This is my belated #introduction. My name is Zoë; I'm non-binary and genderfluid pansexual in my early 30s.
By the day, I work in physical science. All day long, I'm hella . I love reading, writing letters, drawing stuff, taking photos of nature (especially plants), and sometimes writing for fun. I identify as leftist, humanist, and anti-authoritarian. Spiritually, I'm a universal unitarian.
Currently, I'm being treated for depression and anxiety disorders. I use CWs liberally, and if you'd like me to CW my posts, please let me know.
All interactions are welcome, as long as we remain respectful towards each other and their consent as human beings, no more no less.
It's nice to meet ya!
Alignment chart under construction... chaotic neutral: any work that concerns itself with the position of human in the universe is a work of science fiction

mental health (social anxiety); discussion of adhd too; drugs
I have also suspected that I may be ADHD-adjacent, but I have never obtained a diagnosis.
However, I have always been wondering about the *intersection* of ADHD with anxiety, and with general "difficulty" with socialization (in the general sense of being in a society, interact with people, understanding one's social self, etc.). My understanding of the "actual" ADHD is very limited, so what I write must be taken with a huge grain of salt. What I find in particular is that how a very meaningful and significant dimension of the ADHD is the *emotions*. All the while the society quite expectedly focus on the medicalization and "getting things done" (productivity) dimensions.
I think part of the reason why I'm not even that willing to seek an ADHD diagnosis (apart from being in a pandemic) is that, if actually given one, what if they just give me amphetamines? (This is without knowing whether the meds will work)
mental health (social anxiety); caricature of whiteness
Just imagine the prospect of me having one tenth of the confidence and self-assurance of a Generalized White Cishet Male.
