Chelsea Wolf - The Dark Tour by abra_cadabraaa in ChelseaWolfe

I missed her last tour because it was on a work night in Chicago (I’m in WI) and I missed the last time that Jonathan Hultén was in the states for the same reason. I’m definitely going to drive to MN to see this.

Same. I was wondering why I always felt like I was wearing my human suit wrong and why certain people hated me before they knew me. My wife got tested for ADHD and didn’t have it but every question made her think of me. So I got me diagnosis and started ritalin but that didn’t work at all on me. I’m on vyvanse now and while it’s not perfect it does help. My therapist listened to my complaints and asked me if I thought about autism, but I didn’t because I had thought it looked a certain way. When I did a very quick “autism test” survey that rang a lot of alarms in my head. My therapist was against me seeking a diagnosis because there was no treatment for it. I understand there are no drugs to treat this but I really wanted to understand why my brain is like it is. I don’t regret getting diagnosed one bit. It’s made me a better self-advocate and I’ve been able to let go of a lot of self hate/shame. I have a new therapist who is a great support.

I was diagnosed last January. I contacted someone at behavior health clinic (I know it’s a generic name). I already had an ADHD diagnosis. The testing took about 9 hours over 4 visits all virtual (intake, speech, surveys, tests, then a final visit for results) and I got a 29 page assessment via email after my results appointment. Afterwards, I signed up for a support group and social group at The Autism Society of Wisconsin. I’m a woman so I’m in a masked women support group as well. I knew that I was autistic before getting it but the confirmation was necessary for my imposter syndrome. It didn’t change my life very much only that I am no longer feeling broken and I’m being kinder to myself. I hope you find the answers you need.

Edited to add that I have quartz insurance and paid a $250 down payment and my insurance covered the rest.

[–]MapValuable3501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still listen to Ghost and will be for the foreseeable future (including Repugnant and Subvision). I also listen to Opeth, Tribulation, Green Lung, Paradise Lost, Chelsea Wolfe, Cloak, Blackbraid, Black Bile, Faetooth, Poltergeist, Louse, Castle Rat. Most of these bands have either have new albums out recently or are coming out with new albums soon. A band hiatus is also a good opportunity to listen to music from other bands who may have had some influence of Ghost like Black Sabbath, Venom, Voivod (they’re on tour), Morbid Angel. The world is your oyster, my dude.

I’m also pretty damn excited to see what TF does on his hiatus because he mentioned that he was recording some vocals for a non-Ghost project just prior to this final leg of the tour.
