I don’t think I’ve tried to say it out loud in Spanish (native), but I would have probably seen all the 'h’s and gone with something like ‘chuchulu’.

No, definitely. I wasn’t clear enough but using stress as stimulant most of my life has left me with long term physical and mental sequelae.

Glad you’re getting your meds!

Agree about ADHD people needing to find their own stimulation, one way or another. In my case I learned to use stress. It’s my superpower. I can summon a stress response on command, until I just couldn’t turn it off.

So a big reason to take my meds is to try to replace that stress response since it’s making me crash mentally and physically. Even with meds, I spent most of my life not diagnosed, so it’s hard to stop.

Damn I’m so glad I don’t have to care about how much my meds cost.

I’m on elvanse (same as vyvanse) and it’s the best of them so far but I still get plenty of side effects, I’d definitely wish I could just “fix” things instead of taking stimulants.

I was like that but weirdly I was ‘adopted’ into a group where everyone was a good student and it was uncool not to be. It was even the popular people in the class, full of very well-rounded people (they were social, also into sports or music, friends outside of school, etc).

I still stood up as a “nerd” for reasons that felt inexplicable at the time but later made sense as it turned out I’m autistic. I wasn’t as well-rounded as them. I’d hang out with them but I couldn’t wait to do things by myself like being at the library, learning languages and computer stuff and playing games.

I don’t think any of these people talk to each other anymore because all of us grew in separate directions. I have made good friends since. I like the hobbies I got by allowing myself to do what I wanted. I like the opportunities I got from my grades.

I don’t think high school is where you consolidate your friends for the rest of your life. Some people do it, but it’s not a requirement.

I’m on both of those and never got an email, I just tried logging in after a while and it worked.

Thank you for the link, I just started using an RSS reader and this is my first feed!

This is a pretty cool visualization, thanks for sharing!

Also I’m glad I’ve never lived in a grid city, feels off somehow.

Your example is pretty amazing, I have seen your username everywhere, assuming it’s all the same person.

Meanwhile I have a different one per account. Not even trying to hide my identity, I just can’t decide. This is also why I don’t have tattoos.
