I found out I’m hypermobile - here’s everything I’ve learnt so far
Please stick to OnlyFans if you really like feet.
After a running injury this January, I went to a podiatrist who confirmed my suspicions that I’m hypermobile. Cue me learning lots about it - don’t quote me on any of the science though.
Massive shoutout to Help! I’m Hypermobile’s Alex O for helping me understand way more about hypermobility: hypermobilityhq?hl=en-gb / www.youtube.com/@hypermobilityhq

Coming into a high-energy phase, managing ADHD cycles
มุมมอง 325ปีที่แล้ว
A few months ago, someone commented asking to see me non-burnout - so here I am! Watching this back, I’m noticing how quickly I’m talking. I haven’t actually witnessed my own ADHD like this before, but it’s pretty apparent, right? I’m coming out of a week-long cold, which I think might have flushed out the remainders of a pretty solid four months of burnout. At the beginning of the year I felt ...
How do I know when to rest when it's light all the time?
มุมมอง 366ปีที่แล้ว
Feel like the cinematography on this is a fairly apt representation of my ADHD desire for creativity mixed with extreme impatience. Got distracted a lot, to the extent that I forgot I filmed this. Things I cover: - Camera angles ft. Accidental house tour - My thoughts on weather and temperature - Why I love getting up early (don’t do this enough) - Foggy brain/ short term recall - Extremes of l...
Metaphor for wellbeing
มุมมอง 206ปีที่แล้ว
A few lingering observations that have come together into one: metaphor as a parallel for addressing reality, the closure of a story arc for catharsis and sparking physical/psychological responses, and some other things I've already forgotten about. Enjoy!
Physicality and consequences - autistic/ADHD thinking and being a human being with basic needs
มุมมอง 950ปีที่แล้ว
I'm back and it's a long one. This is a story about me driving down the road, hitting a small piece of detritus, and that seemingly insignificant moment prompting a fairly sizeable revelation. I've realised that I don't take my physical self into account when making decisions. Thanks to my ADHD/autistic brain, I do plenty of analysis and imagining when thinking things through, but the bit about...
Recognising my high-stress patterns and choices as ADHD/autistic
มุมมอง 1.1Kปีที่แล้ว
Here I go again. This wasn't what I planned to talk about, but there are no rules, so freestyling feels like a joy! I've recently discovered that 31 years of masking has put my body into a state of constant stress, setting in motion an ever-increasing need for high-intensity stimuli to compensate. And now I've seen it, I'm really not happy about it. 00:00 - 02:29 - life updates 02:30 - me stres...
I took a personality test as my ADHD/autistic self
มุมมอง 1Kปีที่แล้ว
Who doesn't love a personality test? Whether we're talking psychometric profiling done as part of interviewing for a job, or a Buzzfeed quiz promising to reveal which foods I need to eat to be the perfect partner, I've always been game. But no matter how curious and excited I was to see myself reflected back at me, until this week I never felt satisfied. Instead of seeing someone that I recogni...
BTS burnout - what it's like as ADHD/autistic
มุมมอง 14Kปีที่แล้ว
It's been a week. It's been two weeks. In fact, it's been 31 flippin' years. Burnout is something I've experienced my whole life, often a result of overwhelm as an autistic/ADHD person in a world that I have to work hard to understand and keep up with. My funky brain gets so excited by that very same world, and I get started on project after project - each has a different timeline, but they all...
Imagination vs Expression - storytelling as ADHD and autistic
มุมมอง 7Kปีที่แล้ว
Got so excited to talk about my creative limitations that I kept my coat on the whole time. Neurodivergent minds can be characterised by expansive imaginations; many of the nd people I know can build whole worlds in their heads, in just moments. This is an incredible gift, but it can also be hella frustrating and hard to handle. I had some thoughts recently around how I can channel all the stuf...
The dark day of my menstrual cycle
มุมมอง 196ปีที่แล้ว
There will be blood in about 10 days, but on day 21, I’m just a monster. There's for sure a link between being neurodivergent (ADHD/autistic) and how my period affects me, but I'm still in data-gathering mode on that. This is actually a tale full of optimism and self-compassion ♥ TLDR: - All menstruating women have hormonal peaks and troughs - Tracking your cycle can help you predict these - Da...
How I deal with RSD
มุมมอง 2.1Kปีที่แล้ว
Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) is v commonly experienced by neurodivergent people. As ADHD/autistic, RSD is a big deal for me. I'm starting to learn how to spot it and manage it. TLDR: - Talk to myself - Write it down - Take a break - Talk to someone safe - Get some air (ft. buying an apple) Resources on RSD I found useful: www.additudemag.com/rejection-sensitive-dysphoria-and-adhd/ www.ad...
