tune

Yeah felt that lol
Also I should be able too start one hopefully

Np! If it's easier i can start it too - you use the inbox or envelope on the far right of the screen and type in the person's username to DM them.

I've been here for a little bit I know how to pm people- just sometimes it doesn't work. Lol

Ohhh okay! That's annoying; I haven't PMed anyone for years so i didn't know how it worked until just yesterday! XD

Lmao yeah there's a couple issues sometimes it mainly to do with the username of the person you're trying to PM, but it hasn't bbeen an issue so much lately.

Well I live in Indiana and my doctors are… How do I put this nicely, retarded. So they told me I have both ADD and ADHD so.. Yeah 😅
And then I'm not even sure why they won't tell me what is wrong with me so 🤷‍♀️

Hey Nyx, friendly reminder that you are a moderator. Please do not use slurs towards a marginalized community in a thread about disabilities, or really at all. Slurs have no place here. Thanks

I- wasn't even thinking, thank you for pointing that out ice.

Mhm. Just keep it in mind for next time, okay? We want Notebook to be welcoming and inviting, and using slurs is the opposite of that

Yep I got it, that wasn't very appropriate for me to say that and I apologize.

Hi! I have a physical disability and that is part of my leg being missing, it got very badly damaged in an explosion around this time last year and I had to get it amputated because they couldn’t save it. I now work using a prosthetic leg. I also have a bit of hearing loss in my ears which is likely permanent as ive been told. I also have diagnosed PTSD but compared to the other two, I think that has been around for a few years now for me.
I think its good to have communities like this both in person and online. Hi everyone! I might not respond right away since I’m about to go to bed after posting this.

I also have some PTSD. I am terrified of trampolines now because my dog got his legs stuck in one of the springs, and as i was trying to get him out, he (accidentally) bit my hand. after he was out i literally passed out. It was very tramatic

the ladies are in awe of my tism B)

henlo i'm ash! i have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety, but i'm working on getting diagnosed for ADHD, ADD, DID, OSDD, PTSD, C-PTSD, and Autism (if not more 🫠).

Hi! I have ADHD and a big ol' case of Lupus (aka sometimes everything hurts and I can't get up)

Hi friends! I have diagnosed ADHD, a lil touch of the tism, depression, anxiety, PTSD and paranoia. Technically, only the PTSD/paranoia and ADHD are disabling for me, the rest are just there to party I guess lmao
I also have chronic hip/joint issues, but they aren't disability levels either, just a pain!

A question, is perpetually feeling like a dumb stupid little annoying person a tism-tism or a me-tism

I was recently diagnosed with the PTSD because of past events in my life- which is… Very troubling to me lol.

Ahhh for me thats the anxiety/rejection sensitivity haha
but also probably a tism thing

Sorry to hear that buddy :( PTSD is recent for me too, and not fun

I've dealt with it for a while but never really understood what it was until I talked to my therapist about it and he was like "oh shit bro your fucken traumatized. " 😅 (he didn't actually say it like that but he's kinda silly so eh🤷‍♀️)

ahaha yeah, I feel that. I'd had my therapist prior to the event, so when I got back to her she was like 'so I think we can all collectively agree you're gonna develop ptsd from this' and well, hey! what do you know

I got mine… I think 15 years after the fact so I was pretty messed up and it doesn't help that he's my 4th therapist and we're just now finding this out-

i switched therapists
and it made me realize my old therapist was way better
oops

Admittedly I have never had a therapist before because my situation was never stable enough to seek one, and while I think therapy could be something I attend in my future I don’t think it’s any time soon. At the very least as they say I have come over the first step and that is realizing my problems, and I’ve made some steps to try and cope with it. It’s not much but I want to overcome my problems as hard as they may be. There’s a lot of stuff happening in my country and life right now (Ukrainian) so things are a bit clustered and stressful but I manage.

Also sorry if my writing is hard to understand/mistakes. English was never my first language.
