"Situational" vs "clinical".

As happens, I know a lot about depression, and my reaction to the new version was, well, I'm not a specialist or a pro, but, in my view, it was sketchy.

Same but maybe not as much. I'll pretty much always take the novel over the mundane, because why wouldn't you? Life is too be lived. I'm not sure that's what makes me ADHD (but the other things though most likely do).

I got super traumatized as a kid, and it did affect me. I'm also an intp. But I'm also an empath, which was really handy as a nurse and person taking care of animals.

Every autistic person thinks I'm autistic. I'm very clumsy socially, but like I said, I had a super traumatic childhood.

It's hard to pull apart

I voted yes just because I am weird socially, learn some things pretty slowly, and can be obsessed over art sometimes among other reasons I feel I am just different.

Edit: I don't know if "different" is the best phrasing. This shows another thing I tend to do though which is obsess over whether something is rude or not AFTER sending.

My perpetual bad/good/weird trait is that I'm subconsciously inconsistent at everything, even my tastes, preferences, where I sleep, what I eat. There's no pattern to anything. Chaos and variety reign supreme in my life. A new song is always better than an old one, a new soap is better than the last, a different color, left not right, side streets not the highway,... Why? It just is. Maybe I wanna see what happens. I crave it, tossing a wrench into everything.

My 'usual', is chaos.

The ADHD meds only soften my emotional issues (anger), but I've had therapy out the ass for that and they never figured it out beyond depression (which was ADHD in the end). I didn't meet the criteria for anything else.

He hates his own history and his own attachments as much as he hates everyone else's. I feel like that that's why everything went this way where before it hadn't been too bad before he arrived. The truly depraved violence wasn't from the guns and the camps, that was just a warmup. It was in teaching a self-loathing that reproduces itself through repeated violence and alienation and corrodes a society he wishes to dominate from the inside out. People start saying: why bother? Nobody will believe me. Nobody will care. And the empathy drains out of them. A society that gets their stories from a spectacle, rather than from each other.

In the modern world, people are so parched for an ounce of care that when you give it to them, they don't know what to do. But if you keep giving it to them long enough, miracles start to happen. That is I think part of why I think the proliferation of so many labels is happening. It's like an immune response to the alienation. Because in the white man's world, nothing about you can be believed unless you have your papers. So we scramble to find ways to encode who we are in the power signs of the dominant systems of control.
