Hyperfix-action - Life With ADHD

I have no excuse.

Having sensory issues is weird. Like someone rings the doorbell once and there go my evening plans

Anyone else only in their 20s but feel like they are running out of time to get their life together??

^^^^^^^

Like for example, I'm TERRIFIED of going to the dentist now. Not because their tools spook me, or anyth- well... not ONLY because they spook me... That's not the main reason.

ANYWAYS I'm terrified of going to the dentist now because, 3-4 years ago when my depression got to its worst, I stopped taking care of myself; brushing my teeth being something I quit doing. I'm doing so much better nowadays, don't you worry! Like a year later I came out as transgender and a lot of my issues went away. But... As a creature of habit, it took me a while to get back on track- to pick up good habits and keep them, y'know?

I just started brushing my teeth regularly again last week. And I'm still not all on top of it, despite. Like, 5/7 days I'll remember to brush, and it's always while showering that I remember.

I have to get my wisdom teeth taken out, I remember being told last time I had an appointment. I KNOW I have to go back and get that done before they come in wrong and fuck up my mouth alignment, I know it logically. But I don't want them to see how bad my teeth have gotten; I don't want to learn that I've got a rotting tooth and that I need a root canal, or that I've got 12 different cavities. Which is STUPID, better to stop it and fix it all before it gets worse. But here I am. I haven't been to see the dentist in like 5 years.

Oh god the weather is goddamned stupid. The weather has been super temperamental; one day it's cloudless if a little cold, the next day we get light rains. Day after that it's gorgeous, clear and in the 70's. Day after THAT it's in the low 40's and thunderstorms that last for like a week... It's hell on my joints, and my neck especially.

From one Iowa dweller to another, do you ever just get this feeling the weather's about to turn rough? Because the news says we've got a moderate chance of tornadoes today and I have that feeling that I'm gonna spend 30 minutes in the basement at some point this afternoon.

Yeah, absolutely. I’ve had that sorta…grating sensation on the edges of my nerves all day.
