Getting quite annoyed at how beauty influencers or any social media content creators are using “adhd” as their diagnosis, not saying that they do not have their own struggles but…. you are irrelevant to your own narrative i must say😹 i feel chatgpt is all your doing. its getting a trend and a hot topic.
been quiet cause of this mostly. just know you are unique to your own, just be yourself.

I hope everything gets worked out for you @JanisSPK. 
Influencers = scammers. They are just putting out clickbait to make a few quick bucks. So, if a keyword is trending, as you observed, they will put nonsense about the keyword in their content. People like me who are looking for bona fide help with ADHD get sent all the irrelevant content as a result!
They don’t care in the slightest whether what they are putting out is useful or even truthful. Yes, it is driven by chatGPT, but it is also driven by shady corporate interests paying influencers to propagandize for them.
There are no standards or accountability for them if they just outright lie, and most of them lack the critical thinking skills to even consider whether what someone is “sponsoring” them to say is true, or whether it’s harmful!

I feel sad. I went to see some family last night since some of the group from about an hour away were in town. It felt good to see people and I got some really great Mexican food in the bargain. My family spans US and Mexico nationalities so I am spoiled with homemade Mexican food, lol.
Now I’m alone again and have eaten all the leftovers. Really the food is not so important. It’s more like I see how lonely I am when there’s a short break in my isolation.

…. Which is a good reason for me to avoid social media advice on my psych problems.
The difficulty is that some actual licensed therapists are also using social media to put out healthy content. It’s easier for them because they don’t have to worry about the tech side of website hosting and those costs, but it’s at the expense of the signal to noise ratio degrading.

exhausted. my derealization is at that point where my mind and body are completely disconnected again. i have no real control over how I act, sound or look. It's like all the sensations that you rely on to control your body are numbed to the point that they might as well not even be there.
I've got no other way of explaining this; there's no words to express the state I'm in because nobody's invented any words that convey the absence of something so self-explanatory as the feeling that tells you that you shouldn't be constantly tensing every single muscle in your body to the point that you look like a sentient mannequin.
I can barely even imagine what a normal life is like. there's so many terrible things stacking onto eachother all around me.
I just want peace.

My sister called me from Iran last week. She doesn’t have access to internet and purchased a package to call me with regular cell which was extremely expensive. She said she won’t buy it again and I assured her it’s fine even if it takes months I am in a safe country and doing ok and that they should be concerned with protecting themselves. The last minute she got a reminder that the call is coming to an end and it was the most painful minute of my life. I told her and my parents to tape the windows, stay away from banks and take care of our kitty.
And it aches me that they are there, hopeful that this military intervention will set them free, the internet shut down so their voices won’t be heard and many people around the world are still skeptical that actual Iranians inside Iran really want this….. My heart hurts for my opressed people
