You are still just you. Having a label doesn’t need to define you. It’s the stigma around that diagnosis that you are reacting to. The question is does it make anything make more sense to you? Sending you gentle hugs my friend.

By the way when I am looking for one of my threads I troll through my own profile looking for it or if you can remember the name of it drop the @ symbol and type the name, it should come up. Hope this helps

@Adge 
Just jumping in here to say that you should do some research about it. as the above poster said, its only a label but it does help with knowing how to get the right treatment/therapy etc for it (if needed). 
Being late diagnosed there's probably a lot to shift through (what is the 'disorder' and what is just me etc.) 
I can suggest some youtubers and educational sites if need be.

Hey @Shaz51 and @Adge ,

Good to see you.

@Adge , I've just read your post above. At this time, I hear how lost and confusing things may feel for you.

I wonder if connecting with other neurodivergent folks will be helpful for you? (Of course, when you feel ready).

We're here if you need a chat.

@Shaz51 

The neurodivergence is everywhere. There's some kind of wavelength that we send out to find others of our kind, I swear. 

pssst Mr shaz always had it 😛 its not contagious

Hi @MJG017 I hope your chair arrives soon for you.  Did you order the stand as well, or was that part of the chair. They are so comfortable to sit in.

Hi @MJG017 I now have my meds again and next week the increase commences, so lets hope this helps lift my mood and I can get motivated to do things. I cancelled my next course I wanted to do (they will notify me when they start the next one next year) and my trauma-informed yoga. I just want to concentrate on getting my back right and doing the exercises require to help strengthen it, so I can start to do the every day things like most people. I can't seem to cope with anything extra at the moment.

I had a look on the sight that sells the NRL premiership ring, and the male version is available to pre order, but the woman's ring is not showing up as yet. I have sent them a message asking when it will be available to order. 

I have applied for my super payment so I can afford the necessary therapy for my back and this ring as well as the 4 peat picture is going to be my presents for myself. My Nathan picture is lonely hanging on the wall by itself. Lol

My Retiisi @ENKELI is back 🎉 WOOHOO 🥳 Ring that bell 🔔!

I knew they were your car headlights. Mac and Lenny look fat. I think they ate the muffins you left for me. That French press coffee was delicious 😋 

I have kept myself very busy while your brain 🧠 has been away.

Monday is lawyer day + reorganised and cleaned the work space downstairs. Snake 🐍 season. I don’t want any snakes moving in and getting cozy.

Tuesday landscaping and seeded grass and approved lawyer’s draft letter.

Today had coffee with daughter. Purchased two Silver Dollar eucalyptus trees and two Cousin It plants. 
I do 💚 them.
Went to J’up Men’s Shed this afternoon to use the Thicknesser.

My three Fairy Godtradesmen teased me uncontrollably. Standing there like Mo, Larry and Curly. I stopped what I was doing. Looked straight at the them and said “Nwww You missed me 🤗 I missed you too.”

Tomorrow I got to pay my lawyer 😆 and  finish “Old Mate’s Workbench”.

I’m going to put a coin from this year under l the bench top boards and a little plaque to Old Mate on the front.

Incidentally Jarrah splinters are like getting stuck by a sword :dagger:️ 

I’m so happy to have you back my scrumptious friend 🤗

@Glisten Tomaatti, that was the best welcome back ever!

I can't believe those little furry overlords stole all of the muffins. The coffee would have tasted much better with one or 3 of them. They shall have a talking to next muffin drop. 

I am currently looking at my bank balance and looking at my debts and they don't match naturally. So who do I pay? Mortgage, rates, electricity. I think I'll toss a coin. Given that it looks to be a nice day I want to get into my plants and clean up the patio. I purchased a plant stand that looked good in the pictures but comes in a million pieces - at first I thought it was from Ikea but I checked the box  -

well ei Ikeasta (no, not from Ikea  😁)

I hope your day is going well, you're in my thoughts and prayers regarding lawyer stuff. Not fun at all.

And last but not least -

Hi @Mustang67 

I already have a spot for my egg chair (if it ever comes!) and it will hang from a beam so I didn't worry about a stand, which almost doubled the cost.

It's a pit you have to cancel your course, but it sounds like a good plan to get yourself feeling better as soon as possible.  Take your time and do whatever you feel is best for you.  Hopefully the change in meds helps your mood and you can feel back on top of things, as well as getting your back right.  I probably need to do that as well.

Hopefully they have the women's rings available for preorder soon.  I expect photos of Nathan's new wall partner when you get it 😀  And the ring of course.

Take good care of yourself and hope to see you around here some more again.
