I accidentally put myself in "Waiting Mode"

ghosts [he/him] to neurodiverse • 2 days ago

I've got ADHD and y'know that thing where if you have an appointment or you're expecting a phone call so you just kinda wait around until that time? Like you can't get stuck in to anything else because you're focused on that specific appointment etc.

Yeah

Anyway, I called my dad this morning just to chat as I always do on Sunday morning. He didn't pick up or respond so now I'm just waiting around for a call or something. Like I have other shit I want to do today but I don't want to be at the store when he calls because then I'll call back later and he'll be busy again and it'll be worse lmao

Anyway...just wasting my free day sitting around for a call that may never come instead of enjoying it. Whatch'all up to?

  Seconded. I swear one of the strongest rules I’ve seen in reality is that giving up is the only way many things you are waiting for will finally happen.

What is Neurodivergence?

It's ADHD, Autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, aspd, etc etc etc etc

“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”

So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we're concerned

Rules

1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them

2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence

2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals

3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven't personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you're ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another's, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who's experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm'd.

3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith

4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!
