spindizzy: (Shut it down)

Hello my sweets, through a convoluted chain of logic, [twitter.com profile] captainraz and I did a ritual burning to... Acknowledge that being diagnosed with ADHD is a complicated thing and it's okay to feel like the knowledge is positive and still be frustrated and sad for the person that you thought you were going to be? I have no idea what Tonks wrote on her card, tbh, but mine was definitely a goodbye to Idealised Susan, who not only doesn't exist, but never had a chance to exist at all, I just didn't know it. But it turns out that there was a corner of my brain permanently occupied with comparing myself to Idealised Susan and now I need to figure out what to do with the extra energy I'm going to have from not having to argue with myself about my worth as a human being! Possibly this is me becoming a secondary character in a Persona game, because I had a boss battle against Idealised Susan, used too many items, and now have to figure out what the hell I'm going to do with myself until the next cutscene.

... And also we had cake. This is who we are as people.
