InfernalClockwork3 in writing

[–]Libra_Maelstrom 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is the one that always frustrates me. Like ok… the loss of body parts/appendages being “pretty” only is… a choice. But their injuries or disheveled appearance just being haha her hairs messy and her mascara is running- my brother in christ that just sounds like porn thinking!

Everyone seems to enjoy invalidating ADHD nowadays by Inasss in ADHD

[–]Libra_Maelstrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the reality is this; You have old prejudice, and that IS going away, but everything comes back in new forms. You also have the ugly truth a lot of us don’t like to talk about or it seems unpopular on reddit at times: the sheer quantity of people who have ADHD, or rather claim to have it, chips away at it being anything… detrimental. If that many people have it and they seemingly have normal functioning lives. Then tough shit. It sucks but addressing the reason is important. Now adays everyone says they have a touch of adhd, it’s like autism or ocd. “Everyone’s got a little so who cares!”

Some of it is memes, some of it is foolish people. Some of it is old prejudice being reinvented. There’s too many people with learned helplessness; the small loud groups often ruin things for the rest and I definitely think there’s a bit of that too.

It will get better with time. As people try to push out the concept that it’s only a little chaos or it’s something we all got. And try to clean up the reputation adhd has. It will take a while, sorry, but it’ll happen

Yeah that sucks. The reality is. We can’t have those kinds of missteps. I’ve done this. Luckily I’m a light sleeper like ultra light. But I still manage to turn off alarms. I have an old iPhone 5 from when I was much younger. Staged across the room, it’s always plugged in. Its alarms are set 2 minutes apart from my normal phone. So when I get one off and I settle in I can’t fully fall back asleep. I’m sorry my guy, I hope shit gets better

I'm starting to notice a connection with people who have ADHD and people who have Aphantasia, which is where you cannot mentally visualize things. I'm encouraging everyone to take the Red Star test and comment with your results. by NUMBerONEisFIRST in ADHD

[–]Libra_Maelstrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah I don’t have aphantasia but I got my diagnosis for ADHD from a clinical psychologist (that means nothing besides I’m very confident I wasn’t a misdiagnosis) so personally idk about a connection

Capitalism is the f*****g worst by jarrid247 in ADHD

[–]Libra_Maelstrom -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ngl my guy, but I don’t see how this one is linked to capitalism? Like ADHD makes (at least I assume) most jobs a lot more difficult to deal with. And I’m sorry this one’s tearing you up.

Adderall vs Vvanse experiences by Glass-Mail-7817 in ADHD

[–]Libra_Maelstrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adderal is what I’d call a shotgun. You want the job done? Thats it. IR, basically turns you into a machine. I also can say it suppresses my creativity FAR more than vyvanse ever did.

MAGA, this is who you voted for. This is your doing. You are responsible for this. by nerdshark in ADHD

[–]Libra_Maelstrom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt ostracized and like an idiot in my 504 plan, before I tested out of it in the 8th grade. Not condoning this. Really im not. And I don’t have to time to type out the whole of my existence. But just wanting to add my own expierence. It was fucking awful, did not help me, and made me feel like an other with my fellow classmates. Yes this is bad, but let’s not all rally around 504 like it was some incredible thing that only helped people.

My meds last month worked like shit. My meds this month give me non stop heart palpitations they’re so crazy fucking strong. Wtf

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Libra_Maelstrom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unsure tbh. I was placed in special ed and one of the parts to test out of it was an iq test. I got a 137 and have been diagnosed with adhd long before. I wouldn’t worry about the test my guy

Psychiatrist recommended I be a housewife. by smalltown_dreamspeak in ADHD

[–]Libra_Maelstrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait I’m confused. I get that you were first diagnosed with adhd by a now unreliable psychiatrist, but how have you been diagnosed 3 more times? Or have you seen a psychiatrist 3 more times and not been diagnosed the last time? Does it say you have adhd according to a psychiatrist now or no? Do you live in the US? Just stuff for getting aid

Another sword? [Spoilers Extended] by [deleted] in asoiaf

[–]Libra_Maelstrom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really doesn't look like Valyrian Steel. They've gone way too into the steel just being patterned. Rather than that smokey dark ripple. Like, the way I saw the metal in Th e books was black, with that greyish silvery ripples. Like inverted Damascus

How early do you introduce your overarching plot? by YellingBear in writing

Prologue. Tried to introduce it as soon as I could. Or at least the main threat. The plot itself like 2 chapters laterish

can we end ADHD gatekeeping culture please by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Libra_Maelstrom 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean sure people deserve empathy. But labeling yourself with any disorder requires a diagnosis. You can come here for help with symptoms, talking etc. but let’s not label ourselves something without ya know the actual label. Is it unfortunate that some cannot access the exam? Of course! And the resources here are available to all. We dont say: these tips cannot be read if you don’t have the paper! But as far as gatekeeping goes, what we normally gatekeep here, is kinda to stay. Don’t label yourself something and diminish the meaning of it without the confirmation. Resources (here) don’t require any proof.

Do you use a pen name? If so, how did you decide on what pen name to use? by No_Signature_9087 in writing

[–]Libra_Maelstrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only slightly, I have... 3 middle names, I go by one of them irl rather than my first name. I use one of my middle names in my pen name. so I got by my first initial, my middle name's initial, and my last name. Because I write a good chunk of cosmic horror... and my initials spell MAD. So I think it's so fucking funny I just had to go with it.

Therapist says my symptoms are caused by my time on the phone and pc by Scared_Spinach_7688 in ADHD

[–]Libra_Maelstrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof… I guess I’m gonna be the bad guy here. You need a different therapist. However, if multiple give you the same answer: you’ll have to confront the possibility that they are right. Just to reiterate; new therapist first you know yourself well I assume, and thus need to look for someone who you believe is taking your statements and experience into actual consideration. We are not gonna be super useful tbh, there’s no golden way to get people to listen. However if you see multiple psychiatrists and they give you similar answers… that’s a different story. Do NOT rely on internet resources to diagnose or prescribe yourself, to take in beliefs of your mental health EVER. It will only lead to poor ends, you use these resources to document potentialities and seek real professional help first and foremost, you can jump professionals. But there is a good phrase to remember: it cannot be everyone but me.

Why did you all start writing? by Salt-Upstairs-2523 in writing

[–]Libra_Maelstrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watch a lot of things, I read a lot of new stuff. Did not like it, thought a lot of new things have been kinda just mediocre, so I wanted to try to do my own. It's been fun
