My 26 yo self: I'm so happy for them, proud that they feel like it's time to share the truth with the world. I hope they feel freer and lighter, and that we can show our support without invading their privacy and we can prove we got better at respecting their boundaries

The 15 yo version of me that's trapped in the basement:

dnp natal charts nearly took me out. This may be incredibly niche but their charts make SO much sense and I love seeing love and joy and overcoming childhood traumas

Something New

My name is S. I'm a 24 year old, and my pronouns are she/her! This blog isn't new, but this posting format is.

I have diagnosed ADHD, Anxiety, and Depression. I feel as though I have wasted many years being tormented by all three. I am a bad writer, but I am willing to try something new if it means living instead of surviving.

I want to remain anonymous because I want to be honest. I don't expect this blog will gain any attention, and that isn't really the point. My goal is to post daily, if not several times a week (M/W/F) about progression/regressions of having a better relationship with my mental health. I want to treat this as a sort of journal where I can speak honestly about my thoughts and feelings without judgement.

If I write it down, then its a step up from just thinking it, right???

Topics covered

Identification of feelings, and the pathways they follow to expression (as well as the kinds of expressions am using).

Mood fluctuations throughout my day, and if I can identify why I believe they happened then even better.

Where I fall on my panic scale and how/if I was able to calm myself down (I may post my panic scale here for reference)

Any revelations I come concerning my mental health (ex: OMG this specific event triggered something or WOW so THIS is why x leads to y and z happening!)

Medication dosages and their effectiveness

Casual observations about how my day went/is going. I may do this at the start to ease myself into daily journaling.

NOTE: If a post contains sensitive topics then I will do my best to keep them in the tags! Please let me know if I miss something and I will go back and tag it!!

Thank you for reading and writing this post. Thank you for doing even the smallest of things to try and give yourself a better quality of life. Thank you for caring enough to try and foster a sense of inner peace, no matter how fleeting it may be. Looking forward to blue skies.

Hmm? What's this? An anti-voter telling us our votes don't count?

Well! That's quite an opinion! Let's look at their blog, I'm sure we'll see a long history of posts there, showing us that this person is not a bot or a troll account specifically made for election interference?

...Oh?

What's this? Literally only one post?

Oh! But that post is dated to August 2013! Clearly this must be an old blog, it's not like Tumblr has a feature that lets you date posts to anytime you want- oh? They do?

Watch out, y'all - anti-voting bots/trolls are on Tumblr, and they are trying to discourage us from voting. They do this because they know that if we vote blue, we can keep Trump out of office.

In the last few months I have been periodically followed by blogs like this where they have one post that appears to be years old.

Adding some notes here since some people are responding about antacids. You CAN take antacids just avoid taking them at the same time as ADHD meds. Wait like, a couple hours and try to reduce how much your take. If you have chronic acid reflux talk to your doctor about taking some PPIs which don't interact with ADHD meds. Stay safe y'all!

Listen to the sound of wikipedia

This is a way to listen to changes to wikipedia. You are literally listening to knowledge being added to the world.

Pluck sounds are an addition, strings are subtractions, and the pitch says how how big the edit is. My heart shudders at this I love it so much.

[libraford]

This is so relaxing.

Bakugo acted like Deku was completely out of pocket for asking if he hit his head

Like he hadn’t been rubbing the same spot he’d landed on from the moment he got up to the moment Deku asks

Bitch why do you look so surprised??? You’re like 5 and fell from like 15 feet up into a rocky creek bed??

Poor Deku lives in gd crazy town, the kid who told Bakugo to hurry up lives but he shows mild concern about someone’s wellbeing and they bitch about it for the next 10 years

I’m never getting over this, like I’m 24 and if I tripped into a mud puddle in my own driveway whoever I’m with better show some gd concern

[firyfox]

Also the whole “Kacchan we were five” is really a great summary of this because Bakugo really thought that at like FIVE YEARS OLD , little Izuku was secretly conniving and looking down on him , and he also briefly thought that Deku was HIDING his quirk from him this whole time ... Bakugo , buddy , you guys were toddlers . Blonde moment

[softer-ua]

I can almost forgive a 5 year old being paranoid enough to think the nicest person he knows is a great evil in disguise, but to think that Deku who has a muttering problem and obsessively studies quirks some how his one powerful enough to explode his bones??? Insanity

•

Deku: Kacchan is my symbol of victory, he’s a little rude but nonetheless amazing 🥰

Kacchan: I think Deku might be an all powerful immortal being that’s bending time, space, and reality as we know it, and he’s doing it just to fuck with me

Kacchan: I can prove Deku did 9/11 and stopped Jack the Ripper, on the same day
