every year after you turn 17 you get further away from being the age of the dancing queen and that’s my least favorite thing about growing up
ah but when you turn 34 you’re two dancing queens and thus having twice the time of your life. and at 51 you become the dancing triumvirate and three golden crowns are forged in your honor
yeah can we start including ADHD people in positivity posts please bc it’s a serious disorder that’s in the same category as autism and has many similar or same symptoms. i have seen so many positivity posts that mention personality disorders, autism, depression, and anxiety, but, surprise surprise, leave out ADHD. im so tired
anyways can we start recognizing adhd as an actual and serious disorder that
can affect on functioning in every day life so badly that it interferes with taking care of very basic human needs
is not 10 yrs old white boy exclusive disorder
is not a fake disorder created to benefit medicine companies
definitely should not be reduced to “kid who cant sit still and wont stop screaming” stereotypes because adhd has a whole fuckton of symptoms ranging from serious memory issues to fine motor control difficulties
So I was chatting with this guy and decided to be open about my disorder; I did not tell him what it was and just told him a couple of symptoms and showed him the diagnostic criteria with the name cut off.
He asked me a bunch of informative questions, which I thought was cool since he was willing to learn and then he looked at me and said:
“Haha, I’m glad I didn’t fall in love with you.”
And legit I froze??? I usually never stand up for myself because I’m terrified of rejection but I had completely gotten too angry at that statement. I told him it was insulting to say that and he should apologise but I also figured that was too good for him so I decided to frame it in a way he’d understand
Because with neurotypicals everything has to be framed in a way they can’t just accept the shit they say is unacceptable.
People with borderline personality disorder often want to be loved by someone and want to be in relationships, whether it’s platonically or romantically. Of course keep in mind, not all but some do like every person wants/ And honestly I see my community being one of the most scared when it comes to addressing their feelings and keeping things in check, sometimes it literally feels like we’re in water and trying to gather floating seashells together in a tightly knit bag – sometimes we succeed and sometimes the bag breaks.
And the majority, but not all, of people suffering from a PD often come from abusive homes or abusive relationships, or some other form of trauma that left them craving affection and attention. and the reason we can’t control our emotions is because we were brought up in environments that wouldn’t let us express anything other than fear or complete numbness.
And you tell them to their face that you’re so glad you never fell in love with us, that you’re so happy you dodged that bullet, that you’ve never given a single fucking thought about giving us affection and you assume that this is a laughable statement.
And then when I frame it like this; you’re offended because it makes you look like an asshole? Like do neurotypical not have any decency to think ‘hey this statement is kinda fucked up to say to a person who clearly shared something intimate with me’ – like even if you didn’t know the person has a PD or is completely fine – who the fuck gives you the right to say that to someone????
Do ya’ll have no critical thinking skills to even consider the fact that such a statement may cause someone who has issues with relationships to feel like an unwanted piece of shit???
Do you see that? Looks like a joke image, right? Well, it isn’t.
This happens in Venezuela. It looks like nobody knows how is our crisis, because I’ve talked with a lot of people (Americans, French, Canadian and even Mexican people) who really don’t know what is happening.
I’ll explain the imagen.
In Venezuela, we haven’t medicines, even in the hospitals. This is because a patient with hypoglycemia is being attended in this way, because the hospital don’t have dextrose for the people. This is happening in Caracas, Venezuela’s capital. But not only in Caracas, is confirmed that in Maracaibo too, and who know where too.
Another cases:
“I take prednisone for animals because I can’t found it anywhere and it helps me, isn’t logic, but our health can’t wait”
“Confirmed, I’m medic performing in so many decadency. We even’t have privates places for dextrose for decompensated diabetics and believe me I could write for hours about so many that I’ve lived in the middle of this catastrophic crisis, where personally I’ve take with me a hurted pacient behind of a 350 because we haven’t ambulances, where we haven’t gloves for protect ourselves and a lot of things like that, this is the reality…. It must be give “ORALLY” because the drink is rich in glucose (Sugar) for these pacients this imagen showes [She means the soda imagen] how is conected to a micromanager where it doesn’t looks very good… But it’s valid by an OROGASTRIC probe. As a heroic way, becase like we know “It’s incorrect”.
I even can give my own testomony. My mom is sick, and she must work everyday, I can’t help her because my leg is broken, and my brother must help his own family. She’s in pain everyday, and the money is too hard to found. If there’s money, but there’s no medicine. And, if there’s medicine, there’s no money, because all the treatments are very expensive, like everything, for our inflation on the 1600%.
I’m sorry, guys. Can you help me to spread this? :C I need that people know about Venezuela’s situation. I’m sorry for bother you.
I’d be very interested in seeing more information on this. This sounds like something out of a post-apocalyptic nightmare novel.
Sure thing, my friend!
Since 2014, our crisis is worse with the health zone. There’s no too many medicines, and a lot of operations and treatments are delayed for this same reason.
The hospitals don’t have spaces, litters or beds for the patients.
If you go to a farmacy, there’s no medicine.
A lot of hospitals are in a terrible state.
Supplies that were lacking in public hospitals included sterile gloves and gauze, antiseptics, alcohol for medical use, scalpels, needles, catheters, intravenous solutions, nebulizers and surgical sutures. It was even common to lack basic cleaning supplies (such as bleach), which are essential to ensure a sterile environment in hospitals. Unhealthy conditions have led to in-hospital infections that could have been prevented.
And this is only talking about the health zone.
If we talk about the food shortage and the hyper inflation…
We must do LOOOOOONG lines for hours for buy the basic food. Like flour, sugar, rice, pasta, meat, chicken….
We only can buy one time at the week, for the last number of our ID.
If you search in Google “The next Venezuela”, you’ll see we aren’t a country anymore. We are a level in the shitmeter.
Christ, I’m so sorry. If there are any charities or reputable organizations we can donate to, I’d love to share links to them. ;;
Y’all this shortage of necessities shit had been going on in Venezuela for at least a decade. I have never been able to help because I don’t know what charities are allowed in or out of Venezuela and I don’t trust the people who run those charities to tell the truth.
Please – someone IN Venezuela. Give me a name. A valid website. Something. I will do my damnedest to make something happen, even if it’s just a few families getting fed a few days.
(Love how they voted the fucker out and he’s still in power. Just. So awesome. -_-)
This is the first time I see a post on this site about my country and it breakes my heart… Because I want to give you names of charities so you can actually help us but I know people that tried to donate meds and food but our fucking goverment blocked that help. They refuse to accept aid. They are so fucking sick of power that just don’t care about us.
The only way we have to fight this crisis is through social media, we use twitter to find meds and food and we came up with a few apps like Donamed or Akiztá to help us find what we need.
For the people out there that want to help, like I said… it’s hard to tell you how you could do that because there’s no warranty that we’ll get the help. Still, I won’t let them win so I did my research and I found a few websites that I think you guys can trust and can donate to.
http://comparteporunavida.com/ —> With your donation, this people get formula and nutritional suppliments for children in hospitals and homes in need.
The other sites I could find two gofundme created by people like you and me, I hope they mean well and that the money they receive reaches the people who really need it.
