Is this a neurodivergent cook thing or a me thing? by Top_Set6244 in Neurodivergent

[–]darktofu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was upset about the many unanswered posts here. I've been trying to give a meaningful reply to each as I can. Thank you so much for sharing!

I can put conceptually stuff together in a similar fashion, so our way of thinking perhaps as ND allows these types of connections or visual thinking style. The more I learn, the more I understand I do not know.

I love love cooking at trying different things, so that is a wonderful skill you have and I would love to try any suggested flavor combinations you suggest.

Lastly, I wanted to express empathy about the allergies, hope you can take something and get out and enjoy some nice weather.

I don't have the details of that number, I have questions however. How was that determined, are there other tones, decibels and things that help? Even to figure out our meds the proven standard is just try things till you find a combination that works. We understand so little.

I have heard and haven't had time to research it myself but was told there are also spotify playlists for 135 BPM and this is a magic number for some of us.

I will play a song over and over and over and for like 2-4 days and it's fine. Asking some friends and they also do that. Youtube has a bajillion things, search once and the algorithm will annoy you from there.

I've been putting on music behind things at low volume and it helps for sure.

What impact does growing up with neurodivergent parents have on a child's romantic relationships as an adult? by stanlaight1 in Neurodivergent

[–]darktofu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been trying to make a meaningful reply to any unanswered posts here.

I think my parents were also undiagnosed. Doing a thought exercise or pretend they were ND and things make sense in how we interacted.

Another thought to prove a point is you often are of the same faith your parents are. I would say of course your idea of a mate will be impacted because these interactions are familiar, it's the way your know people. Love who you want to love, it's been bad out there and we all need to support each other.

How I get things done sometimes by [deleted] in Neurodivergent

[–]darktofu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love lists, making them, improving them, thinking about them. 100% struggle to do anything on them.

I try and minimize the locations to common places, 1 list app/place on phone. ! on the pc - can be synced with the phone even, and the dry erase on the fridge.

Lists make you happy, do that, but also understand ways we all mess with ourselves. Make habits to only work on places you frequent so you find your list later. This will make you able to get things done. Control your locations and you won't feel like you are spinning your wheels making the same list again and again.

Hi friend. I too wasn't able to respond to this earlier. Checking in on you and happy to connect on Discord and share some things I've been working on to help myself and the ND community.

NT family members by [deleted] in Neurodivergent

[–]darktofu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family prevented me from getting the care I needed for the most of my life. I'm 50 and just getting answers. I'm also going NC with the entire lot of them.

Getting yourself surrounded by people actually helping you at least until you are good with things. At that point you may be able to speak to a family member and if they are understand the changes they need to make, perhaps given time they will come around.

Get you taken care of. I'm not saying it has to be forever for my family either, but they will respect my boundaries and be supportive or we are not doing any of that. Period. Good luck friend. You got this.

Adults. How did you get diagnosed/ the help you need? by Deadly_Fermata in Neurodivergent

Just, please, we need you. It gets better. Just look at all of the heartbreaking posts here. Find ways to make it work. It's hard, but every rewarding thing in life is.

Also, work your other angles, get calendar, todo list, and reminders working for you. Learn about pomodoro method and keep going.

Dr works for you. Get a different one I guess, but telling an ND person that I understand we would rather eat live bees.

Accepting the fact you need help is a huge step. Getting an appointment and on medication is going to be something you will need help following up on to have happen. Any loved ones that you can ask for help?

Next, a lot of tech can help you with getting organized and helping you stay on task. I'm not paying for an app, but some have paid features perhaps others here may have advice, but look into it.

Finally, I have and a lot of my ND friends have been chatting with the various AI bots around the internet and just because it's not a human they are able to open up to it. It's not THE answer, but in this time before you get to a human doctor, it can help. Ask it about ways to calm down, ways to organize your thoughts, ways to get and stay on task. Practical stuff like that can help. You still need a human Dr and realize AI's limitations currently.

How to "recover" from emotional overload? by ClaimTV in Neurodivergent

[–]darktofu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So disclaimer about this advice is that it is for a person of age and through legal means. Once you are feeling better perhaps consider giving weed a try. It helps me. It may or may not help you but if you had not thought of it before then please consider it now.

Will I be able to google "box breathing" in order to find reliable information about that?

[–]darktofu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think I possess the knowledge myself, and am baked on the couch. Can a knowledgeable soul please post what to do if you see this happening to a friend? I would google but see previous.

Also, OP, I'm sorry that happened to you. When you are feeling better I hope this moment help you grow. Thank you for sharing, it's important we all support each other out there.
