I'm supposed to do a very important scary thing soon but my legs are fucking toast and I think it was from exercising beyond my capacity??? But it's so weird because my hammies don't feel sore, morelike the achey muscle feeling when you're sick, but its only my hamstrings and glutes. I hope I'm not getting sick and that the aches go away so that I can do the thing! screm-aaaaa

Thats still so weird, psychologists and even LCSW's can diagnose ADHD... But they may have to have specific training in that. It might vary state to state, maybe. Thats hella frustrating though I'm sorry.

I DO know that for insurance, practitioners need to give you a specific diagnosis and then create goals and plans to reach those goals based off of those diagnoses. I have had therapists who will diagnose me with something else but work on the ADHD/autism symptoms under the guise of the other DX... So idk if you trust your psych enough to pass that by them?

Why the fuck does a psychologist need you to get an ADHD diagnosis? Its not like they are prescribing medication. That makes me very angry on your behalf I'm sorry

Ahhh I really should've gone to that! Did they play with Rhododendron at the show you went to? They fucking rule as well

Thrice, Finch, Poison the Well, Fall of Troy, The Used, and These Arms Are Snakes were bands I listened to a lot when I was in my Warped Tour era lol. Botch is a bit older but I think they kinda fit. I think Hot Water Music was one too. I don't really qualify that era as emo but I guess that's kinda the closest genre.

Glassjaw fucking slaps they were my faaaavorite for a long time

Those are the worst songs!!! Well, Iron Man and Paranoid are. War Pigs rules though. I love Maiden, so you are forgiven

Thats a good point, hopefully they keep going mask off in that way but after Bernie getting totally fucked over it felt like a lot of people maintained the "vote blue no matter who!" mentality, so I feel like this is just going to be a repeat. I am being hella doomer though, I know.

 

I don't have money to spare right now, but figured I would put this out there. If you are unfamiliar with assistance programs of different types that might be available to you in your city or state, I am happy to help research and compile websites, addresses, phone numbers and program information for you. If you get overwhelmed with making phone calls, I am happy to try to do that for you to get more specific info to see if it would be worth it for you to pursue.

Each city/town/state is different, some have more resources than others, obviously, but I can try to help with finding: Eviction defense/diversion, rental/utility emergency assistance programs, food pantries, clothing closets, supports for people fleeing domestic violence, etc. If you have other needs I can get creative to see if I can find anything that might benefit you in your situation.

I am also happy to try to help people with SSI/SSDI, Medicaid, and SNAP/EBT applications and questions. I have worked doing case management, so I'm decent at navigating social service systems and wanna do whatever I can to help. I specifically assisted with the SSI/SSDI application process so I can probably answer a lot of questions you might have about that process.

Feel free to DM me any time

 

I am FINALLY going to be able to trial Adderall after taking a long break from meds and want to track how I'm doing daily. What do you do so that you can know the meds are having a positive/negative effect? What are the indicators you track?

Worksheets, your own indicators, apps, etc. would by great. I'm leaning towards making my own worksheet but idk what some of the most important things would be to keep track of.

 

It would appear that the moniker was first unveiled by former Fox News star Tucker Carlson weeks before the presidential election, in an off-the-rails speech at a TPUSA event in October.

“Yeah, that’s right. Dad comes home. And he’s pissed. Dad is pissed,” the far-right podcaster blared at the time. “And when dad gets home, you know what he says? ‘You’ve been a bad girl. You’ve been a bad little girl, and you’re getting a vigorous spanking right now. You’re getting a vigorous spanking because you’ve been a bad girl.’ And it has to be this way.”

Since Linux does not seem to work on my laptop (I have spent hours trying to find a fully functioning distro, it doesn't exist yet for Snapdragon), I am curious if there are different things I can do to keep Windows from tracking all of my shit.

I know that's impossible but minimizing it is desirable for me, at least. I don't want CoPilot, I don't want advertisement pop ups, anything like bloatware I fucking hate it, as we all do.

So pls let me know what you do to minimize this shit. Apps, things I should uninstall, settings I should change. If I have step by step instructions I'm not afraid to use command prompts since I got a little bit of experience with that while trying to install Linux.

Thank you all in advance for helping this luddite

 

My friends are trying to get back home to Albuquerque from Portland after having their car broken into and things stolen. If you don't want to donate to the gofundme directly (I think they take a cut), DM me for venmo info and I can forward it to them. Anything helps, $4 is a gallon of gas to get them closer to home.

They are both trans POC traveling alone across the US, I wanna make sure they are safe and don't get stranded

Thanks comrades Care-Comrade

 

I have been having a really tough time with emotional regulation for several months. Every slight irritation feels like fucking nails on chalkboard, where something like buying the wrong thing at the store and not noticing until I get home might make me want to scream and throw things. I don't, but a lot of the time with annoyances I just loudly swear as kind of a pressure release and when it's really bad Ive been white knuckling it so as not to hit myself or throw shit. Normally I just let out a loud "FUCK" or "GOD DAMNIT". Not screaming, but much louder than I talk

My partner is from a normal healthy family so me raising my voice or just exasperatedly saying "fuck", not at him, but at the thing, is really upsetting to him. I don't see the big deal because my mother is a fucking cyclone of screaming and chaos so I'm very tame in comparison. But, I know it's something I need to try to control, I guess, but I feel like I can't. It's just an instinctive reaction, especially when there are a couple mistakes/annoyances stacked on eachother.

Any advice if you struggle with this? I go to therapy and my therapist sucks so thats not helpful right now
