I made gingerbread cookies from scratch for the first time ever yesterday!! Today, I’m gonna decorate these little Christmas baddies and then take them to my coworkers tomorrow ✨

The fact I was this moment old when I realized the scene you were in is just shameful.

But it’s just day one and even still, I am making cookies for the first time in years and feel the tiniest bit of in control of my brain for the first time that I can remember.

I really hope that all of this (diagnosis, meds, therapy) are the panacea to my free fall.

And it just might be so.

Cue crying again, because what if between the meds and coping skills work, I get my hobbies back?

What if I am finally able to sit and paint again, sit and write again,

sit and do anything other than be paralyzed by panic and decision fatigue?

And then this morning, I took my first ever dose of Adderall.

When it kicked in, it was like my brain had been tuned for the first time and was finally playing that C-sharp note perfectly.

So I spent yesterday a mess after my appointment.

As one who wants to feel/think/live/process “normal” like everyone (hahahahaghhhh) else.

I learned that ADHD presents in two ways, and boy howdy are both of them present in me.

Cue conversation around medications because literally any and all fit my bill.

Cue crying because my brain is a set of broken dishes in a plastic bag— the whole thing is there but broken af.

My husband and close friends have mused that ya girl is high-key likely to have ADHD for a while now.

So I booked an appointment to be assessed, and that appointment was yesterday.

And btw, if you're belly-aching about Crockett potentially winning the Texas primary you're part of the problem. Let the people nominate who they want to run and take their lumps. You think voters like being constantly told they can't have what they want bc other voters are more important than them?
