I find that the more I know I belong in the world the less off I feel, and vice-versa. Working on as many little ways as I can find to be a better, healthier person helps so so much with living, and little things like this help with that.

Thank you.

Thank you. I was just diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 36, and I needed to hear this. Now I just need to believe it. :/

I didn't realize how many other people have this "off" feeling. I understand feeling weird, but "off" has another meaning to me. I thought I was alone.

that is so wrong actually. there are many dangerous quirks humans can have and no, you would not want any of them in your societies.

remember: it's you who need to adapt to society, not the other way round

Me : “” at 51. && Look at you go with all those extra years to find your new path.

I know the challenge of accepting your Dx. If a professional has made that diagnosis, go gentle on yourself and spend your energy with self compassion and understanding instead of fighting it.

You’ve probably spend a good part fighting it anyway right.. so try a new path.

**

I just need to listen to my own advice when I’m not feeling motivated right now with stress and bills and feeling like I am really not capable of the job I used to do 3 months ago. And zero prospects if I can find another job that I can do. I’m too old. To learn new tricks. To be hired. Just spent 3 hours looking at Seek, Jora, indeed and depressed not finding anything that I can do.

Fuck. More CBT hard work to challenge the mental filters.

This unicorn is absolutely about to tell me that I'm not pure of heart then send me away so she can do her "three o'clock posing in front of a rainbow."

Yes. Self compassion is so important. The way I'd put it I've spent my whole life swimming against the current of my own river. Now I'm finally aware of it, I can start swimming in the right direction, without the constant battle with myself to do things the 'correct' or neurotypical way. Hopefully things will get easier, anyway. I wish the best of luck to you as well :)

I started my therapy and even after I am confused if it’s working or not. I guess just starting somewhere is better than not doing anything at all. I am stuck at if I should get meds. But definitely it is very bizarre as you say!

Curious. How did you go about the process of seeking a diagnosis? Or did it come up organically somehow with a doctor? I have suspicions about myself that I'd like to at least get checked out but I don't know where to start.

This is true, except if you're a furry and like dressing up as that unicorn and getting pegged from behind by another similarly-dressed unicorn. In which case please stay in your cave and keep that shit to yourself. Thanks

The mentally unwell need professional interventions such as medication or therapy/psychologist help. Staying away and out of the world isn’t actually an option, it’s a coping mechanism.

Clearly the OPs message was that you belong and are welcome in this world. Not that you are forced to be anywhere.

Are you mentally unwell? Maybe you need help.

Protip: to actually feel like you do belong in the world, do something to “prove your worth.” Exercise, do something creative or productive, work, help others, etc

What if I don't want to belong? What if I'm so disgusted with how the world operates that the thought of being apart of it terrifies me more than anything else?

What if I just desperately don't want anything to do with this world and the people in it?

I’m not who you asked, but I made an appointment with a Neuropsychologist. My insurance didn’t cover it, so I had to pay out of pocket. They assessed me for ADHD, and then I was able to use that diagnosis with a regular MD who prescribed me ADHD medication.

Thank you very much for your reply. I just learned from you that you are able to schedule your own appointments for testing. I was under the assumption that you needed a referral from an MD.

I live in the UK. I started reading more and more and suspecting I had ADHD but the wait list to get assessed is up to two years long on the NHS (our free health service). So I paid to go to a private psychiatrist who specialises in ADHD assessments for adults. Basically the options in this country are... go for the free health service (which is amazing and I'm not knocking our wonderful NHS workers but it's very neglected by the government at the moment and waiting times and services can be very slow)... Or pay a lot of money to go to a private company, but get seen to straight away and you don't need any kind of referral. And now I'm hoping I can take my diagnosis back to my regular NHS doctor and get treated.

I dunno, my particular brand of "off" right now is covid, so I don't think I belong in the world right now. Maybe in a couple days when I'm better.
