School Refusal is Stressful

School Refusal is Stressful

I'm going to preface this right now with homeschool is not an option for me. As an AuDHD person that attempted a form of Crisis Schooling when schools closed it was equally as stressful as trying to convince a school refuser to attend school. I lack the mental energy from complete burnout to try and creatively think of ways to 'unschool' or come up with some kind of learning. I can't drive which limits places we can go for educational reasons, I am completely broke which is another ... Read more

Balders Gate 3 – The Dark Urge Playthrough

Balders Gate 3 – The Dark Urge Playthrough

Committing myself to evil atrocities in my second full playthrough as The Dark Urge origin character was pretty fun and something I really recommend for a second playthrough.

Dungeons and Drama by Kirsty Boyce

Dungeons and Drama by Kirsty Boyce

Riley is loud, assertive and a musical theatre enthusiast trying to save the Spring musical with her best ... Read more

It’s the Little Things

It’s the Little Things

For the longest time I have been trying to figure out a way of getting back to being myself, that I have been just kind of existing in time and space being a parent which hasn't left a lot of time to really focus in on what I love and what fills my cup so to speak. But I am craving it. I miss being creative in those little ways of taking photos of books and trying to improve, of moving my body, of having something interesting to say in those rare and fleeting moments of adult ...

Waiting Mode

Waiting Mode

It's a pretty coming trait amongst ADHDers to have time blindness. The concept of time is unfathomable to me. I sit here writing this having already procrastinated and distracted myself from writing this post several times, knowing I need to be ready to leave the house at 9.10am this morning, knowing how long it takes me to get ready so I've given myself enough time to sort my stuff out. Morning appointments are absolutely better for me, providing I've woken up at a reasonable time, ... Read more
