This feels ridiculous to ask, but could anyone spare $20 or so for a sack of cat litter? Both my housemate and I thought the other person was going to buy it, and we're out of money until next Wednesday, and now out of litter for our 4 cats too. :ablobsigh:​ :catPlay:​

If you can please spare even a little donation towards that, it would prevent a cat mutiny at our house.

Today shall be a strange day because of the fiasco I imagined & the fiasco that is, me being all hollowed out & shaky.
Recovering from the AuDHD equivalent of having 15 rugs being pulled out from underneath you to reveal a long drop... But it's okay if you would only stop bouncing up & down in panic, all over the glass floor which is solid... Honest.

I think I'm back on solid ground but my brain & limbs are not convinced.

AuDHD, the gift that keeps on giving you, freak outs, confusion, unnecessary worry & turning molehills into mountains.

"It’s also super important to be able to check in with your body and/or emotional response during the negotiation process. This can be especially challenging for many neurodivergent people, but something that can help is figuring out What a positive yes feel like to you? And what a comfortable no feel like to you? in a low pressure environment."

accessibility also means giving access to those with ADHD. There ought to be :
- a self-explanatory index
- a TLDR (summary, briefing/debriefing, i.e. Abstracts in scientific papers)
- a tutorial (NOT a full course, but a guide stripped to the bare minimum)
- examples and explanations of them
- clear text/audio/video structure : formatting, highlighting, spacing, categorizing (see first entry)

Too often, none of these are present, and the info is impossible to digest. My brain has nothing to latch onto when attention inevitably falters.

Books, for example, are often featureless walls of text. If at any point the 1-dimensional string of text becomes uninteresting (which happens every 10 seconds or so when it's obtuse and unrewarding to read) I have only 2 options : skipping that part and losing an unknown amount of information, or abandoning. Forcing myself just doesn't work.

Everyone deserves the right to learn. Everyone deserves understanding. Everyone deserves conciseness.

Well, around 02:10, after opening NewPipe, downloading an ambient noise video & the app not giving the option of playback I tried Podcast Addict, the only viable option out of the 3 possible apps it offered for playback.
Okay, let's try for sleep, kill screen as any light just keeps me awake (my eyelids are like tissue paper). Problem, killing screen kills playback 🫩😡.
I'm too tired, will look into what options to tweak in the morning or whenever.

I doze till about 04:30 as I need to roll over to relieve my bones & whatever else is aching. Try getting back to dozing... 30 odd minutes later, my body is deep frying me from the inside 😩.

Okay, I'm awake but I don't like it.
Can't believe how quickly I went thorough my notifications on here, replied to a few & back scrolled Home feed to see what I missed.
...

So now, what do I do?

@vger @sofasophia spannend, wie unterschiedlich das ist! bei mir hat nix gegen adhs geholfen, erst MIT bupropion habe ich eine wirkung von MPH gemerkt - und nehme mittlerweile B plus kinecteen, das eine bessere retardierung liefert. hatte gelesen, dass adhs-autistische menschen häufig/manchmal besser auf adhs-meds ansprechen, wenn B dazukommt. von dem verlängerungsaspekt hatte ich noch gar nx gelesen, danke!

Yay, getting a bit of creative mojo back after a couple of horrible weeks dealing with the fallout of the ADHD assessment. I'm making slow progress with a music project which is key to what I want to do but a complete millstone around my neck. Slow progress is still progress.

Also worked out a way to make an additional pdf booklet of various creative bits that I'll be able to offer as a download.

Ich bastele mir gerade eine Mental Health-Toolbox mit Dingen, die mir helfen, mich zu regulieren, wenn es emotional schwierig ist. Die Anregung dazu habe ich von How To ADHD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49mVKsYPbO4

Eine der Sachen, die mir oft hilft, aus Gefühls- und Gedankenspiralen auszusteigen, ist Programmieren. Jetzt die Frage: Kennt jemand Sammlungen von (eher einfachen) kleinen Programmier-Aufgaben, vorzugsweise in Python?

So as I mentioned in a previous post, today will be my first appointment with a psychiatrist, and I'm a bit nervous about that. But today is also my weekly ttrpg game day. I usually don't get much sleep the night before a game day, although I don't know why exactly. Too excited? 🤷

But as if that wasn't enough, this will be our first game in about a month, so there's more reason to be excited. And we are starting a new game, CthulhuTech, so that's exciting too. And then there's the fact that the character I will be playing will be yet another version of a character I have already rebooted about a half a dozen times already (in various games) because I like him so much, but haven't got to play in years, and he works very well in this setting. I've been hyperfocused on him for weeks now, from his background, to his appearance, the music he plays (because he's a musician on the side), everything.

My point being that with all of this happening today, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that I only got maybe 2 hours of sleep. Technically I don't have to be awake for another hour, but my mind won't stop thinking about things, some related to the game, some not. I guess it's going to be a high-caffeine day.
