Pretty certain I’m undiagnosed #adhd. I wonder whether my #bipolar meds are helping or hindering… (lamotrigine and sertraline).

"In this clip from their new #comedy special Four Pills, #CameronEsposito discusses their late diagnosis of #bipolar disorder, the childhood signs of it, and how they're the least interesting member of their family."

here's the thing.

most mental disorders are, as far as i know, please correct me if i am wrong, to the largest part genetic.

so. WTF is #RFK planning to do about it??? cloning people?

Its a true honor to have been nominated for the Board of Directors for the Depression and Bipolar Alliance Boston. (DBSA)

I am humbled by the chance to advocate for an often marginalized population of the invisibly disabled.

When my autistic-bipolar brain gets dysregulated, I can listen to music like this to distract me and come back to my center, while playing mahjong.

THE AUTISTIC HERMIT AGAIN...

I don't have much life left to waste on vain dreams, on banal nonsense. I don't want to live my final years asleep, with my mind numb and agitated. Online digital life isn't life. Over the years, you learn that the internet and technology are more of a curse than a means of progress.
I know it's very likely I don't have many years left in this life, and I don't want to spend them scrolling on a screen like a sleepy idiot. The bug-hunting cat is disappearing from online life. I've already closed most of the accounts in its name. For now, I'm only keeping Github accounts and a few platforms I use for programming, but I've changed the usernames on all of them. Besides Mastodon, obviously, I use Instagram for entertainment and because I manage work accounts for some family members.
Of all the things you can do online, I'm sticking with things that involve very little or no social interaction.
And I've thought about going back to teaching at home like I used to.
Basically, this year I've resolved to gradually withdraw from social and online life to a tolerable degree that doesn't overwhelm me or deprive me of the peace my old autistic-bipolar brain needs to function better.
The internet (or rather, social media) is becoming a toxic hellscape that it's best to stay away from.

*This morning*

Psych doc: Any racing thoughts?

Me: Just like the normal inner monologue continuously yapping about whatever.

Doc: That's racing thoughts.

Me: Oooooh, then I have NOT been answering that right for the past decade.

@actuallyautistic
In a few days, I'll be 62, and I have an almost ritualistic custom every year when I complete another orbit around the sun. I consider "New Year's" to be the day one was born. The world began that day; that day was the "Big Bang," the origin of this universe that I am.
Taking stock of my current situation and circumstances, I consider my needs and my vision of life at this moment and I intend to live according to that configuration, which changes every decade, every year, every month, and every day.
This time, I thought it might be interesting to share some of that with the autistic people I come in contact with here, just to share the experience and hope it might be of some use to others. After all, the experiences others have shared online have helped me understand who I am.
