Me: *Growing up and coming to the conclusion that I don’t ever want children*

Me: This is acceptable, it’s a big responsibility… I’m not sure I’d be able to handle that sort of commitment.

Me: *Noticing a very large percentage of women are also in agreement*

Me: This is understandable… the economy is absolute dogshit.

Me: *Gets an adhd diagnosis*

Me: Oh damn, fair…

Me: *Gets an autism diagnosis*

Me: ………. Wait… -What?

Me: *Learns about autistic masking vs autistic camouflage, imposter syndrome, trauma masking, and all of the many reasons a person may reject the idea of having autism*

Me: ……… Jesus, okay yeah…. Understandable, but it still sucks that this is a thing…

Me: *Realises that the true reason I don’t want children is not JUST due to the economy and the responsibility but also due to the fact that children are Loud, Sticky, Stressful, Hands-on, Usually carrying germs, Having big feelings regularly… and all-in-all…. Overstimulating*

Me: ……Oh shit…. Yea that makes sense.

Me: …..

Me: *Stares at the rapidly rising percentage of late diagnosed women*

Me:

Me:

Me:

Me: ……………..……. fam this is making too much sense.

Well I had two doctor appointments today. Had to go in this morning to get blood drawn for testing. Then back this afternoon to get my birth control implant installed and get a pap smear. Also, got my testosterone prescription! 💪🏿🎉🏳️‍⚧️

The numbing injection they used to help install my implant hurt like a fucking bitch! It felt like stinging and burning at the same time. Plus before this I had to pee in a cup to insure I'm not pregnant. Which to me adds to the awkwardness of it.

Then I had to get a pap smear done. So having to spread eagle for a lady you just met yesterday was pretty uncomfortable. As well as the fact that she had trouble finding my cervix. So she had to remove the tool she was using for a bigger one.

Apparently my discharge was a bit yellow so she also had to swab to see if I have a yeast infection. Turns out I'm also anemic, which really explains a lot about my current health concerns. So now I have to take iron pills every other day.

I'm doing the gel from of testosterone. I take two pumps from the bottle a day and apply it to my skin. Then I have to wait for it to dry completely.

Clinical misdiagnosis is more common than self misdiagnosis. Just for the record, in case anyone is still skeptical of self diagnosis :) it’s not up for debate btw

Warning bug + beverage mention

(Not really a trigger warning, I just know it sucks when u get the idea in ur head while Eating or Drinking something.)

When the Autism and Anxiety decide to try and u and trick you with the:

“There’s Bugs in your Coffee…” 🐛🐞🐜🦟 ☕️🫘

But the Adhd and Depression are too tired to give damn so they go:

“F*ck you, Nom-nom, Coffee-flavour Buggi” ✨👌☕️🫘🐞🐛🐜🦟✨

Misbehavior is not a reflection of merit Misbehavior is not a reflection of character Misbehavior is not a reflection of intelligence Misbehavior is not a reflection of work ethic Misbehavior is not a reflection of morals or values

Misbehavior is a reflection of well-being Misbehavior is a reflection of environment Misbehavior is a reflection of power dynamics Misbehavior is a reflection of support systems Misbehavior is a reflection of how someone is treated

“Bad” kids don’t misbehave hurting kids misbehave traumatized kids misbehave abused kids misbehave neglected kids misbehave scared kids misbehave lonely kids misbehave grieving kids misbehave stressed kids misbehave overwhelmed kids misbehave burnt-out kids misbehave

Its not a “tantrum” or a “fit” or a “bad kid” with “unacceptable behavior,” it’s a cry for help

When kids misbehave, stop “punishing” and “disciplining” and “reprimanding” them

When kids misbehave for the love of god just help them

And P.S. this basically applies to adults as well
