This week is a little crazy study-wise:
Forensic science - ✅ 1 chapter to read, 2-3 page paper on 1 hr video (✅ watched the video), ✅ midterm
Business communications - create 3 graphs from data sets found last week, read 1 chapter
Gender & society - ✅ read 1 chapter, two part final, posttest
Add to the fact that I’ve been driving my wife to her appts, plus getting an epidural in my neck this week. It’s a bit crazy. But I’m chugging along!
I’m so close to being done with my associates degree. I even registered for graduation two days ago!
I had apple slices and brie last night for dinner

autistic life hack if you need your food prepared a specific way and your needs aren't being listened to as an adult, pretend you have an autistic kid you are ordering for as people are more sympathetic to helping autistic caretakers than actual autistic people

I thought this was actual advice to think about it for 27 minutes exactly. My ADHD ass was about to go do it and expect good results.
Me: Time for bed.
Brain: No. Let do [insert activity here] for several hours instead. :)
Me: Okay
ADHD Awareness Month
I want/need to cross stitch again. I basically took a break when I moved and was dealing with depression. I did a small project last month ish and realized how much I missed it. But nothing is organized and my ADHD brain is struggling to find where to start. So I continue gathering and making patterns. I’m also behind in schoolwork so it’s like I’m semi punishing myself but not rewarding myself with cross stitch. Logically I know it would help, but depression brain is also weird.
Anyone else deal with things like that?
I have been struggling with depression lately, but it’s mostly related to my struggles with chronic illness and the lack of support I have from my medical providers. I need to start this aloud so I know that it’s situational and that it’s not my fault.
Also, I need a new therapist who can better acknowledge that it isn’t for my lack of trying. Having a neurotypical and abled therapist is draining and sometimes makes me feel like I’m being gaslit. And that’s not ok.
I’m looking for a new therapist but that takes time and more patience than I can sometimes muster with the US healthcare system and state insurance/Medicaid. Do not recommend the American healthcare experience, 0/10 rating, no stars.
I’m not okay right now and that has to be okay for now.
