Prioritizing self-care a bit more. Finally got around to scheduling an appointment for ADHD testing, and I'm pissed at myself for waiting this long (it took 10 minutes to schedule the damn appointment... it took 7+ years to even try...) Naturally, got a call the next day and learned i scheduled with the wrong person (psychiatrist vs psychologist), but the person i scheduled with can do a referral to the right person so I'm good with that.

Me too! I finally went to see a psychiatrist last week and got some meds to try out :3

Since I have a lot of inattentive-type symptoms and not really any impulsivity-type I'd always assumed it was just laziness. Then I found out that women often present that way, and after figuring out last year I'm not as male as I though I was, I realized there might be something to it after all...

Got my wedding ring tattoo and it turned out beautifully! We've been married about three months and she has a traditional ring, but we both know I am far too forgetful to have anything of value be a day to day thing. It's a matching flower to existing tattoos she already has, a Clematis. We're both trans and had a trans tattooist. 💕
