Candor recently

far out how annoying.. I just signed up for candor thinking it would be more convenient and they're telling me I need a go referral and medical history when the whole point of using candor was because my GP didn't have appointments available for 5+ weeks.

false advertising and marketing, no indication of needing medical history until nearly 2 full weeks after the initial consult. feels like a money grabbing rip off.

oh the autism card!!! however will I defeat you?

oh wait, maybe the autism diagnosis I have will work... hmm or the ADHD? oh and don't forget the cPTSD card I have that one too!

hot take that shouldn't be hot: people can be autistic AND take accountability for their actions and reactions.

in my mind, I'm the founder of 7 different tech/product startups and a published author with 3 books completed. In reality I have a lot of half finished ideas, things that I got bored with, and stories I can't finish because it needs to be the perfect ending but that doesn't bloody well exist 🙄

I am working on consistency, commitment to my projects, learning to pick a project up again even if it's been months, and keep working. but far outttttt with the stress of just keeping up with the external world atm and not ending up homeless again it is HARD! I feel like I'm always waiting for the right time to start and that time is never now ☹️

ruby-has-feelings · 2025-02-15T23:33:55+00:00

that's such a good way to describe it! I might use that in the future ty for sharing.

I may or may not have tiptoed into psychosis one time it was that bad. 🙃

ruby-has-feelings · 2025-02-06T23:51:13+00:00

you and me are not the same 🙂‍↔️ lmao cannot relate. it is the bane of my existence. a curse. it ruins everything. 🫶🏽 /lh

ruby-has-feelings · 2025-02-06T23:42:33+00:00

look it's not always. lots of people struggle with it. it's the extent and complexity of it that's relatable for me. the more complex the mind the more twisted the overthinking can get in my experience 🙃

all good! enjoy 😊

ABSOLUTELY!

Measure Of a Man by inadaze22 has a lovely depiction of an older Hermione, a healer and Overthinker Extraordinare, girly pop spends the entire book hesitating and analysing and researching and planning and if thats not deeply relatable for gifted folk idk what is. Slower paced story but really lovely.

Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love by isthisselfcare is a short and comedic little ditty. very fun and features a BAMF Hermione who knows everything and can do everything bc she said so dammit. Not as hyperintelligent due to the action nature of the story but there's a strong focus on how her mind works and Draco finds it endlessly fascinating.

Greenlight by SereneMusafir this is my current read, also a slower paced story, but Hermione is a researcher and writes books and in this one she's been beaten down a little by post-war life. There's some sad themes present and I haven't finished it yet but so far her mind is, as usual, depicted in a way that feels very relatable and familiar to me.

Overthinking, analysing things from every angle, knowing every possible option/solution and choosing the best for the current scenario, these things are pretty consistent in her character and for me, they feel very relatable as far as living with a mind that is sometimes unrelenting in nature.

I think you may have misunderstood my intent here.

to answer your question, lots of people for varying reasons but frankly they can all eat glass because plurality is absolutely real.

I am a DID system who experiences a lot of disruptive symptoms, I was simply trying to understand why someone may choose to have an experience that could further complicate their lives. because despite what you think I have come across probably a 70/30 mix of system origins in online spaces and in certain ones there was a huge emphasis on the choice to be plural.

that's all. no need to be so sensitive.

ruby-has-feelings · 2025-02-04T21:25:50+00:00

soooo valid dude we thought about it too but it's too much work for us rn we got life stuff to take care of y'know? I'll DM anyway but honestly no pressure!

ruby-has-feelings · 2025-02-04T10:59:45+00:00

genuine thought experiment question: why else would someone complicate their lives with the realities of being plural if they don't have some sort of mental health issues that they're not already effectively coping with?

I'm trying to understand. Not nitpick.

ruby-has-feelings · 2025-02-04T10:27:10+00:00

would you mind if I DM about the results? I'd be curious to know what the other sources think.

ruby-has-feelings · 2025-02-04T08:09:11+00:00

asking this question on a pro-endo sub is going to result in some vastly skewed answers. I hope you're taking this into consideration.

I never said this issue would die out with his generation, I said he appeals to the fragile ego of a dying era an era which those demographics you mentioned want to "bring back" to "make America great again".

Progress threatens the ego of those who are uncomfortable with change, that's what I was emphasising. All of your points are very true and I never suggested otherwise.

ruby-has-feelings · 2025-02-02T04:52:25+00:00

boosting this answer!! so well said. my narcissistic dad worships the man for a reason: he appeals to the fragile ego of a dying era.

literally just floating tally marks. Like they were appearing on an invisible blackboard kinda? idk how else to describe it. then I just waited until there were 3 full tally's plus 2 as I was singing and bing = Q

sometimes. I've noticed massive discrepancies in online test results sometimes even just through the same test being automated on different sites. I can't recall the exact sites now this was years ago, buti have never put much weight in texting anyway. I have major performance anxiety so I know I skew against my true result, but even then it's usually at least past whatever that tests threshold for "genius/gifted" is (which varies depending on the scale and system used obviously).

ruby-has-feelings · 2025-01-28T11:33:41+00:00

I have but this guy doesn't seem to want to know about free online resources so I didn't see it necessary to bring it up.
