#a diagnosis even

[devondespresso]

bro don't you hate it when you're reading a perfectly normal fic or drabble or whatnot and then it hits you in the most mundanely earth shattering way. i was reading a fic where steve doesn't know what hes doing with his life and his friends are leaving for college and it sent me on an hour long depressive spiral like what the hell man i was having a good day until now

#cursed with the 18 year old knowledge that all my friends have at least a vague plan or ambition theyre gonna try pursuing #and im going to be left behind because I've been graduated and haven't even bought a car #while i have friends who still have half their senior year left who already got accepted into an out of state college #pov i kin steve harrington but thats a red flag #a diagnosis even #no discoverable tags because im sending this into the void with no intention of being perceived #untagged tumblr is my little diary i keep poorly hidden under my bed #im sorry if you read this #devon thinks sometimes

the way people online talk about autism is getting really weird, like do they know that neurotypicals still have interests? that someone being passionate about a hobby doesn't mean they're autistic? you guys know that right

#woof #like self diagnosis is one thing #but saying someone is autistic because they talk about a specific hobby a lot is weird (and waters down the actual definition of autism) #and its no different than saying someone has ocd bc they organize their books alpabetically #or saying someone has ADHD because they got distracted by something #and people who aren't even autistic are honestly getting way too comfortable with autism jokes

so sad that in america the only options after a terminal cancer diagnosis is either to make meth or make saw traps

#peepaws get no peace even after a terminal diagnosis #its the average hospice activity #breaking bad #brba #saw #saw x #sawposting #my posts

hey autistic people who get overwhelmed by large groups or noise or conversation or etc etc etc you’re not evil for wanting to leave a family gathering. just so you know.

#additionally hard when you have no diagnosis #people just think im “antisocial” and “rude” #while im over here completely burnt out #because the whole room is talking and the tv is loud and all the lights are on and every kid in the house is shrieking about something #and whoever you came with(looking at you parents) acts like you’re evil and hate your family when you even ask when you’re leaving #autism #actually autistic #autistic #autism spectrum disorder #autistic things #asd #autistic community #undiagnosed autistic #undiagnosed neurodivergent #undiagnosed autism #neurodiversity #neurodivergent #neurodiverse stuff #neurospicy #neurodivergence #neurodivergencies

AND WHAT IF I CRY RIGHT NOW....................

(Transcript under the cut)

Jimmy: Basically, if someone, Lizzie, or anyone asks him (Joel) to do something and he doesn't want to do it, he doesn't do it. If I ask him to do it, like hang or something, he's always like "Yeah!! Sure let's do it man!!!" — and Lizzie always gets so annoyed? So for example if Lizzie is like, "Hey Joel! You wanna like, play some games tonight?" He goes "Aww nahh I think I got that thing I'm doing bla bla bla bla" and I'd go "Hey Joel you around tonight? wanna hang out play some games or something?" He goes "Yeah!! I think I could with you!! Sure!!!" and like, we're— *shrugs* and when I say he's my babe y'know what I'm saying? He my babe. I'm the one person in this world to convince him to do stuff and hang out. I am the secret weapon.

Btw for anyone who needs to hear it: thinking that people are reading your mind/your thoughts are being heard by everyone is not normal. It's a symptom of psychosis and could be linked to a psychiatric disorder. This, too, goes with hallucinations.

This may seem like a no-brainer, but to teens who don't know what symptoms look like, they may jog it off for a number of reasons. I did, too, when I was in highschool! As a freshman I was having delusions/hallucinations and I didn't tell anyone because I thought they were cringe and weird. I chalked up my hallucinations to me being "tired". People who have psychosis often don't realize that what they're experiencing IS psychosis. This goes the same with other classmates/friends/loved ones. If someone comes to you with concerning behavior (even if they are joking about it) you should take note of it.

In highschool I remember a kid talking about how he could go into the matrix and he had a whole other world to protect/do missions in. He would also go still for long periods of time randomly. I thought he was weird and didn't think much of it, but those are symptoms of schizophrenia (delusions/catatonia).

I would appreciate it if this got a reblog so it could potentially help those recognize these symptoms in either themselves or others!

I wish I could have seen a post like this when I was younger. Then I could have avoided a lot of hardships and would have gotten treatment a lot sooner

#mental health awareness #i know if i saw a post like this on tumblr when i was a teenager it would have helped me out so bad #there are probably a lot of teenagers (and even adults) out there that dont realize what theyre experiencing #then they can get one step closer to a diagnosis and get treatment #it took 7 years for me to even suspect that i had bipolar disorder #i wish i had realized sooner than later that i was experiencing symptoms so i could have avoided a lot of bad experiences #due to episodes

I'm sorry guys but if you are on tumblr and don't know who cecil is you need to go back on history books. He's the blueprint of the sexymen, the og twink, the first eye-motif guy, he ended queerbaiting during a time where queerbaiting or k*ll your gays trope was all the representation we could get. Respect the elder. He threw the first brick

#welcome to night vale #wtnv #wtnv podcast #wtnv cecil #reigen vs cecil #cecil gershwin palmer #cecil sweep #if you hate him cry harder #stop asking me why i censor words #l know this isn't twitter or tiktok and i won't be ended on sight #i have ocd and weird relationship with social media i censor words even irl #please leave me alone #also is not it's bear with me #not saying it in a tiktok way I have a medical diagnosis please leave me alone with this

this disability pride month i wanna give a shout out to the people who 100% KNOW theyre disabled but have to deal with going through the tedious process of getting a proper official diagnosis. especially if youre just barely on the cusp of not quite meeting the diagnostic criteria so they dont want to diagnose you just yet. the ones who have to monitor their symptoms for months, even years, but the symptoms have melded so much in your daily life that its hard to keep track of whats a symptom and whats 'normal'.

i see you. you are strong. you are not overreacting. you are not faking it. you will get through this. you are not alone.

you are your own best advocate and you deserve to be heard.

#dreamy broadcast #disability pride month #actually disabled #chronic illness #chronically ill #neurodivergent #disabled positivity #im going through this right now. because im just out of bounds for a lupus diagnosis even though i have many symptoms that line up with it #all i know is i definitely have an autoimmune disorder

self-proclaimed radical leftists: in the communist utopia that exists only in my head, everyone will work, by which i mean a full-time job in the post-industrial revolution sense. this is because work is obviously the only way one can contribute to society, and everyone who doesn't work is a parasite that will be eradicated in my Communist Utopia™. i don't even care about the products or purpose of people's labour because, as everyone knows, employment equals morality and so having a job is inherently virtuous and not having a job makes you a lazy leech who doesn't deserve to live. trust me, this is a very communist idea. i'm practically an expert because i read 1.5 tweets about marx.

what? omg why are you making this about disability, i was obviously talking about normal people 🙄 if you're disabled, you have an excuse to be a useless waste of resources who can't contribute anything 😊 in my ✨ Communist Utopia ✨, you don't have to work if you're not able to. don't worry, we'll have rigorous and dehumanising tests to determine if you're disabled enough or if you're just a lazy faker! this process is infallible and has no drawbacks whatsoever for disabled people. have you considered that maybe you're the real ableist for criticising me? 🤔 anyway, have i mentioned how much i love employment and also the taste of boot leather

#so many internet 'leftists' are actually just deeply reactionary if you look even a millimeter below the surface #and it clearly shows in their complete refusal to treat disabled people as even remotely human #anyway if someone needs to disclose their diagnosis to you for you to treat them with even a modicum of respect #then you dont respect disabled people at all. period. #just as mocking people for being harmlessly weird is always wrong and not just when you know for a fact theyre autistic #you can't just act like having a job is the only way to contribute to society and then go 'but it's okay if you're disabled' #because you're still saying that we're useless. and going 'okay but you cant help it' is not as supportive as you might think #disability #ableism

having lyrics addressing how mental health is just completely dismissed coupled with all that religious imagery in the staging hits incredibly hard when the cultural mindset in serbia is one of "mental illness isnt real you just need to go to church"

#eurovision #in corpore sano #when i told one of my closest friends about my autism diagnosis her response was #'autism doesnt exist in serbia because we tell ppl to go to church and god helps fix their psyche' #and that 'in the west its different because they dont trust god' #if you have a problem that isnt physical it just means u arent believing in god hard enough #and with how few mental health resources are even available faith kinda does become the only solution #like i shit on england a lot but as an autistic person with adhd and anxiety im SO GLAD i only lived in belgrade for a few years #quasigh

It is still so baffling how much of my life I struggled with, even and especially the little things, are explained by PCOS.

Super hairy? PCOS

Super sweaty like wayyy more than anyone you know? PCOS

Things that my trans friends only first experienced on T that I have known my whole life? PCOS babey

I'm a college student and I only JUST got diagnosed!! And it still hasn't fully sunk in that I am like this because of PCOS! I'm still in the mindset of being biologically cis and being somehow messed up because my whole life I've been so weird and off and "wrong" when I shouldn't be!! Like oh wow they finally figured it out but now I have so many years of pent up angst about my body that now I have to work through accepting it all over again in a new light because the old light I did partially accept it in was wrong, actually

as a certified Diagnosed Autist(TM) i cannot stress enough that i am not only pro- self-diagnosis, but also pretty anti- legal medical diagnosis. it is, at best, a cruel hoop we have to jump through so privileged people will deign to give us what we need. don't fucking do that shit unless you have to, it was disgustingly expensive, fucking humiliating, infantilizing, and dehumanizing, and would probably actively cause problems in my life if i didn't have some really good allistic (-passing) people in my corner and also wasn't so fucking disabled that it mostly doesn't matter.

literally get that diagnosis if you need it for job/school accessibility shit or SSI or whatever, and otherwise dont tell the government SHIT about yourself. there is zero good reason for them to want that information. that's between you and the people you want in your life.

#as a side note: this goes for gender too #dont fucking get a special marker on your passport or whatever #trying to get ssi has made me realize how deeply cruel the system is #never reveal any vulnerability you have unless it's absolutely necessary #do not do this stuff for validation the government is not your friend and you should seek emotional fulfillment elsewhere #hm this post turned out a lot angrier than i meant #guess i'm still mad about how awful the process was #it wasnt even long it was just. so *impersonal.* #this woman talked to me for two hours. went down a fairly bigoted checklist. #didnt ask me my own opinion on much of anything. and then declared a bunch of her impressions as if they hold weight just bc shes allistic #like how i have 'identity issues' (am trans and dont want a romantic partner) #and thats just. my permanent record of diagnosis! this two hour conversation with a stranger! she doesnt fucking know me #we paid like $500 for that

Piggybacking off this post I made last night, but I think two things can be true at once:

Being diagnosed or undiagnosed can both be disadvantages. Neither a state of diagnosis nor undiagnosis can be more "beneficial" because both can be harmful dependent on the situation. We need to be open to the possibility that a diagnosis can be helpful, harmful, a mix, or neither, and not having a diagnosis can also be helpful, harmful, a mix, or neither.

Basically, disability is complex. We live in an ableist world that simultaneously demands disabled people adhere to strict standards but also just not exist in the first place. It's hard enough to navigate diagnosis, and making it harder is only going to harm us, not abled people. They don't care about the intricacies of disability, more often than not.

#disability #disability advocacy #i didn't want that post to come across like diagnosis is INHERENTLY a privilege because it isn't #having a diagnosis can destroy your life in a similar way that not having one can #because what it boils down to is that we live in an ableist world #it isn't the fault of diagnosed people OR undiagnosed people #i was just frusterated about the expectation of having to jump through hoops to please abled people #even if i did get a diagnosis they would then use it to treat me as lesser i imagine #it still does frustrate me though #i just felt like this was a slightly different though related topic if that makes sense

When you finally have access to things like healthcare, therapy, and medication that helps you function and have made a to-do list that includes doing taxes and calling your insurance company and somehow none of it makes you anxious at all. What the HEEEEELLLLLLLL, HOW IS THIS NORMAL????

Where are the very slow tigers that are chasing me??

I'm. I'm not excited about anything on that list but I'm not not excited???? It's just things to do, that I gotta do, and I'm gonna do them because I can? I can!!

I'm making this a good luck post. May you get one big step closer to healing/recovering/getting the proper treatment and diagnoses for whatever is ailing you. Whether that's mental illness, chronic illness, disability, or simply a hardship you have to endure, may good things be on their way to you swiftly ❤️💕

#mental health #chronic illness #disability #positivity #happiness #wellness #good luck #good luck post #but really it hasn't even been a full 2 weeks and i feel like i can just DO the thing #and i haven't even TOUCHED on getting a diagnosis for adhd and barely brought up autism #i know this won't stay exactly the same forever but this feels good and i can't wait to see how well i do with real treatment
