Are there zero racoons, weasels, foxes, coyote, wolves, hawks, and other assorted predators around, or are there just so many chickens they overwhelm potential preadators?

Are these the chickens from the Legend of Zelda series?

This is why fat shaming can have tragic consequences.

If this sort of weight-based medical bias happens to any of y'all, politely tell the doctor (during your visit) that you want them to write in your file that they are refusing ordering tests for you because of your current weight. This usually causes them to order the test anyways because they do NOT want a malpractice suit. Remember: You want to make a paper trail to hold them accountable.

remember when writers had to be all like:
“omg omg lemon starts HERE”

y’all are lucky that ao3 has tags and filters you can set

Sometimes shit was marked “lemon” and it’d just be them making out, and sometimes they’d just start pissing on each other

opens box that reads "i wanna draw again". inside lies a note. the note says, "mental illness and difficult circumstances have taken years of interest, accessibility, and skill away from me. i want to forgive myself for that. i want to heal my relationship to my hobbies. i want to feel connected to something that once made me feel good, but the cyclic discouragement is difficult to overcome." i turn over the note. on the back it reads "wannta drawe sexy bodies awooga"

"Oh so we should just eat anything we want??"

Well actually YES but also:

Restricting food Does Stuff To Your Brain. "Restricting" doesn't mean stopping when you're full. I feel like this is what gets misunderstood a lot. It means placing rules and limits on food that supercede what your body is signalling that it wants. Let's use cookies as an example. Restricting would be:

- I can only have cookies when I deserve them.

- I can only have cookies when I'm alone.

- I can only have two cookies.

- I can only have low-calorie cookies.

- I can only have cookies on set days, or so-called cheat days.

- I can't have cookies.

- I can't have cookies in the house.

- I'm bad when I eat cookies.

- Cookies are a bad food and I must compensate for having eaten them.

Whether or not you stick to the restrictions you set, your brain is learning to be an anxious mess around cookies. It might want to avoid anywhere that has cookies. It might feel shame for wanting or eating cookies. It might get exhausted from suppressing the craving and decide to binge. It might go into binge mode every time you eat cookies because you've taught your body that This Will Not Be Available Whenever. It might feel ridiculously important to eat all the cookies while you can.

I know we're all so used to constantly talking about food, diets, weight and bodies, and it's completely normalised to look at absolutely everything you eat and assign it the level of guilt you're gonna feel for eating it, and to brag about not eating this and that, and to announce that you know it's a Naughty Indulgence when you eat anything sweet.

But oh my god, it's such a huge weight off your shoulders to just let yourself eat cookies because you wanted cookies and stop when you feel satiated and know that the cookies will be available next time you want cookies because you don't need to earn them in any way. Because a brain that knows it can have cookies whenever it wants cookies, doesn't crave cookies all the time. Nor does it feel any self-loathing when it does crave cookies.

And I just wish everyone a very chill brain and some cookies

OP, this is fantastic and I thank you, but also if you’re up for it I am curious how this plays into restricting due to allergies and the like. Like… “I can only have ice cream if I have lactose pills or yogurt. If I do not have lactose pills or eat yogurt first, I will be sick.” It is technically a restriction, but it’s not saying you can’t have ice cream, it’s saying “to actually enjoy this thing, you need to do this first so you don’t spend your night regretting your choices in the bathroom.”

So much of the "advice" given to people with ADHD is just like

Step One: Become neurotypical

actualaster

Habit formation part of the brain broken, advice ineffective

frogeyedape

It took me until my twenties to build an actual tooth brushing habit. Years and years of parents hounding me to brush after breakfast & dinner, painful years having to also brush after lunch at school because braces (and mostly not doing it), years & years of 6 weeks managing each night then a long stretch of not brushing at all, years & years of frequent cavities...I had a years-long stretch of good brushing broken by one night being too exhausted to brush & just didn't brush at all for the longest while ever...

I could not tell you what exactly helped me transition, but I can tell you various pieces

• I switched from trying to form a habit (which I feel stressed about doing and guilty if I don't do it or don't do it well) to trying a routine
• Habit vs Routine: EG breakfast as a habit: make exact same meal each morning at same time regardless of hunger/activity/interest, feel bad about changing things up VS breakfast as a set of routines: cereal routine, get bowl, milk, cereal, spoon, pour, eat, take care of dishes; eggs routine: fry/scramble/whatever, eat, dishes; in a rush routine: grab 2 granola bars & a fruit & rush out
• I bundled "habit" tootbrushing into the "going to bed" routine; routine is more flexible than habit & leaves room (and acceptance and no guilt) for adaptation
• So like, standard I'm not exhausted just ordinary going to bed routine: go to bathroom, use toilet, wash hands, take out contacts, floss & brush teeth (thoroughly), put in retainer, then go to bed, lotion dry hands, turn out lights, sleep
• Routine for when I'm dying of exhaustion: toilet, eyes/contacts, cursory brush, sleep
• It took a long time, but eventually I wasn't having to remember to brush my teeth separately--I'd be tired and telling myself I'd let myself skip tooth brushing and initiate Goint To Bed and find myself brushing anyway because hey I'm in the bathroom there's the brush oh I'm just Going to Bed and brushing is a step of that
• Call it a routine, call it task bundling, call it operative conditioning, whatever
• I still don't *wash* dishes as a part of my Eat Meal routine which irks my housemates/parents but whatevs, 1 battle at a time

I want to close on a certain note, which is a How to ADHD book by a psych professional living with ADHD, and which I actually found helpful, but I am having trouble finding the title even searching back through all my reading history on 2 apps so....bear with me and I will either edit this post or reblog again. It was a book I heard about from @thebibliosphere first so I dunno maybe I'll chance the tumblr search function
