@icedchai: that sounds exciting to move across the country.
We've been stuck in the same state tho i don't think we'll ever move out of this state
as my grandma is closeby and she has helped my family through a lot of our struggles when no one else would.

we just need to find a place that is nice and not in a bad place and not asking for wild numbers of income for just renting.

@icedchai: As my sister would say, If I didn't have it then what else could it be?
I have too many of the symptoms of ADHD to say that's not it.
So i am sure it is and it would explain so much of my behavior growing up and into adulthood.

Oh no i'm so sorry. I know that's got to be rough.
My sister has a panic disorder so I know of panic attacks. I hope you feel better soon.
Yeah I get that. maybe a few days ago to a week i just felt useless. like why can't i do this? why can't i just be normal??
I hate days like those. they're always so hard to deal with my emotions then.

Yesss that's a very good point! I totally get the perfectionist part. I'm the same way.
Send pictures if you guys end up adopting a cute little furball!

We unfortunately can't until we move. But some of my dad's friends are helping us find a place
and keeping their eyes opened for a potential good one.

@danielle: September seems like it was not a good month for either for us.
Since September was also when things just got really bad.
Sorry to hear about the ending of a relationship. That's always hard.

@blue: I can't really take photos with my phone as my phone is such poor quality it just comes out blurry XD
so i can't actually see the photos well. and not good lighting.
I'm supposed to get a new phone, just no clue when. XD

For the meantime, i'm just working on shapes and studying photos online as that's all I can really do.
For me, since i got my new books It's been helping me a ton to learn the muscle and bone structure. It's not an in-depth about it.
But it helps with simple shapes so I am understanding a lot more as tutorials, and any other resource online didn't do anything for me.

@icedchai: Yeah! I always felt i was not like other kids and even adults. My thinking process was different
and i just could not do things normally like basic chores and i just had assumed i was just lazy until October of last year and all this ADHD stuff came up for me and the more i read things about it i was like "oh wow...this definitely sounds like me"
especially with my forgetfulness, and a whole list of other stuff

For now only my sister, my friend and dad are the only ones i know. Maybe one day I'll let my grandma know as she's the type to try to help wherever she can. But she is busy with helping my sister's condition and I'm not in dire need of help.

I'm still learning mine, so im unsure about mine still and how it works and just journaling what symptoms I have in a notebook that way I can understand what mine is and cope with it. I feel mine went invisible a lot my whole life just because i coped with it by drawing or writing.

They really are! I want to have a litle fluff buddy to help me through my really hard days when i can't even do anything. It would just be so nice.

@icedchai: Really!? That's kind of cool! Not that we have adhd cause i know how hard it is.
But also kinda interesting since I always feel bad when i bring it up cause i often feel like i'm gonna be invalidated
*has invalidating relatives*

Yeah! Like one day i just kinda snapped myself out of my funk and decided "i'm gonna get organized"
because i just feel like people don't believe that i struggle hard and just think im lazy which i'm not.
even my sister when i told her "i have a high chance of having adhd" she was like "you know that makes a lot of sense"
since she told me i was never lazy but i struggled to clean my room as a kid up until adulthood.

I'm so sorry your dad was not super supportive in the beginning. But very glad he came and apologized to you.
I have only told my sister and my dad. But my dad often forgets XD cause with his upbringing there were just smart kids and not so smart kids. Which i guess was like a generation thing. However, he was told as a child not great things as was I so there may even be a chance he has it.

But i have relatives who if i told them would invalidate i have it and treat me unkindly. so I just tell my immediate family.

Aww. I can totally relate. Tho i never had a cat but my dad had one and i've been around cats before.
Tho i think we need one to heal from stuff that happened that was very emotionally traumatizing for us.
and I think it will help my whole family as most of us have depression and anxiety.

I understand being in a better place financially. We definitely are working on that.
Since we want to move but also move into a place that allows cats.

@danielle: Thank you.
recently not great. But im starting to feel a bit more like myself and a lot better since been through a lot
the last couple of months.
How about you?

@icedchai: I am currently not on meds, and not even diagnosed just because i can't afford it at all.
But i am 99% sure i do indeed have it and have had it since i was maybe 5 or 6.

But i don't think i want to get on medication and mostly just want to learn ways to cope with it better.
mostly want a cat as a emotional support animal for my depression.

LOL oh boy i can imagine.
But at least you got a whole lot done.

I have such a hard time just even drawing when i want to draw lol.
but my sister is working hard to help accommodate me a bit more since my dad does not fully understand it.
tho i feel an organized desk might help with mine as weird as that sounds XD

@icedchai: Lol i see. We only have one plant in our house but no idea what it is
as i think it's from my sister when she was in school and it's been with us for years lol

It's hard to keep the place clean from dust.
We want to move into a bit of a smaller place so the cleaning won't be as tedious.
And well...things actually get fixed and allow pets so we can get a cat.

I like to organize but because of my ADHD it makes it very hard for me to actually do it
most days unless i end up hyper focusing on it for hours.

@icedchai: Ooo nice. I don't know too much about plants.
Tho i really want so many succulents.

Lately i've just been cleaning my desk, i cleaned it...maybe a week ago and oh boy...FILTHY.
i live in a place that gets dusty very easily.
I still need to clean the shelves on my desk and go through the drawers and get rid and organize of things.

@icedchai: Yeah! right now im forced to work in bed just because its the only place i can work
until i feel happy enough to work at my desk.

It might take a while since my desktop is going to be taking me ages. It's out of budget right now
but i cannot wait until I can afford it.

I definitely will be posting pics for it!
tho unsure if we'll be moving anytime soon as we want to move to a place with better insulation and someone
who will do their job lol

@icedchai: I'm not sure on the theme yet, but i want it to be cute.
I was going to buy this type writer looking keyboard of this character i thought was cute.
He's from BT21 collection and his keyboard is yellow.
and yellow is my fave color, so maybe pastel yellow will be a theme.

I was also eventually going to get some succulents. I found a planter pot that's shaped like a bat on etsy, and maybe some figurines i like.
That's all I have in mind right now.

I mostly just want to make it look very neat, but also very cute so that i enjoy just working there.
and make it overall into a place where i enjoy to work as I am a freelance artist. Or working towards that.

@icedchai: Eventually I'm saving up to replace my laptop or at least
move to a all in one desktop for most of my art work.

I want to make it very cute because i don't really like how any of my room looks and i want to at least
make my desk cute so i'll be really excited to make art and make it a comfortable environment for me.

Right now it's just cluttered with things I don't actually need or use.
So i've just been cleaning it and organizing what I can as eventually i would like to get a different desk.
my current desk is actually too short for me. as I am tall, so even when i sit down the drawer where the keyboard goes
doesn't leave much room for my legs.
