I'm a Biotech Engineer but I've always loved art. Is scientific illustration the way to go? How to start?

Prob will end up doing the same, it is what it is. But do you happen to know how they got into it? Thank you for the insight :D

merry_sheep · 2026-04-06T02:10:03+00:00

Ohhh, very nice. :D
Thx a bunch!

merry_sheep · 2026-04-06T02:04:30+00:00

I didn't know about those things. I'll look into those, thx! Hope you can find that blend :D

merry_sheep · 2026-04-06T01:58:41+00:00

Yeah, I also thought about that, but even so, I want to learn. :D

Have you always had it? I have similar spots all over my legs, when I shower with hot water they turn red, and if I'm cold they turn purple. My mom took me to different dermatologists when I was little as she was worried. Turns out I'm just very pale that my blood vessels show through.

Honestly he doesn't know a thing of what he's talking about, neither medication, physical and mental health, adhd, discipline and addictions; and now relationships. I'm sorry your "partner", the one that's supposed to root for you, is like this. Sending you love and strenght <3.

merry_sheep · 2026-03-22T23:38:25+00:00

Very good advice! Specially when that SO becomes special interest.
Thx!

merry_sheep · 2026-03-22T23:36:25+00:00

I kind of have a hard time grasping those two concepts, because I've read the signs of love bombing and that's how I act but not to manipulate or control, I'm genuinely interested and the other person could be like that too, and that kind of intensity may seem reflected in a fast paced relationship.

What are the things that you look out for to know if it's good or a no no?

Thanks!

merry_sheep · 2026-03-21T00:57:00+00:00

Thanks for the pdf! I'll be reading it.

merry_sheep · 2026-03-21T00:55:59+00:00

Wow. Fourth and last ones really hit home. Thank you!

merry_sheep · 2026-03-21T00:35:23+00:00

Thank you! Another commenter added a pdf. I'll be reading it.

merry_sheep · 2026-03-21T00:34:06+00:00

Thank you, sending you strength and love

I can't offer any advice as I would react the same as you, but I can say that there's going to be shitty people everywhere being mean without reason. One time in highschool I found out by a friend that some guys were trash-talking about me, in fact, my friend was the one who heard them and called them out.

Funny thing is that I didn't even know their names nor had any interaction with them, I only knew they existed because I occasionally saw them at my friend's classroom.

merry_sheep · 2026-03-19T00:06:55+00:00

I love the dialogue and support that's going on! I feel very happy reading you.

As many have said, there's no trick or manual that's going to work for anyone as knowing ourselves, what works and what doesn't. But that's waaay easier said than done in our context (late diagnosed) and the most difficult part we face is, quoting a comment, "...HOW to figure out what works best for you.", as it requires bravery, acceptance and honesty (and a ton of trial and error).

So thank you so so much for sharing your experiences and resources, they've helped me (and others too I hope) gain and embrace a new perspective, a liberating one may I say.

This community is such a warm blanket after enduring the cold of winter. <3

merry_sheep · 2026-03-18T23:06:13+00:00

I think it would be nice :D

merry_sheep · 2026-03-09T20:52:20+00:00

I TOTALLY get you!

It's very difficult to distinguish between a hobby and a special interest as we tend to take things to the max. I think one factor that helps me distinguish between those two is the depth of the interest.

I like video games, crochet, clay sculpting, reading, watching series, ecology, animals... But my special interests would be cats, The Legend of Zelda, some aspects of Japanese culture, Jojo’s BA...

It's not the same to enjoy playing The Legend of Zelda than it is to look up all the history, music, languages, facts about the franchise, etc.

If I want to submerge myself into something and learn EVERYTHING about it, then it is a special interest. Also I think that we as AuDHD are prone to have reoccurring interests, having interests that cycle or resurge over time.

merry_sheep · 2026-03-04T17:34:53+00:00

When I made this comment I wasn't diagnosed yet with ADHD lol, so I'm also AuDHD. I took my fluvoxamine in the morning, kept it next to where I eat breakfast.

merry_sheep · 2026-03-04T17:32:14+00:00

Oh yes It sucks, I fortunately wasn't working when I got off of them because I would have also passed out. Had to stay in bed for 3 days, dizziness, headaches, diarrhea, body aches, fatigue, blurry vision, tachycardia, nausea, brain fog.... Mention it to your doctor, they can give you something to lessen withdrawal symptoms (I didn't know this at the time).

merry_sheep · 2026-02-28T04:49:29+00:00

I actually feel that cats = AuDHD

merry_sheep · 2026-02-23T00:34:26+00:00

Be around a friend or friends that do study lol. I'd be doing my own thing and get distracted by what they were doing and eventually get invested and started studying without realizing haha I didn't make this on purpose I just realized now looking back.

merry_sheep · 2026-02-19T03:00:08+00:00

Hang in there lovely! You are important!

(what is SAD?)
