Zi, 22. a Mess I am a being of chaos and God blessed me with ADHD, anxiety, and depression bc I’d be too OP otherwise

[spontaneous-splenzi]

recently i found out my psychiatrist diagnosed me with cyclothymia (a type of bipolar i think) at LEAST well over two years ago and just,,, forgot to fuckin tell me lmfao (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

like. this motherfucker just FORGOT to tell me and only mentioned it a month ago bc i was like “hey im planning to do a Bipolar screening w/ my therapist soon want me to tell you my results?”

and this bitch was like “oh you mean like the cyclothymia?”

“what??”

“yea, the cyclothymia we’ve been treating you for with Wellbutrin?”

“????!!” (」゜ロ゜)」

((for context i originally started Wellbutrin at 15 w/ a different doctor for my depression and was told it also was an adhd med- im now 23 and was NOT informed of this development after my current doctor started increasing my Wellbutrin dosage and also prescribed Adderall for my Severe ADHD))

so i now ive started mood stabilizers finally and it’s been interesting haha (≧▽≦)

all this time i thought i was just doing a shit job at managing my depression and adhd w/ my other meds only to find out i was workin with the WRONG information ┐(‘～`;)┌

like. DAMN, dude you couldn’t have told me earlier?? ಠ_ಠ? in his MEAGRE defense he mentioned cyclothymia as a possible diagnosis when we first talked about my Wellbutrin dosage increasing, but never outright stated “yea this is the diagnosis we’re gonna work on treating you for” or “i diagnosed you with cyclothymia”.

our virtual sessions on average are 5-15minutes outside of the initial sessions and usually several months apart, they’re a bit more common with my new meds but that’s not a lotta time for talk outside of “how’re your meds?” lmao- my brother once referred to him as my “legal drug dealer” since that’s his only form of psychiatric help, but i do have an actual therapist so i don’t mind it lol

i do have to laugh about the sheer absurdity of the situation and how i found out about my flavor of bipolar tho- my luck for life is notoriously chaotic and i honestly shouldn’t have expected to find out any other way (〃>ω<)ﾉ ┐(‘～`)┌

I really think everyone needs to truly internalize this:

Fictional characters are objects.

They are not people. You cannot "objectify" them, because they have no personhood to be deprived of. They have no humanity to be erased. You cannot "disrespect" them, because they are not real.

[nope-the-weeb-deactivated202408]

I know this has good intentions, so I will just add the "how you treat them, even as objects of fiction, can speak about your own character, be careful out there"

[prof-grace-aspen]

Your addition is actually completely antithetical to my message. It is literally the opposite of what I am conveying.

Stop telling people to encourage the cop inside their head.

How you treat fictional characters, given they are entirely objects of fiction, does NOT necessarily speak to your own character, and you do not need to be "careful".

It is not dangerous to imagine dark things happening to fictional characters. It does not mean you are secretly a bad person. It does not mean you unconsciously want to hurt people in real life. It is not a "slippery slope" to doing bad things to people in real life. You cannot damage your brain or turn yourself into a bad person by consuming "dark" fanfic.

I can write tentacle noncon of my favorite character all day long and be a fierce anti-sexual assault advocate in real life because what I do in my head is not the same thing as what I do in real life.

Roomba kept crying because she couldn't find her spring toy and uh. Well, she had a good reason for it.

[nattousan]

spring

[followthebluebell]

She's blind, she makes a lot of different sounds, and her poor social skills mean she tries to groom any other cat she bumps into. She doesn't bump into furniture or walls anymore but she used to. Whenever she bumped into something, she'd just turn around and keep going.

pirates of the caribbean really introduced an eldritch octopus man who kills indiscriminately and torments the dead as their poster villain and then you watch the movies and it's like, "oh no, actually the worst villain in this series is a small white british man who functions as the herald of capitalism" and that was very very brave of them

by the way, it’s real bold of hollywood to be like “the writers and actors have unrealistic expectations, but WE know what we’re doing” when they got tricked into releasing morbius in theaters a second time.

i get kidnapped by a rich creep and he does the whole "have dinner with me wearing this specific dress (or die)" thing and i'm like okay lol let's see the dress and it turns out the dress doesn't fit me because the loser just thought he could grab any old low-cut red dress off the rack because he's a man and so i have to explain that there are very very few dresses that actually fit my weird proportions and so we take the fancy dinner to go and spend four hours dress shopping and then sometime around dress #27 i make my daring escape and he doesn't even bother to pursue me because he's so tired of shopping

In the town where I grew up, there was a large statue in one of the parks, of a famous historical white colonizer. I'm not going to say who specifically, suffice it to say that it was someone who wasn't worth memorializing for their deeds. And as you can imagine, this statue was a frequent target of vandalism, with paint or toilet paper or eggs on multiple occasions. Now, the local council was generally pretty lax when it came to repairing potholes or other public damage in the town, but every time, 24 hours after this particular statue was hit, the same person would always appear in a Hi-Vis vest, hat, mask and sunglasses, carrying a bucket of water, and wash it clean. They would do it as quickly as possible, but always made sure the face and the name carved at the bottom were generously scrubbed. This only encouraged people to do it again, and so it became a vicious cycle.

Within a year, the statue had sustained so much damage that it was unrecognizable and the lettering unreadable, so eventually the council came and took it down. Also apparently, the person in the Hi-Vis vest didn't even work for the council. They were supposedly just some 'good samaritan' who cleaned it, often before the council even discovered it needed cleaning, so they just let them do it and ignored the problem. They didn't bother putting the statue up again.

Much later, we found out that the anonymous 'samaritan' had been deliberately washing the statue with a bucket of saltwater, which had dramatically corroded it, causing irreversible accumulative damage far worse than spray paint ever would have done. It's even theorized that they were also often the one spray-painting it, just so that they had an excuse to come back after a day to wash it.

A good samaritan indeed

One of my favorite thing I’ve learned about animals studies is that you should avoid using colorful leg bands when you’re banding birds because you can accidentally completely skew the data because female birds prefer males with colorful bands

Apparently if you put a red band on a male red wing blackbird his harem size can double

So like you can completely frick up the natural reproduction of a group of birds by giving a guy a bracelet so stylish that females CANNOT resist him

[volcanokids]

Me, putting a red bracelet on the leg of a male red wing blackbird: ON GOD we gonna get u some pussy bro

[jordisstigander]

I remember reading a study where researchers realized that female birds of a certain species preferred males with a darker breast. So they created what they literally called a “Super-Sexy Male” by catching a male and coloring his chest with a marker. They then ran dna tests on the eggs in the area.

Previously when the researchers had run these tests, they found a certain amount of infidelity was common for these birds. Somewhere around 10% of eggs were fathered by males who were not the primary mates of females.

After the advent of the Super Sexy Male, however, stuff got crazy in bird world. Infidelity skyrocketed, with upwards of 25% of ALL EGGS in the area being fathered by this specific male. Furthermore, his mate’s eggs were 100% his.

This is just insane to me. Just imagine you’re living your bird life when suddenly somebody scribbles on Dave’s chest and the ladies can’t stop throwing themselves at them. It’s stupid that we theoretically can wreck this kind of havoc on an ecosystem.

Non-autistics living with autistics:

They keep eating the same freaking food and it frustrates me so much! We can't have the "big scary light" on just lamps everywhere! Even when I try to find peace by doing stuff with them they just ignore me and do whatever they want. They can't even do the simplest of things like go with me to the grocery store every week! How do people expect them to survive in society??

Autistics living together:

So as long as we get my 10 packets of this really specific food, and some snacks, I'll be okay. Also is it cool if you go to the grocery store? I can clean the bathroom since thats bad sensory for you and the store is bad sensory for me. Can you turn on the lamp instead of the big light? It gives me a headache. Thanks man. Yea I'll unplug the TV for you since you can hear the high pitched noise. Do you want to do two separate things in the same room as bonding again this evening? Thats my favorite part of the day too.

[disabledprincesses]

I think its funny how much the replies are about The Big Light and how we autistics feel about it
