#Journal of a Dutch AuDHD Pixy  (Saturday, 28/03/2026).

I didn’t have a too bad night, I even felt a tiny bit rested when I woke up. The scale was still grumpy with me, for not doing any better… I was (am) grumpy with myself for thinking I want to do better, but for failing in all ways to actually do things better… I got dressed, took my meds, packed my bag, and I got to Skoosh so we could skedaddle to the gym.

I checked on some social bits and bops while I was enjoying my protein shake. Then, I got to the recumbent bike. And, again, after some time, my leg started to act up again. Defeated, I headed to the massage chair, hoping that it would help me relax a bit. I switched my shoes after that, and got to Skoosh, to reverse the previous process. 😉

I headed to the couch, relaxed for a few minutes, and then got to the treadmill. I walked for 15 minutes, 1,15km, and then I washed up, and got back to the couch again. I grabbed my laptop, and started writing my journal toot. I worked on my blog a bit as well. After that, I had some food. Then, I hobbled upstairs, and I rode the bike for a short while.

I found some wrapping paper, and I packed the two little gifts I got for a good friend of mine, who had their birthday earlier this week. Then, I got my Kobo, and I finished reading the book “Jupiter’s Bones”, by Faye Kellerman. I started the new book, and read some more. Then, I switched to watching some telly, until it was late enough to start the washing machine. I hung the bits out to dry, and I read a bit in the doggy book that Joke had given to me.

When the weather was getting a bit better, I went outside for a short walk. I still just can’t really enjoy a walk on my own… 😞 I got back, and watched some more telly. Then, I read for a while. The neighbor texted that there would be no walkies, so after a little while, I got ready to head to bed.

It didn’t take me too long to doze off. I woke up once for the loo, and when I woke up again, my body told me it was time to start moving again. According to my watch, I got about 7¾ hours of sleep in, so not too bad at all. I got up, and I started my “day”. Which would be a little bit shorter, as our clocks were changing to DST during this night.

Thanks to all for your kindness and support during my "journey through daily life"  I really appreciate it 💜 as it helps me to keep going on bad/harder days!

This YouTube channel Neurodivergent Insights is one of my current favorites for autism, ADHD, and AuDHD dialogue. They are very clear with their explanations, and even though they are a clinician, they are very much a part of our community.

In this particular video, they use the term "special interest solar systems" to explain how autism and ADHD intersect where autism is predominant. Found that rather fascinating to frame it in this context.

Hey, the neurotypicals are starting to notice that the Doctor is autistic and ADHD!

I really like the illustration on this article as well.

If you get inspired and start on your own spiritual journey, please take heed: lots of grifters out there cashing in people's desperation. Or even, well-meaning teachers who cause damage by making vulnerable people even more so. Those of us socialised women, neurodivergent, queer, we need encouragement to be more assertive, to stand up for ourselves. 1-3

@autistics Rejected by a lawyer for SSDI representation because they don't see me as a winning (or likely winning) case.

SSDI lawyers are only allowed to collect some percentage of back benefits. Of course they gamify the system by representing those most likely to win.

So those of us in-between? With adult diagnosis? Who suffered our whole lives because we have been burning ourselves to survive, slowly destroying ourselves? Who crash and burn once we're diagnosed?

We're not supported.

Fuck me. FML. For real.

Thank you, AuDHD. I have several years until my Social Security Disability Income comes up for review, since I'm not yet of the age to exit the program and become truly retired.

But my lovely brain has decided, day and night, it's time to script it up and consider all the possibilities, including what will happen if I am (incorrectly) judged suitable for the job market.

@autistics @actuallyadhd Anyone find that their info dumping is overstimulating?

It's not a bug. It's a feature. 🤦🏻‍♂️😩

Finally a video that has some explanations for my connection to lonelyness. I have no idea how loneliness feels. I absolutely love solitude. It is the best thing for me.
