I am back to working in person and I can tell my impulsivity is impacting how some coworkers view me. They don’t know, but I wonder if people feel I am weird. I know I can’t please everyone but I want to be neurotypical masking at the very least for 9-10 hours a day (8 hrs plus lunch and a lil before & after work).

If you feel eyes upon you, have you ever thought about addressing it head-on? My understanding is the tech sector is generally welcoming and accepting of the neurodiverse and if people do think you are a little different, explaining might help you and them bridge those interpersonal gaps. Being a normie is all fine and dandy, but it's so much better to be the perfect imperfect YOU!

Does anyone have experience breaking up w a therapist? I've been seeing my therapist for 5+ years for eating disorder treatment and we've been through so much together, but I don't think she's able to help me anymore. While I've stopped my ED behaviors, they've evolved into OCD, and I'm finding that her methods might be making it worse. I think I want to try an OCD expert instead. But I don't know how to end the relationship. Do I just stop going? Do I explain myself? I don't know what to do 🥺

So today was my first day on a stimulant (diagnosed as an adult), and everyone says its suppose to feel like *boom* magic, or normal (?) , I guess. Knowing that is figurative, what should I actually be expecting? I feel mostly the same, I think, though I came in and actually did started my work today. But I mean, somedays I do that...I just don't want to psyche myself out if I'm expecting too much. Or pscyhe myself in if I actually might not be experiencing what I should.
