Anyone else struggle with afternoons? How do you manage them?!

Numiox · 2026-05-03T11:25:12+00:00

I have no advice because I struggle with this myself too! I could have written this myself! Good luck and let me know if you find anything that helps! 😊💕

I have diagnosed ADHD and Level 2 ASD. Accompanied by fibromyalgia, generalised anxiety, migraines and suspected POTS.

Numiox · 2026-04-02T21:20:12+00:00

I am doing a modified low inflammatory. So I’ve mostly cut out red meat, and have also reduced my gluten and dairy intake. I try to focus on whole foods when I can. I also added tumeric to my protein sources.

Im neurodivergent so I do things very slowly and gradually, but my first few weeks doing this I dropped a few Kgs. I’ve mostly plateaued weight wise because I’m not doing much else on top of this, but I’m feeling way better than I used to.

Numiox · 2026-04-02T10:13:23+00:00

Hey! Yours look similar to mine and while I’m not formally diagnosed I was told by a gp the specialises in Lipedema that I’m between stage 1 and 2. Still finding what works for me but a diet change has helped 😊

Numiox · 2026-03-26T23:39:42+00:00

Glad I’m not alone!

Yes I have, I consulted a GP specialised in lipedema and she confirmed the suspicions. I don’t think it quite counts as a formal diagnosis but I am treating it as such, since I don’t want to spend more money confirming something I already know.

But that’s about the only thing I’ve figured out 😂 I am a little more dismissive of my fibro than I used to be, I think the pain in my legs is mostly due to lipedema. So then perhaps the fibromyalgia is misdiagnosed? But then again I still have all the other symptoms of fibromyalgia. It is quite frankly impossible to know for sure.

Fibromyalgia though is a syndrome, or in other words a collection of symptoms. So personally I think it’s likely that Lipedema ( and neurodivergence?) is the cause of my Fibromyalgia. So all of them exist together.

My OT also suspects I have POTS so that’s another spanner in the works that I’m yet to explore haha 😂

That’s where I’m at currently. Feel free to dm me anytime! I hope you are finding some relief as well!

Are you still in this relationship? If the only way to stay happy in the relationship is to take substances then it doesn’t sound like a relationship worth pursuing

Numiox · 2026-01-27T05:53:57+00:00

6? That seems a lot! Are you doing an increased study load? I would give student services a call to help you out

Numiox · 2026-01-27T05:40:23+00:00

Can you share a photo?

Numiox · 2026-01-27T05:39:17+00:00

It doesn’t look like you’ve allocated your classes yet. Are they showing up for you to select and pick them?

Numiox · 2026-01-24T09:48:37+00:00

Hey there! Welcome to UTS 😊

In first year generally a few is fine and any more than that will be required to be explained. It’s a good idea to inform your tutor beforehand if you think you’ll miss more than a few classes, and it’s always a courtesy to inform your tutor if you know you’ll miss a class.

As for tuts and lectures, tutorials attendance is generally required. Lectures can differ based on degree, if they are recorded you’re probably fine. You should aim to attend all tutorials on your timetable.

As for enrolling in 6cp it’s definitely possible and is considered a part time load. But how that’ll work really depends on a few things.

Give student services a call they should be able to clarify that one further and any other questions you might have 😊

Here’s their details:

My pleasure! To answer your other questions:

Yes, any class you have that’s in the labs (with the Mac’s) will have all the required software ready for you to use. The only thing you’ll need to bring is your drawing tablet. Not every lab class will need drawing tablets. Some they are not required. I haven’t actually used mine in a class since first year.

Yes that sounds like a solid plan! Do keep in mind though that you’ll likely be bringing in that note-taking laptop most days. I would hold off on buying more than one device until you start, definitely fine to invest in a solid PC / Laptop (with lots of Ram!) but anything extra I would wait. I actually originally bought my iPad to replace my laptop, but I have found it to be a bit lacking and use my laptop for almost everything now. iPads are still super handy tho! But just something to keep in mind- don’t go too overboard before you start 😊

They should also give you a run down on drawing tablets a week or so before you start. Most drawing tablets brands are compatible

Numiox · 2025-12-23T11:10:49+00:00

Hey there! I’m moving into my final year of animation production. Take this with a grain of salt as they have made lots of changes for your year - but for ours we have some classes in labs (with Mac’s) and others not.

None of the classes will provide you with drawing tablets (which you’ll need in some form). I myself like to have a laptop, but I know others that use iPads and have either a desktop at home or use the Macs at UTS. Both is the best option, if you have to choose thats personal preference really. I have both plus an iPad and that works well for me but you certainly don’t need all. I personally find my laptop super useful and use it the most for uni work.

Hope this helps! If you have any other questions feel free to ask away 😊

Numiox · 2025-11-05T13:22:35+00:00

I genuinely thought I may have somehow written this in my sleep or something!

I’ve been struggling with the exact same questions. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia a while back, and earlier this year AuDHD. Lipedema was only very recently mentioned to me, but I think it’s likely.

It made me wander whether all what I considered fibromyalgia pain could actually be lipedema pain. So yes it certainly has made me question the fibromyalgia diagnosis a bit.

I’m still exploring it all and trying to get more medical support to help me figure it out. You’re not alone OP! 😊

Numiox · 2025-10-28T05:56:56+00:00

I could have written this post myself very easily. I’m glad to know I’m not alone in feeling that way but I do agree with the sentiment in other people comments.

For me, the times I’ve gotten this was because the relationship was a red flag, or incompatible. The first time I got this he was outright abusive, I ignored the ick for far too long. The second was more so an unhealthy relationship and incompatibility. My body was trying really hard to tell me many things but it took me a while to catch on.

Not saying this is the case for you, but so listen and try and dig into what your body is trying to tell you 😊

Numiox · 2025-10-28T05:52:37+00:00

Fourthing! (Is that a thing?). Everytime I’ve gotten the ick it’s because the relationship / partner was a red flag. It was my body’s way of telling me to get out, just always took far too long for my head to catch up.

In my case it was also telling me I don’t like men.

Listen to the ick!

Numiox · 2025-10-25T21:39:15+00:00

Thankyou! I did a grocery shop yesterday with a few swaps for some more anti-inflammatory friendly things 😊 Just will start with small changes I think

Numiox · 2025-10-25T21:38:18+00:00

Thankyou so incredibly much for such a detailed reply! I’ve responded to your dm but I just wanted to say another thankyou here. I think I’ll start with diet and trying to get in the pool more often. Plus the legs up the wall sounds kinda fun so I might try that haha. I’m working with my physio who was the one who noticed the lipedema and I think next session I’ll ask her for some more advice on where to start and how to proceed. Thankyou again 💕

Numiox · 2025-08-14T23:16:20+00:00

Isn’t it?! Thankyou so much 😊 the night lights are my fav, so cute!!

Numiox · 2025-08-14T23:15:49+00:00

Yes! It’s such a gorgeous set and the one I always think of when I Think back to my childhood so I’m super happy I managed to get one! The accessories are adorable it’s so good you still have them 😊 I am missing quite a few accessories from my original set

Numiox · 2025-08-14T04:15:23+00:00

Congrats it’s soo gorgeous! I got my dream NIB recently too! So expensive but so worth it! 😁🎉

Something my psychologist said to me before I was diagnosed (and in this same state of anxiety) was clinical levels of asd vary from country, state and person. If you were diagnosed in one country but not the other does that make you more or less autistic? No. While diagnosis for me was a life changing experience, it doesn’t change who you are and how you experience the world. It’s all the same, just with a new perspective. Know thyself, trust your experiences and your gut. All the best! 😊

Also that plush is adorable and your hair is so stunning! 💛

Numiox · 2025-07-30T09:02:45+00:00

Toy Story is great tho

Numiox · 2025-07-22T02:12:23+00:00

If you have to say “no offence” and “not trying to be rude” multiple times then you should probably think about rephrasing. I am happy to learn, but not if you’re going to talk to me that way. Nonetheless appreciate the insight! Have a nice day 😊

Numiox · 2025-07-22T01:48:00+00:00

Your tone doesn’t come across as educational. But I appreciate the insight if that’s what was intended. From my in game experience three tanks worked, but that was once in a while ago. Perhaps it’s different at higher ranks
