hellloooooo again sweet beans!!
Added 2022-02-01 18:58:27 +0000 UTCHello my sweets!! I have returned from the depths of...my apartment!
To be entirely honest with you, January wasn't as relaxing as I hoped it would be (I seem to find ways to stress myself out regardless of what I've got going on rip) but! It was at least a little bit relaxing and now I am happy to be back here with y'all! I missed you D:
I've got a reward schedule for this month scribbled into my little notebook -- I'm lowkey trying bullet journaling again? But like the very stripped down basic version. It was a system designed by a dude with ADHD so I'm hoping that by approaching it again from that angle it might be a sustainable planning system after all! we'll see! I've got that schedule written down and Imma do my absolute best to stick to it, but as my rehearsals for this show I'm in start on the 15th, things might get a bit weird towards the end of the month? I'll have Sundays and Mondays off, so chances are the second podcast and the sketchbook tour will be going live on one of those days, haha. And I'll be sending out the majority of the February tangerine mail next week!!
I've got another psych appointment on the 9th of feb, and i'm really hoping and praying that this is the one that gives me the green light to get medicated -- regardless, i've been reading more ADHD management literature/watching some videos and I'm gonna try and get some of those systems in place so that if I have to wait even longer to get proper treatment, at least I'll hopefully be able to manage my life a bit better? maybe???
also, i've been drawing the past few days and actually enjoying myself! what a wild concept!! it happened when we were in san francisco -- i had the sudden desire to draw and i was so happy cause i haven't been excited about drawing in so long, and it just reassured me that my love for drawing isn't dead and gone, just very very sleepy lolol
today and tomorrow i'm catching up on e-mails (the bane of my existence), and then i'm hoping to do some co-working streams on thursday or friday, or !! i've been wanting to film a little fun crochet hat tutorial to get me back into the video making swing? mayhaps >:)
okay i'm reading back through my post and i think i might be over-caffeinated OH WELL y'all are great i love you very much!!!! how have you been? how was your january? please please lemme know, i wanna hear ALLL about it <3 talk soon!!

It seems January was off for many of us. I really hope things work out with your potential medications! You’ve worked so hard on learning about yourself and you deserve it

2022-02-16 04:30:09 +0000 UTCSo glad you're back!! :) January has been a mix of different things for me - managed to squeeze in some traveling + started prepping to study for the GRE for grad school applications (and had terrible meltdowns in the process). I'm glad you're feeling inspired to draw again!

2022-02-03 18:41:28 +0000 UTCOmg I'm so glad your January wasn't totally ass! Also I'm doing the autism assessment stuff which is equally hard as adhd 4 sure, since if u can speak and can make eye contact 4 a few secs at a time u obviously can't be right? Adhd and autism present diff in everybody especially afab people, since no one really has studied how they appear in us. I'm glad ur home! So happy you are back!

2022-02-03 02:30:24 +0000 UTChello Chey, it's lovely to hear an update from you <3 as always take all the time you need with stuff like this! I had a decent January, I passed my probation as a graduate designer at Ubisoft! and I really enjoyed your Creative Pep Talk episode (:

2022-02-02 13:01:05 +0000 UTCHey chickpea 🧡 so nice to have you back! My January was slow, stressful but exciting 🙂 I adopted a cat and she's a little 2 year old pale ginger short-hair and I have named her Peach 🍑 she's the cutest little bean and it feels like she was the missing puzzle piece in my life 💗

2022-02-02 06:09:13 +0000 UTCPlease make a crochet hat tutorial! I recently started crochet and just finished my first hat using a loom. I’m looking forward to learning more! 💖💖

2022-02-02 05:39:27 +0000 UTCI'm so glad to hear art has been feeling good to you recently! it's always so hard to work with things that you love but have complicated relationships with because of expectations of productive outcomes. also, I would love to hear more about the planning system you're using! I do some kind of bullet journal/planner situation but somehow it never occurred to me to look up systems recommended specifically to work with adhd!

2022-02-02 04:45:52 +0000 UTCI'm so glad you took time off for your mental health! My january has been like trudging through 4 foot snowdrifts. My family got covid coupled with super busy workdays. It felt like one bad thing after another...but I'm hoping February will bring some much needed motivation and excitement. I also am trying to set better boundaries between work and personal time!

2022-02-02 04:04:35 +0000 UTCi can’t wait to start my february with you, chey. when i’m connected with people that has the same struggles as me (adhd) i feel more comfortable with myself and that it’s possible to accomplish at least one thing. i’ll start planning my college stuff on notion like you and i’d like to ask you to give us more in depth information about how you organize yourself and how things work for you. i don’t know how things work for me yet. i strongly believe that this month will be amazing for all of us 🤍 wish you guys a lovely week 🕊

2022-02-02 03:44:39 +0000 UTCI’m super happy you are bullet journaling again! I am a strong believer that it can work for anyone and everyone given how flexible it is :) Glad to have you back Chey!

2022-02-01 21:15:16 +0000 UTCHello hello!! I literally have your vlogs playing in the background as I'm working on lesson plans this afternoon. Best of luck with getting back into bullet journaling, and trying to get those brain meds!! This January felt like it was ten years long, but hopefully we can all get our lives together a bit more this month. Sending love to you and Soph!

2022-02-01 20:38:36 +0000 UTCSo happy you're back! We all need a good month off these days I feel 😅Excited to hop in on some co-working streams! ❤️❤️❤️

2022-02-01 20:30:12 +0000 UTChellooo!! I'm back to another college semester and I've actually had a pretty stellar Tuesday. This semester is really busy but I feel like I've got a good idea on how much rest versus work I need and I think that's really helping keep me from getting burnt out.

2022-02-01 20:09:19 +0000 UTCJanuary absolutely FLEW by for me. I've got my fingers crossed for your appointment! Good luck, Chey!

2022-02-01 19:30:21 +0000 UTCWelcome back!!! I definitely missed you but glad you took some time to yourself, even if it wasn’t the most relaxing, but that unfortunately happens :( I hope the bullet journaling turns out well! Remember, it doesn’t have to be pretty! I know that’s something I struggle with so I use a Hobonichi Techo (English Ver.) with a weekly supplement and it’s kind like my all in one :) I use the dailies for journaling and then monthly and weekly for planning 💜 Also! I hope the ADHD treatment hurry’s up for you! I can’t believe how long it takes to get diagnosed! Spending you positive vibes and all the love ❤️

2022-02-01 19:19:36 +0000 UTCHi!! Glad you’re on your way towards better mental health. Proud of you! :) My January was probably in the top 15 worst months of my life, but thanks to those in my support system and prayer, I feel like I’m coming out of it with new perspectives and things learned. Enjoy the show and your drawing! And welcome to the minimal bujo club! It truly is so freeing to give oneself no expectations for how a bujo should function. I wish you the best.

2022-02-01 19:16:26 +0000 UTCaaah so happy you’re back !! sad your january wasn’t as relaxing as you hope though :< my second semester of uni has started and i am already stressed tf out. my adhd assessment came back and because i did well on the tests they gave me and did well in school when i was younger i “couldn’t possibly have adhd” :))) so glad i have to fight that too. hope february treats you well my love. sending all my love to you, connor and sweet soph. 💖

2022-02-01 19:07:05 +0000 UTCHello, it's so good to hear from you! I loved seeing your Insta stories while in San Francisco, I lived there for about 6 months while attending Job Corps on Treasure Island (like a 10-minute bus drive from SF) so seeing your photos made me so nostalgic. I've also had a little burst of creativity lately after a long slumber, it's so nice! & redoing my craft/art area has also really been inspiring.
