always happy to read/listen to rambles!!! it is indeed such a weird tricky thing, but the medication at least makes managing the ADHD symptoms possible in the first place lol. i’m proud of you too !!!! xx

cheyenne 🌠

heck yeah for body doubling !!! precisely the reason i listen to hours and hours of video essays on youtube hehe πŸ’• be yes, i find simplifying things always helps :o)

cheyenne 🌠

wishing you all the luck on your transfer application <3 and i'm proud of you for trying to make more stuff! ive been pretty secluded lately too, and i'm grateful for rehearsals for finally breaking me out of that haha xx i'm glad i can keep you company!!

cheyenne 🌠

ahhh congrats on your final year of undergrad!! i know it's scary, but you got this >:)

I know I'm crazy late with listening to this, but i love to make them a little special thing. As someone who also became aware of the fact that i might have ADHD around the same time when you were talking about it, and hearing you talk about how it's affected you, and how it resonates so much with me. like all the things. like YES omg and it makes me so sad and so happy that that i'm not alone, and we neurodivergent folks all have to deal with this. but i'm so sorry for your struggles of getting medicated. i went a different route and went with the company ahead for diagnosis and medication, and i am in another state so maybe it's different but i really hope the medication helps! i love hearing about all this, and the youtube you recommended. even on medication, i was told it should reduce the symptom by like, 30% on an average day. so it's never going to be perfect. wow this was very much a ramble, i apologize. anyway thank you for sharing, i know i'm proud of you for doing the things even though it is very hard.

Your ADHD journey hits so close to home for me. I am being treated/medicated for anxiety and depression but in the arduous process of getting prescribed ADHD meds even after my diagnosis.

Excited for you to be back in the theatre world! I googled the name of your play without a second thought, haha, and luckily nothing weird came up, but now that window in Safari on my phone is glitching out and it won’t let me close it, ahhhh. Here’s what I’ve been up to: just finished watching a lovely k-drama called Goblin and now I have post-show sadness, been working from home full time and trying to stay a bit active and cook healthy meals, and that’s it!

Alison Kirby

So many amazing things to be excited about in this one!! Congrats on finally getting your meds! It's really a bit ridiculous how difficult it is to get help for this kind of brain stuff, so happy for you! Also the show sounds incredibly exciting--I'm a stage manager and got to do my first in person show back in the fall (in Ashland actually! though not at OSF) and it really was such an amazing feeling to be back in a room. You're going to rock it!

<3 <3 <3 I've been doing all the art, and trying to not over complicate my to do lists haha. I get so easily overwhelmed, so keeping things simple seems to be helping. also, working along-side streamers and YouTube video's helps so so much with my executive dysfunction. yip yip. learning learning, in this strange neuro-typical, ableist world. all the love to you chey! you got this ;-; you're wonderful!

mystikmisfit

Wow what a WIN that you finally get medication for ADHD!! Feels like you've been waiting for that forever. Big congrats πŸ₯³πŸ₯³πŸ₯³

I've been sucked into Genshin πŸ˜‚ it's great that in enjoying something new but terrible for my other hobbies and interests. Idk how I'm supposed to get better at drawing if I don't make time to draw sigh. I'm looking forward for Horizon Forbidden West to come out and Kirby next month, but now that I'm spending so much time in Genshin I'm not sure how to balance all three. I have started yoga as to try to fit some movement in my life since I sit around too much and I'm enjoying it so far! That's what's going on currently in my life. The only other thing that takes up most of my time is my full time job, which causes me to be stressed I'm not doing a great job at it so yeah πŸ˜…πŸ˜’

Hi! I’m glad you’re doing alright! I’ve been working up the energy to apply for a transfer to a different college when I hopefully end my medical leave. And I’m desperately trying to draw and paint more again. I’ve been very secluded lately because of that but I your kh2 stream and this podcast made me feel happy and less alone so thank you for that. Sending all my love ~ k.t
