In case this info is useful to you (tw)

Persistent depressive disorder: Mild but long-term depression. Also called Dysthymia.

My experience with this:

After a while dysthymia begans to feel like nothing more than an inconvenience. You don’t feel so depressed you’re constantly crying and want to harm yourself, instead, all it is is just an inability to get motivated, inability to focus, inability to keep routines, constantly feeling fatigued and then hating yourself for being thay way.

[languidschizoid]

Can I correct you on a small point?

Persistent Depressive Disorder includes both dysthymia (like you said, mild but long-term) and Chronic Major Depressive Disorder (more severe and also long-term)

It also includes "double depression" (not the official term but w/e) which is dysthymia with major depressive episodes

Hi, I'm making a post about autistics who require more support. I'm autistic, but don't need as much support as I am verbal. I saw you mention that you feel not seen by the autistic community. Could you tell me more about that?

links to writings from before . please to actually read before ask more questions . words are hard . take too much effort too much time please to not push the pixie to write more words if person not even going to read the words . ( this happen so so so much so frustrating . )

if these not answer question , please to ask again . have more words never posted . maybe help understand little bit better .

more specific question much easier for the pixie to answer .

smart autism people have very LOUD and HUGE voices . drown out silent voices when not even try . and . too many smart autism person do try to speak for ( over ) silent autism voices . nobody have time for communication with nonspeaking people .

Oof

My activity has been quite low lately. Not much going on to speak about besides one thing really. Please stop excusing the R word. I don’t care who you are. If you don’t have at least 1 neurological developmental disorder do not fucking use it. You wouldn’t excuse a straight, cisgender person using LGBT slurs, and you wouldn’t excuse a white person saying the N word so why are us disabled people different? I’m really sick of seeing it. Yeah I’ll use the word I’m autistic, have ADHD and tourette’s. Don’t deny me the use of that word just because I told you, a neurotypical person not to use it. People are dumb, and it’s infuriating.

[bravelittletayster-deactivated2]

You not allow use r word either that word start for people with intelectual disability when was call mental r word just cause have autism adhd and Tourette’s not mean allow use it is not your word use

[languidschizoid]

I agree

The R word comes from the old word for intellectual disability (mental R****dation)

Only people with intellectual disabilities should have a say over who uses it

[bravelittletayster-deactivated2]

A other thing make tay know my autism not same most tumblr people is all posts say them think people from shows and stuff am autistic and how come think am and me not care people do that but know autism way different to me cause the ones me know who them talk about just seem like regular people to tay them nothing like me never see think them autistic only tv show people ever see like me am Julia go on Sesame Street cause her not talk lot and her have stuff animal like me have my moose but her actual autistic just never ever see stuff like tay in other shows watch make feel more different sad

[languidschizoid]

yeah, it can be difficult to find representation that fits you

I also don't know any autistic (or neurotypical) characters who are like me. Autism is so diverse, and representation so rare, that I think very few autistic people will be able to find a character just like them

[conways]

something that people really dont understand about ADHD is that we dont “jump from one idea to the next”

we have very fast, very associative minds that connect ideas. we have a train of thought, it just goes WAY faster than yours!

example: im thinking about dogs. that makes me think of pitbulls, which makes me think of an animal planet show i enjoy. the show connects to tv in general, which makes me think of my favorite cartoon. i associate my favorite cartoon with art and animation, and i wind up thinking about shading techniques.

TL;DR: having ADHD is kinda like playing a lifelong game of 7 Degrees of Kevin Bacon

[gazztron]

…WHAT THE FUCK

[daggers-drawn]

I am plagued by this but also that associative learning makes it really easy to be a hyper-generalist in terms of skills and knowledge.

[rptheturk]

This is how my brain works….

[reassambled-dragoon]

The downside is, very few people can keep pace with these jumps, and I’ve actually been told my “mind leaps” are annoying.

Yeah.

Let that sink in.

Being told that the way my mind makes connections between Point A and Point D while seemingly bypassing B and C is “annoying”.

[inyri]

… this.

It drives my husband absolutely NUTS- we’ll be having a conversation and in a lull between sentences I’ll have jumped ahead six topics, pop back in with a “Yeah, and-“

Meanwhile, he’s looking at me like I’ve grown another head. To him, whatever I’ve just said is a total non sequitur, but I can track EXACTLY how I got there… it just doesn’t make any sort of sense to anyone but me.

[ittybittytatertot]

[languidschizoid]

I can't wrap my head around the idea that othet people's minds don't work this way

[bugfluids-deactivated20250511]

americans get this through your fucking heads

[glowbot]

posts about ADHD have no business being 2k words some of us are unmedicated

[menaceexpress]

the adhd impulse to ramble versus the adhd inability to read big blocks of text….. unstoppable force meets immovable object

[f1rstperson]

[dysfunctionalfocus]

I’m kinda mad about this post bc I meant to make this like, months ago but could never find a concsise way to phrase “can’t write concsicely bc adhd” and there it is. Right there lmao

[really-madd]

me connecting song lyrics to the plot of a daydream

[languidschizoid]

oh this is so weird, i do have madd and constantly create very elaborate situations in my head, but i also have aphantasia (5 to sometimes 4 on that chart) and can't really SEE any of it except in very slight blurs i can't hold onto very well, but it's like i FEEL like i've seen it happen and i still have the entire concept of the universe i've created, though when i try to draw anything from it i have a hard time. i think my brain has an easier time attaching to and creating audio than visuals

Is it ok to ask if you have aphantasia?

I've heard similar things from people (i.e. one person) who had both madd and aphantasia

But yeah, every neuronarrator daydreams differently

[doomdaysparas]

me getting confused by the hundreds of plotlines in my paracosm that contradict each other:

[memesforthemad-d]

Neuronarrator ask meme

Answer the questions yourself, or do it with the help of your followers. 💚

A neuronarrator version, because no one else seem to have done it (from what I've seen), and I think it'd do some good to make one of these. For the fun of it, and it may even result in some good advice for some! And remember to only answer questions you're comfortable answering to!!

1. Who was your first ever para? (If you still remember)

2. Do you have any verits?

3. How many paras do you have, and if too many, how many of them are your frequently go-toes?

4. How many paracosms do you have?

5. Who is your favorite para?

16. Are your daydreams easily influenced by events in the real world?

17. How do you daydream? Do they follow any certain patterns? Does it follow a certain plotline, does it jump between paracosms or change between one random scenario to another etc..?

18. Have your daydreaming ever been maladaptive (If your daydreaming is immersive)

19. Are you happy? (I sure hope you are, and it's important to be asked this question once in a while, especially when you feel like you need to daydream to cope!)

20. Can I rant to you about my daydream experience? Whether it be about my struggles, upsides, paras, verits or paracosms?

21. Do you put past or current trauma into your daydreams as a way to cope?

41. Do you make mv's with your paras in them when you daydream to music?

42. Have you ever recovered a para from the past, or lost a para that's been very dear to you, but you still remember?

43. Are your paras in a relationship or single?

44. When did your daydreaming become immersive/maladaptive

45. Do your paras know that they are paras, or that you exist? Or both?

46. What moral alignment would you put your paras in?

47. What species are your paras?

50. What subjects in school did your paras like most, and which ones did they hate?/Which subjects were easy, and which ones were hard.

[heartofdaydreams]

Anyone else not call paras they don't like 'paras'? Para is such a positive word for me so anyone in my daydreams who is a bad guy I just don't refer to as a para. If anyone else does this do you want to coin a term?

[languidschizoid]

when talking about people from my daydreams as a group, i always refer to them as "paras"

But if i talk about one person in particular who is neither very important to me or the story, nor someone i spent a lot of time creating/someone without an actual backstory, i tend to just call them a character

[languidschizoid]

and i am again reminded of why i usually avoid the actuallymadd tag

[godisrealandshessexy-deactivate]

do y'all experience your daydreams from 1st or 3rd person perspective?? or a bit of both?

[languidschizoid]

a bit of both

for most of my life ive had a parame though, and a paraself until i was ~12

The concept of not daydreaming from a 1st person perspective a majority of the time is new to me

[lost-in-madd-daydreams]

As frustrating as MADD is... I could not imagine being on the other side of the population. I can literally conjure up an entire universe and some people can’t even picture an apple
