Migraines for days…
So, despite my dislike for everything Walmart, I have to pick up my prescriptions there. I should have picked them up last Thursday after school because two of them I was out of come Friday morning. It’s the end of the school year and I could not *deal* with anything Walmart for days. I had…

That’s it! I’m moving to Norway!
So, I got my W2 for my US 2021 taxes near the end of January 2022. I filled out the forms online, but because I couldn’t find/remember my super duper secret and special IRS code, I had to mail in all my state and federal taxes. I did this the first week of February. I…

Is There Really 3Types of ADHD? A Theory…
My theory is that like autism, psychology is trying to subcategorize the heck out of it. My theory is that there aren’t actually 3 types, but one type, and that those of us with adhd are both hyper and inattentive, we just all show it in various degrees, like the traits of autism. This is…

Flipping the Script
As an autistic person I do follow scripts. At work it’s the NT “Hi, how are you?” I reply “Hi, good thanks,” or some very similar variation. What flips my script is when they use my name. “Hi Sara…” and I am left with a long processing time trying to remember the person’s name. This…

So, last Wednesday I had some extensive dental work done. Just a filling, but it was on the back side of a last molar, so very difficult to get to. My jaw was all the way open for the better part of an hour. So, a week later my jaw was still pretty sore. If…

There’s Your Sign…

Sleep, oh how it evades me
I know that I am not the only neurodivergent person to have troubles with sleeping. Our brains are gogogogogo even at night. Even if we are exhausted. When I was younger I wouldn’t crawl into bed until I was thoroughly exhausted or I wouldn’t be able to sleep. As an adult, I tried melatonin, which…

I Could Breathe, But My Body Won’t
I had a an at home sleep study done to test for sleep apnea at the end of December 2021. I had a little dohicky (technical term, I’m sure) strapped to my left index finger for two nights while I slept. I stopped breathing quite a but. I have moderate sleep apnea. They recommended an…

Nice Fit
Being autistic and having ADHD, SSRI antidepressants don’t tend to work well on me. I’m on them for a very short time before I need to increase the dosage. The last one I had maxed out on in 6 months. That was 4-5 years ago. I went off all antidepressants and that worked well for…
