Hi, I have too! Extra salt, keeping hydrated, compression clothing (particularly socks), sitting down as often as I can, calf pumps (basically lifting your heels off the floor gently a few times in a row to engage your calves) <3

My loop earplugs arrived today

Mind if I try this I’m struggling with my parents

You literally just explained my life lmao... anyway my advice would be 1. Find friends you can trust, or have deeper conversations with the friends you have. I know it sounds like a lot, and it is. I'm in a spot where I only have like 2 close friends and that's really ok with me, so even just one or two is the best I think. Also finding people with similar problems to you helps I think in being more open. Literally all the people I hang out around are neurodivergent to the extreme... 2. Find someone you can talk to about things as you're just going through life - whether it be a parent, a teacher, school counsellor, or therapist. Just having someone older who has wisdom about these things is really helpful. 3. This one is probably most important: Make a list of symptoms you notice that correspond with anything you think you might have. It really helps with the diagnostic process and helps you unmask and helps with self awareness (which is the first step in unmasking). 4. Do some reading about anything you think you might have, this also helps in identifying your symptoms. Also would recommend taking some online tests. 5. Have "safe spaces" where you can try to unmask/stim or do whatever you need to do 6. Talk to an adult about school accommodations for when you get a diagnosis - these have been a lifesaver for me and are the only reason I haven't failed yet (I'm in highschool), I can give suggestions about that if you want. 7. Lastly, take care of your body. Make sure you're eating enough good food and drinking enough water, find a good sleep schedule and find a good active hobby (for good days) like taking a walk or working out or biking or something, and find a couple good passive hobbies (for harder days) like painting/sketching, reading, writing, something creative, idk just something you like doing that's restful. Sorry it's so long, but I hope this helped :)

Hey! So I have ADHD and my biggest hyperfixation is moths!! I’m OBSESSED with the band måneskin and I also loveee monster high, Sanrio, and Taylor Swift!!

What is narcolepsy?

Hi :) Mine are : psychology, neurodivergence and disability rights, random facts, the English language (I'm French), poetry&litterature, the Carry On/Simon Snow book series, the Lucifer series, spirituality, weird animals, guinea pigs, LGBT+ topics, and the list goes on... I also love Chloe Hayden's work, and, thus, Quinni from Heartbreak High ^^

As someone who also has quite dark hair and various different *very* bright hair colors, in my experience you can't get the bright colors without the bleach for a vibrant and long lasting look. If you want something short term to see how you like your hair as a specific color I would 100% recommend hair crayons (crayons specifically no chalk for dark hair) they last until you rinse your hair and show up decently well. On the other hand if you want something more long-lasting but also colorful you have to bleach. Without bleach I have only found that red and blue show up a little but only in super dark shades. If you want some bleaching tips lmk cuz that's a whole other paragraph. Hope this helps <3

I have tics but i havent ever spoken to my parents about it and i try to supress around them.
