I reflect back on my experience as an AuDHD person and the conversations I had during my group therapy session. Some people felt like they couldn’t fit in as children and were quiet. Or had a hard time making friends. My experience felt a bit polar opposite. I think the ADHD kicked in hard. I…

As women, we often hear it – a female tries to make a change – is assertive and is called difficult. You’re told to sit and listen to men with large egos go off on you and tell you how to do work. If they get emotionally dysregulated – they’re considered charismatic. Women emotionally dysregulated?…

I started my Vyavanse medication today. It felt surprisingly ok at the low dose. My partner noticed some changes where I didn’t linger around getting ready for our outing. I just got ready. It’s hard for me to notice it. Maybe because it’s still a smaller dose? I’m not 100% certain. Taking photos felt somewhat…

I was looking at cooked chicken breast strips at the grocery store the other day. It triggered a bit of a flash back to when I was on paliperidone and trying to make dinner. I had recently learned how to make my partner’s quesadilla recipe in Alberta. It was a yummy quesadilla but that time…

Some workplaces can have toxic masculinity personas that make stupid comments about marginalized people and…

Just when I thought the suicide ideation was gone, it hit today. I’m on a tread mill and these thoughts just don’t leave. It comes in waves. I just want to leave my phone at home and not be found. I’m just done with these games. Like I’m done. What do people want from me.…

Never really thought about the different unspoken rules in different cultures. I do understand that there are differences in English and Polish culture during greetings – one you’re expected to say you’re good and the other says shit’s terrible. Add the fact that a neurodivergent person has to further navigate through these cultures and unspoken…
