My mom taught me when I was 8 or so. I could only crochet rectangles for the LONGEST time, but I finally figured out how to read patterns! I would like to create my own patterns at some point, but the ADHD is strong lol

I like Lemmy. I think I'll stay here, and I'll wipe my Reddit account soon. It feels strange, but Reddit also feels super hostile now.

I'm so glad to find this here! This was the main sub I was afraid of losing too. I just started EMDR therapy today to start undoing a bunch of the crud I picked up not realizing I was neurodivergent as a child. It'll feel good to still have this outlet for people who get it.

I am absolutely like this! Especially if I'm trying to write, I end up just typing the song lyrics lol. I love music, but I have to be very careful in my selections when I need my focus to be elsewhere.

Yes!! I've watched so many shows and movies I would have never otherwise seen because I can't sit still that long!

This is one of the ones I'm missing! And there was one specifically for preschoolers. But I have a preschooler, so no time for modding lol

It's a wild experience! I just had my first major session yesterday, and I kind of feel like Pandora's box has opened and everything is just rushing out after I so carefully tamped it down for decades. But my therapist is great and spent two sessions working on self care techniques before we started, so I have tools to stay as stable as possible through the process. I'm doing it online.

In short, highly recommended, but be prepared for a mess and make sure you and the therapist click really well!

I have the same mental struggle! It'd be hard to give up my beautiful yard across from a beautiful park, but I also miss being able to get to the grocery store in a timely fashion.

Well I love yarn if you wanna DM that business, lol. Gotta support your habit!

Isn't that the sad truth

Having ADHD is indeed very expensive
