Meh, like yeah if it’s happening a lot and you have a inflammation/rash/broken skin then yeah get that checked.
Don’t know a doctor who will give the time of day if i show up saying, “my hand was itchy for two minutes a couple weeks ago and this happens a handful of times a year and it feels good if i use my teeth to dig in”…
That’s a good example of what i mean. Allergic reactions are common issues.
It’s normal to not have an itch and it’s normal to itch. Both can be true simultaneously and neither is weird.
Granted it’s a comment on Lemmy but at a larger scale this kind of incredulous comment can reinforce stigmas.
Your comment makes you seem shocked like a victorian era man seeing a woman’s bare ankle in public.
Doing volunteer trail maintenance. All the people swarm the tool pile trying to claim their favorite pick mattock or grub hoe. It’s adorable.
If you enjoy it then do it. Don’t do with for an idea that you “should”. Don’t burn yourself out.
Ichthyophobia isn’t cool. Take your hateful beliefs elsewhere.
To be clear I’m agreeing with you. I’m saying Ios_chill had a point with executive dysfunction being a symptom of many conditions. So jumping to one of those conclusions based on one symptom without further context nor a systematic approach is wasteful for everyone.
Executive dysfunction is a symptom of many other conditions such as depression, stress/anxiety, and autism.
ADHD diagnoses are expensive, intense, and take a long time. You wouldn’t want to spend your time, energy, and money on it if your real problem is something else.
In any case, therapy is the phase to start. Probably CBT or ACT as they directly focuses on OP’s complaint and are the most common forms that help ADHD anyways. They should also be able to help you identify whether a diagnosis is worth pursuing.
Furthermore you don’t diagnose symptoms, those are reported or observed. Definitely still valid to avoid the immediate jump from symptom to one of the many complexes which develop it.
It’s almost as absurd as comparing fish to fish
Guessing you have to sign a release/arbitration/“suck it” agreement when you agree to come on the show.
But the product is also redone from the ground up by vibe coding because lessons are impossible to learn and corporate is infallible.
Volunteer in outreach orgs or at events that are related to your interests.
There are also mutual aid orgs. They are almost always accessibility aware. Maybe check in with MADR. They may be able to point to local groups if you’re in the US.
There’s also Food Not Bombs which is great!
