ADHD Gothic: Airport edition ✈️

Love this game 🙃

“Queer' not as being about who you're having sex with (that can be a dimension of it); but 'queer' as being about the self that is at odds with everything around it and that has to invent and create and find a place to speak and to thrive and to live.”
bell hooks

Unfortunately the more therapy I do the less I want to be on twitter, so yay for mental health but sorry for being so absent I guess haha

Is it my calling or am I just hyperfocused on it: Memoirs of an ADHDer

You should #Mask4YourMates because even if you don’t know it, you have disabled and chronically ill friends and whānau.

Not everyone who is #HighRiskCovid19 looks like it, talks about it, or even knows it.

You never know how many ppl you are keeping safe when you mask ☺️✨

Kia ora Aotearoa 👋🏽

Just a wee PSA to say that masking if you can, even if you don’t “have to” is super rad 💜

Your disabled, immune compromised, #HighRiskCovid19 friends are counting on you to keep us safe as our world continues to shrink.

So #Mask4YourMates !

Are you in?

y’all, I mean this in the most genuine, kind, non-judgmental way, but I am begging some of you to please stop assuming that every misstep someone makes is made purposefully and maliciously.

Forcing someone to express only positive emotions can stifle their ability to communicate + make them feel badly abt themselves for having human negative thoughts.

The result is guilt, + stuffing feelings inside, which is dangerous for mental health.

I just inherently don't think it's sustainable to treat each day like a battle to be won against myself. I've got to be my own teammate in it, and to do that I have to start accepting who I actually am.

I know it's not what people want to hear but the best thing I've done for my ADHD is cut myself slack. It's not planners, or medication, or productivity hacks. It's recognizing that the world is hard for me to be in and I need to support myself through it with self-compassion.
