STILL HERE!! More art to come; AuDHD OCD; thoughts on 202...
9 months ago
YOOOOOO so I disappeared for a few months there, post-wise. I'm still lurking! Just gotta sit down and scan / edit more art. :3
My job is still going well! But, as with any new job, I had some rough days. These days in particular, however, led me to realize that I likely have ADHD... along with autism and OCD. As the year progresses, I want to work towards diagnosis(es) and possibly weaning myself off of Zoloft to see if ADHD meds would benefit me more. Turns out, Zoloft can make ADHD symptoms worse! (Fun to learn when you've taken it for over two years, wheeeee!)
I'd begun suspecting that I may have ADHD and / or autism and / or OCD during the past several years. Pandemic introspection and all. I'd told my therapist it felt like I was looking for answers that didn't exist. Yet the more I researched childhood OCD and how autism and ADHD present in girls / AFAB children, I was like: Fuuuuuuuuuck, yeah, that describes my experiences then AND now.
Here we are: 2025. I plan on making more art reflecting how I actually feel about the States' uuuuuuuh everything.

My bestie was also diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood and getting on to meds was life changing for her. Best of luck with your journey!
Ooof it's hard learning about this in adulthood, but I'm glad folks have options for addressing it, like meds. Thank you again! ^__^
Also love your faaaaaaace!
I remember you telling me about Zoloft being difficult to wean off of, so I'm hoping that, with my doctor's direction, I can do it safely and comfortably. :D
