This is the thread to come to when you need to get stuff off your chest but don’t want to bother or upset anyone. Please be conscious of your comrades and use spoilers and CWs as necessary

Also, sometimes when folks vent they just want to get it out, they don’t want advice or feedback or anything, so if that’s you please identify as such and we’ll enforce

If you don’t want people to respond to your venting, start the post with the ❌ emoji

If you really do want or even need responses ✅

If you don’t care, don’t worry about it :meow-coffee:

If you have any feedback for future venting posts please let me know and i’ll discuss it with the other mods!

I’m in the recurring “everythings falling apart” phase of my college semester.

Mood af.

I’m in the same phase right now, especially since my university recently came back from spring break, so I’ve been having to try and force myself back into a mindset where I can get work done. Tbh, for me that feeling of falling apart wasn’t always warranted in hindsight. Pre-covid I’d steadily built up coping strategies that helped me do better at school as time went on and classes got harder, so I’ve actually surprised myself on several occasions by doing much better than I expected. I’ve also done the opposite though where I didn’t feel like “everything’s falling apart” about certain classes and wound up failing. For example, I got a B in Theoretical Physics despite that class dealing with some pretty high level math that I still feel I don’t totally grasp, but I also had to take Multivariable Calculus 3 times in order to get a high enough grade to move on with my degree, despite the fact that on paper it should be much easier that a Theoretical Physics class.

Everything moving online due to covid kinda ruined a lot of my coping strategies though. It’s nice being able to stay at home all day with my family, but trying to take an online Quantum Mechanics course with inattentive type ADHD while living with 5 other people is not easy lol.

This time I’ve tried to create rules about computer usage to help me stay on task. I’m going to start this tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Good luck with that comrade. o7

What is Neurodivergence?

It’s ADHD, Autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, aspd, etc etc etc etc

“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”

So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we’re concerned

Rules

1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them

2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence

2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals

3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven’t personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you’re ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another’s, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who’s experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm’d.

3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith

4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!

Further rules to be added/ rules to be changed based on community input

RULES NOTE: For this community more than most we understand that the clarity and understandability of these rules is very important for allowing folks to feel comfortable, to that end please don’t be afraid to be outspoken about amendments and addendums to these rules, as well as any we may have missed
