My gramps gave me the best advice I gonna try and follow .
Here it is ..........
Jaden .Deal with shit when it happens. Don't think about it before or after .
Fck ! That fking hits ! That's it !!!!! That fking simple!!!
Yall can do this you gon be happy af .
My grammpa a genius 👏🏾 🙌🏾
I need a hashtag I can share dis shit wide ???? #mentalhealth#mentalhealthawarenessmonth
@Jaden3 He is right, and we know it. Thinking about what may happen eats up your energy, and afterwards is no use as it happened.
This is how I live too.
High-five to your gramps.
Your grampa is smart! That’s part of Stoic philosophy that Epictetus was talking about thousands of years ago.
I was just sharing that recently with someone who was nervous: if you worry and it doesn’t happen, you worried for nothing. So don’t worry. You can deal with shit when it happens.
#ADHD is not another social media trend. You don’t have ADHD just because you relate to a bunch of IG and TikTok posts.
Please don’t self-diagnose. There are way too many social media accounts posing as experts, spreading misinformation about mental health problems, and overgeneralizing stereotypes.
I urge folks to take the time to learn about this condition and other mental health disorders, get evaluated, and seek support.
My brain's wiring impacts my mental health, sure. Especially in concert with societal expectations.
But I'm not mentally ill because I have ADHD. And self-diagnosis was key to getting an actual diagnosis, because as an adult, no one else is going to speak up for me. I don't have a teacher to notice I am daydreaming all the time or fidgeting in class, and even if I DID, I managed to get through years of education without a teacher or doctor deciding it was an issue, to my huge detriment.

Exactly this. My mental health is by any definition Not Good. (I am a 'properly' diagnosed ADHD person but only in middle age and only because, like everyone, I came to that conclusion myself first.) Almost all my actual mental health issues come from years of struggling undiagnosed and the resulting godawful bootstrapped coping mechanisms. But the ADHD itself is not a form of mental illness.
@kylewritescode Oh... hmm... I see the creamer as essential, but maybe something else could be used. The point is that there has to be a fat source in the drink. The kavalactones (the active ingredient in kava) bind to the fat, and it improves absorption in the body.
If you don't want a creamer, I'd do a search on the Internet. Maybe other people found something else to use.
As someone who suffers from #Depression and #Anxiety, I wholeheartedly understand the importance of #MentalHealth and the need for awareness. Before, I would just brush it off like it was nothing, THAT WAS NOT GOOD. Nor, did it do any good. It was not until I got help, started journaling, talking about my issues, that I started to break free from the darkness. I still have those days, but they are easier to handle.
Also, you don’t need a doctor to diagnose you as Autistic to be Autistic. Modern discourse on Autism mirrors the discourse on Homosexuality in the 1970s. Neurocognitive styles, like sexual orientations, aren’t “conditions.” If you relate to Autistics, you’re probably Autistic. That’s really all there is to it. Same goes for anybody else who’s #NeuroQuestioning 💁🏻♀️♾️
@brucewwenzel oh no. Another one of these posts. Sometimes I feel affinity with people who have either or both of autism or/and ADHD.
Then I tell myself I'm just trying to find reasons for the less good parts of my personality, same as I sometimes look for bodily conditions to explain why I'm overweight.
In the end it's easier just to assume I'm lazy and undisciplined.
