I DID SOMETHING! so for most people this may sound like something basic to do. But I got a haircut. I hate haircuts because I really don't like the change. So that makes my hair grow out alot. So I chose to slowly but surely cut it. Big jump first though. Before and after photos because I am rlly proud of myself for doing this!

Ooh conspiracy theories!

Hey, that looks good!

[ANHlittleinsane girl but gendern't mostly]

Wait just in the case that I’m accidentally intruding—may I join? On top of my own issues I just genuinely like giving others simple words of comfort, and honestly I just want people to chat with about the things I box up that I won’t have to see in the morning. Magic of strangers I guess…I go by Anh!

Does ADHD count? Often we’re (people with ADHD, esp when students or working) told that we aren’t living up to our potential because of the whole inconsistent-work-quality thing (apparently if we’re good at one thing, we have to be good at everything else who invented this idea), and I know for me it’s detrimental to self-esteem. I also have genuinely bad mental health (I’m sorry wdym it’s like oh, I finally no longer actively want myself dead, but I still hate myself?? Where is the logic to this, why is my brain bullying me) but hey I figure I can just Shallan that and ignore and/or create alt personas (the Shallan part’s a joke, so far)

Hi! I have ADHD too. Yeah, the stupidity that is the general perception of how skill should work is really annoying.

OMG YEAH and do you ever feel like people say you're lazy when you're quiet and calm and "think before you act," and "too impulsive and loud," when you're active, and happy? Ugh, I swear we're all just trapped in a cycle of being not enough and too much, and no one maintaining the cycle notices it

YES. I bloody hate it. Violently. I am going to stop there so I don't rant about it for twenty minutes.

And for me since I take meds (one for focusing n stuff like society expectations assimilation, one for focusing like not getting panic attacks) (teehee overstimulation), whenever I am loud, happy, excited, active, energetic, any of those fun things, I was asked sometimes if I forgot my meds. It stopped eventually, but still... There's just this constant push to be "normal," but no one defined "normal," and so far that's been my one wrong question on the vocab section for YEARS

OMG

YES

YOU TOO

The last time I cut my hair was last winter. I had spent two months having little...and then not-so-little...breakdowns every time I had to wash my hair because it took so long with the overstimulation of the noise and the water and the cold and the hairdryer and the small enclosed space and GAH. So I knew I really needed to cut it shorter, for my own sake...but it took a full-on panic attack, hyperventilating on the floor for over an hour, before I finally actually decided to get it cut.
And then another smaller panic session after getting it cut.
So. I get you. Well done.

SHNIOBDVOISDJNDKVL YAY HUGS! Stormlight 5 was EPICCCCCCCCCC. To avoid spoilers anyways --avoiding karma lol--, THANOS REALLY DOES JUST SNAP IN THE LAST PART

Omg but do y'all ever feel like you don't FEEL particularly sad, despondent, hopeless, resentful, or self-loathing, and then there it is, you catch one of those thoughts there and it's like???? but i don't FEEL like that thought?? Like listen ok brain you can be as miserable and self-loathing as you want but it is SCARY to think those things about myself and not emotionally respond in any way. Makes me miss crying, and scratching which also just sucks, cause I don't WANT to miss hurting myself, or feeling generally terrible, but going numb is going to be worse...

i say y'all WAY too much for a new yorker how did this even happen lol...

why is it merging replies what is this huh why am i an old grandma who has to get a 17 year old grandson to use the computer for her what is THIS
