Ever since I was a little girl I always wanted to get hit by a car in a way that would make me a lot of money
“Mental health isn’t real”
“everybody seems to have ADHD nowadays”
“What are you autistic or something?”
i love that you can gain a small following on this wwebsite just by being unrelentingly insane
people will hear you talk about struggling with mental illness and say “you can do anything if you just put your mind to it”. brother what part of the body does the mental illness happen in. what do you think is the problem
People with psychotic disorders are neurodivergent too.
People with personality disorders are neurodivergent too.
People with substance abuse disorders are neurodivergent too.
People with tic disorders are neurodivergent too.
People with bipolar disorder are neurodivergent too.
People with dissociative disorders are neurodivergent too.
Neurodivergence isn’t just ADHD, autism, anxiety, and depression. (Plus those last two also get left out sometimes!) Neurodivergence is anything that affects your brain.
“Neurodivergent people hate loud noises” is actually just as valid as a statement as “neurodivergent people have delusions,” “neurodivergent people have tics,” or even “neurodivergent people have low empathy.”
Yes! It shouldn’t have to take years and many doctors to get a diagnosis and proper treatment.
My Biggest Frustrations as an Neurodivergent Person

not regular at all reminder that neurodiversity means a lot more than just autism and ADHD
For someone who is tired 100% of the time, I sure am bad at sleeping.
this is the offical ‘i care’ symbol this is how it works: basically you reblog this and your followers know that you care and that they can message you about anything anon or not and you will reply back or at least look at there message. if you care about your followers please reblog

I should really start trying to make friends online again. I never have any luck it sucks. I usually get ghosted or I ghost them because they don’t seem interested in knowing me. 😔
I think my problem is wanting to actually connect with people on a deeper level than they can comprehend lmao
I also don’t come off as interesting bc its text like how am I suppose to not feel anxious about asking personal questions, I talk to much, I’m scared I’ll cross boundaries by asking deep questions, I just don’t want to fuck up. (100% the BPD talking lol)
I can’t tell if being friends with someone who has bpd would be better for me cuz then they’d get it, but also autism
How to tell my parents that i literally can't stim if they can see me because then I get embarrassed and it just makes me feel worse and then I get frustrated

You there! Stop scrolling for a sec and take your daily dose of Webby.
You may now be on your way
The times where you have the same hyperfixation as your friends are the best ones
Hyperfocus can be scary...
Like, you do stuff and do some more and more and just like that hours have passed, you're tired and hungry and thirsty and really have to pee, and when you stand up you get dizzy and all your joints ache and you're like, 'how on earth did I not notice this?'
It's a really weird feeling...
Here's the ADHD Checklist! I finally made it, it's originally from this post. But I've put it in a more easy to read manner.
Requested by: @partykeet I hope this helps!
If you don't know if you have ADHD or not but have an inkling you might, these are important questions to consider when self diagnosing and researching into the disorder!

Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome

Do you have a hard time going to bed?

Do you struggle keeping a consistent sleep schedule over vacation or summer break, even on the weekends?
Inattention(Dissociation) and Hyperfocus
Do you often zone out?
Do you daydream?
Do you get disinterested often?
Do you feel like you can multitask (listen to music and read at the same time)?
Do you get so absorbed in something that when you return to reality, hours have passed by?
Hyperfixation and Emotional Hyperarousal
Do you have “obsessions” or things that feel incredibly pleasurable/taste good when you interact with them?
Do you have a loud mind that runs a thousand miles a minute?
Do you feel overwhelmed or stressed out by your mind?
Do you overthink or overanalyze things?
Is your head really foggy or thoughts blurry?
Working Memory, Inattention and Object Permanence
Do you seem to have memory problems?
Like you cant remember something someone told you to do (homework, chores)?
Or you easily lose things, having it just been there?

Do you constantly fidget, shake your legs, play with parts of things?
Do you feel like if you try to stop fidgeting, you’ll feel an urge to do it more?
Do you have a million phone games?
Do you feel like some games aren’t enough to play on their own but some are too much that you can’t focus on anything else?
"Money Blindness" and Impulsivity
Do you have trouble with money when given control over it?
Do you spend money on things other people find pointless or useless?
Do you have trouble with microtransactions?
Do you feel like when you buy something that you’ll have enough money left for things you need?
Are you often broke? Especially if you claimed that you would save money?
Do you often feel like the consequences of buying something aren't that serious?
Time Blindness

If not, do you have anxiety, and often panic about the time?
Do you often have a hard time keeping a schedule?
Do people say you have poor time management skills, but no matter what you do, you can’t fix it?
Habits, Executive Dysfunction and Disorganization
Do you have poor hygiene?
Do you struggle to remember to brush your teeth?
Is it hard taking a bath/shower? If so, does it take a long time to get into the bath or shower?
If left to your own devices do you wear the same outfit for days?

Do you feel like you’ve ruined everything when someone tells you that you did something wrong?
Do you think you’ve offended people when you haven't?
Do you have a hard time judging reality correctly (like you think you’ve offended or hurt someone and you feel awful but it didn’t bother them that much)?
Disclaimer: Don't say someone who self diagnoses is faking. If you relate to these questions and symptoms, you definitely are not faking. ADHD is a disability that is incredibly hard to manage. People who have it don't like it as they have likely struggled all their life. Being undiagnosed and unmedicated is damaging and traumatizing. Be kind to people, especially if they don't have access to medical help.
