Same same. My SO gravitated to a position (producer) that actually allows them to utilize the ADHD traits in their job. Appatently quite a few of the producers in the company have ADHD.

Me, well I come with autistic features among others and the longest I’ve worked in the same place was like 4 years - and that’s because it was related to my special interest and the others working there were spicy as well. Apart from that my work history is just random shit I’ve done for a few months before burning out or part time/gig courier work. I had a 4-day work week at one point and it was great, also what seems like the maximum for me from which I can still recover (if the work is otherwise sustainable). I’m hoping to be a part-time researcher part-time mechanic or something like that in the future, I’d like to think that would balance things out nicely.

I use pickle jars, regular glasses are far too small to hold sufficient amount of water

I didn’t know we had centipedes that would come inside before living in a flat that was half way in a basement. Also didn’t know a colony of silverfish was a thing. Centipedes, who obviously were in for a buffet, were nothing compared to that silvery fishy horror that I discovered rustling under the floor cover of my dog’s food bowls at midnight. Didn’t live there long after that.

Haha, such cool!

This might be of interest.

I take 3 grams of vitamin C, some ibuprofen and zinc for the first symptoms, that often helps. If I get properly sick I drink plenty of ginger & lemon tea and eat berries and something easy like porridge. What helps a lot is rinsing the nasal cavity with warm salt water several times a day, I don’t have a netipot so I just use a drinking bottle or something similar.

Listen to music I was into in my teens & twenties and sing out loud. Cook grub. Clean the flat. Read books on couch and go to sleep early. Probably start a project that will be left unfinished on the table. Enjoy the peace & quiet. Then walk around talking to myself and get annoyed for being lonely and bored.

Judging by the look on its historical face, the bowls must’ve been empty already then

Excited to wake up to a new day, slightly confused, a bit of a hassle going on but there are some friendly faces around and I get to help those people fend off a dragon, everybody seems to be expecting great things of me!

…some months later I’ve lost the track of my life, no idea where I should be going, a long to-do list in the pocked I am sneak-archering through yet another draugr-filled cave, later I go pick up flowers and delivering notes instead of focusing on the big and important goals, what were they anyways? I seem to have ridden on this side path for too long and really need to find direction for my life. Everyone is waiting for me to save the day after all! I’ll just finish this one small thing and get to it –

Be me at 15, obviously depressed, mom: “I’m worried about you hanging out with (my partner at that time), they wear black and are weird, it seems like they are bad company for you!”. Me at 35, still struggling with mental health problems and having recently got an ADHD diagnosis w/ autism traits, been to psychotherapy for 3 years because of trauma-related depression and anxiety, yet mom goes: “it must be the guy you hang around with in your teens!” (And has nothing to do with the trauma of being neglected as a child and raised by undiagnosed neurodivergent parents with their own traumas, as well as having lived with undiagnosed AuDHD and dealing with the consequences).

So damn that weird guy who wore black! I wish I had known better! Also can’t be AuDHD, probably just want to use drugs or something, everyone has those same problems anyways! And they aren’t really problems either, just similar to her “personal traits” or could be that I’m just not trying hard enough!

I just had food in my mouth, thanks

I have a drawer in the garage titled “uncle solutions”, it has a collection of rusted wire, bits of electric wire and similar shit for “quick fixes”. I also just bought me and my SO nordic walking sticks, we still need to get matching trekking suits. Oh and I dream about retiring to a remote cottage and growing my own veggies like proper siberian babushka.

Being ND it feels that my senses are already too much sometimes and they become even more amplified by the amount of stress I experience. Honestly I’d rather have the option to decrease the intensity of sensory experiences than increase it. 😅

There are various factors that increase the risk of course, but according to the doctors for a person this young the exposure is not the reason for getting sick. Epigenetics could be the reason for the increase in young people’s mouth cancers as epigenetic changes in genes can transmit across generations, meaning it’s possible that, for example, environmental exposure that occurred in one generation, could be transmitted even further beyond their children and grandchildren.
