Your brain at 11 PM is not lazy. It’s buffering. Try the 'worry dump' method: write down 3 things you’re dreading tomorrow so your mind can stop running the show. That’s exactly what BrainJoos was built for. 🧠✨

It’s not about forcing sleep; it’s about giving your prefrontal cortex a break from the background tabs it’s been running all day.

      I am just speechless. The Orwellian wording of a ‘minimum wait’ of 2 years before the real clock even begins to even start ticking of getting a diagnosis for and is just spite.

      It’s wrecking kid’s lives. Waiting lists have existed for years, but this is a period of being locked out before you are even on the waiting list.

            I've always drawn these weird doodles since I was at school. I can see now is a part of it, where to keep my mind occupied I would half mindlessly doodle in my school books as a way to try and stay half focused in class. But I kept doing it, and 30 years later I still am. All these drawings, I have never really shown before, but I'm going to here. This is the earliest doodle I have, from September 2001, when the video of planes hitting the towers was on constant rotation.

            Doodle image using biro pen on paper. shows two twin buildings holding a plane. A man sits below them in an armchair holding a mug.

              I have been thinking about and putting off making an appointment with a brand new psychiatrist for months and months and months. I finally made a move with this this week but now I technically have two appointments (the irony) because I had made a decision, booked the appointment, then found a better fit but felt like if I canceled the first before making the second I might never make the second.

The post text reads:
"Being neurodivergent is when everyone is watching you get bullied by someone who is hitting way below the belt, crushing your soul for no reason, and no one steps in. But the minute you defend yourself with something you think is unremarkable yet kinda snarky, the whole crowd turns on you like 'Whoa! Too far! I can't believe you just said that! That's so mean!'"

Context: A widely shared post within neurodivergent (ADHD, autism, etc.) online spaces describing a common double standard in social dynamics, where subtle or systemic provocation against a neurodivergent person is ignored, but their defense or blunt counter-response is heavily policed or socialized as excessive.

                    Anyone know an Android app for timer that's for days? Not specific days, but for things like, "Remind me every 3 days", with reminder at day 3, and a reset button which will restart the timer for 3 days at the button press time, whether that was on day 3 or day 2 or day 10 (more likely lol), preferably with timer saying how many days overdue the stuff is already.

                    Would be very helpful. The timer settings in calendars are too date specific for things like "water the newly planted tree if it hasn't rained in x days" and stuff like that...

                            I'm not sure that dexamphetamine is the right ADHD medication for me. It does let me focus my attention but I'm finding it *really* hard to aim it properly. It's like trying to aim a 600x telescope without a viewfinder. More often than not I end up hyperfocused on procrastinating. Like what I'm doing right now. Maybe it would be good in a business setting where the direction is given from an external source and there are other people to keep you on task.

                              I know there's a bunch of / / neurospicy people on here: anyone have any experience of Auditory Processing Disorder? It's becoming more obvious to me that I'm finding it hard to understand people, particularly in busy environments or when they speak quickly, but I'm aceing all the standard hearing tests so I'm starting to wonder if I have APD. I know there's overlap between neurodivergence and APD, and while I'm not diagnosed with anything it wouldn't surprise me. OTOH it has only started becoming a problem the past few years. Any adjustments which worked for you, experiences getting diagnosed etc., would be helpful to hear. (Ha, ha)

                                      Luova ajattelu ei kuitenkaan perustu pelkkään huomion harhailuun. Myös kyky keskittyä yhteen asiaan on tärkeä, jotta syntyneitä ajatuksia voi työstää ja arvioida.

                                      Luovuuden kannalta olennaista saattaakin olla kyky liikkua joustavasti näiden kahden tilan välillä."

                                      - Olen itse autisminkirjolla ja lisäksi ihan selkeästi se levoton kieppuja kenen keskittymiskyky herpaantuu ulkoisten ärsykkeiden takia, hälinän, melun, valosaasteen, sosiaalisen ahdistuksen, jopa hajujen takia..

                                      Ikäänkuin kaikki suodattimet ja termostaatit puuttuis ja kaikki informaatio virtaa aivoihini suodattamattomina.

                                      Olen yliherkkä. Keho käy yleensä ylikierroksilla.

                                      Valtavan kuluttavaahan se on vaikka olenkin luova ja myös jo todistanut sen moneen kertaan tekemällä ja tuottamalla mielikuvituksellisia, monien ihastelemia tuotoksia.

                                      Koulussa paikoillaan istuminen oli yhtä helvettiä!

                                      Yleensä puhutaan että pojat syrjäytyvät ja pojille pitäis tarjota sitä sun tätäerilaista kuin kilteille ja kärsivällisille tytöille.

                                      Ongelman sukupuolittaminen on meidän "tuhmien tyttöjen" sivuuttamista. Meidät yritetään häivyttää ikäänkuin meitä ei olis lainkaan olemassa.

                                      Minä olisin tarvinnut koulun missä ollaan paljon ulkona, missä opetellaan muualla kuin ahdistavan luokkahuoneen vankina.

                                      Minä vihaan kahleita!

                                      Naiseksi varttuneena se olin minä kuka tuli raskaaksi ja lapsi on valtava kahle. En minä lastani vihannut, mutta vihasin usein sitä saatanan ahdasta äitiyden normia joka oli.

                                      Inhosin kaikkia niitä normiämmiä, joita istui vanhempainilloissa jo päiväkodissa, he ja heidän "täydelliset" lapsensa. Vähä-älyisiä "ihmisiä".

                                      Aniharvoin olen kohdannut ketään ketkä olis samalla aaltopituudella kanssani.

                                      Olen uskaltanut elää erilailla. Olen rakastanut vapauttani niin paöjon etten ole suostunut jatkamaan ihmissuhteita joista on kadonnut idea.

                                      Olen luopunut materiaalisesta onnesta menttaalisen hyvinvoinnin vuoksi. Enkä kyllä edes usko että sitä materiaalista onnea olis olemassa varsinaisesti.

                                      Kauhuviso se on että olis pitänyt jämähtää johonkin valtavan asuntolainan takia, jumittaa parisuhteessa, jossa joutuu teeskenetelmään että jaksaa.. Teeskentelemään työpaikalla että jaksaa, teeskentelemään kaikkialla että jaksaa ja lopulta sitä olis pelkkä ihmisen kuori..

                                      Osaan teeskennellä, osaan maskata. Olen entinen harrastajateatterilainenkin. Estradille ne esitykset sopii, ei ihmisen arkeen.

                                      Tylsämieliset kai kykenee paremmin puuduttavaan, tasapaksuun elämäänsä, missä samat naamat luovat heille saman tyylisen turvan kuin oli lapsuudessa.. Epäitsenäiset ihmiset, ketkä eivät koskaan kasva aikuiseksi.

                                      Eihän sille kukaan mitään itse mahda millaisin aivoin syntyy. Ketään ei voi syyttää, mutta yhteiskunnan pitäisi olla kaikille, ei vain tylsämielisille, tai narsisteille ketkä laativat sääntöjä muille itse niitä noudattamatta.

                                      Läheisriippuvaisissa on myös narsisteja ketkä elävät kaksoiselämää. Salasuhteita, salalapsia, jalkavaimoja..
                                      Sovinistina kaikki vaikuttaa olevan mahdollista. Valehtelemalla valtaan pääsy. Narsitinen muiden manipulointi, kyky puhua muut ympäri..

                                      Onneksi en syntynyt sellaiseksi.
                                      En halua hoviväkeä, en halua kalifiksi kalifin paikalle. Rakastan vapauttani.. ❤️
