    Yeah I do hope things get better - sorry I haven’t gotten back to you earlier.

    Life’s been extra hectic. ;-)

    I haven’t had time yet to check Discworld novels out but I shall.

    On the other hand, I’m waiting for an adhd appointment. So we’re getting somewhere!

    Never heard of Discworld. What is it about? (I know I could google but conversation is better!)

    Life is super messy, and my life so far has been more or less controlled by someone else and I do wonder when will I break free?

    My apologies for late reply... Again >_>, things are still... hectic. Hehe.

    I have that issue, although at least for me, I 100% know the source: My mother. If my mother yelled at me for forgetting to do something, the *absolutely very worst possible thing that I could do would be to do it right then.

    Yeah, same here kind of, my mother just absolutely loves to bark out orders and micromanage people to the point that I just get anxious hearing being told something nowadays.

    I have lots of specific memories, but I also don't remember a lot.

    Yep yep, lots of specific memories that are - by large for me - trauma memories. Other than that? Almost zero memory of things.

    One of the things I love about Tildes is that older topics don't die so quickly.

    I love that threads are bumpable haha!

    NO SHIT, SHERLOCK. ;-) <3 <3 <3

    Damn, Watson!

    And no I never heard of that! Happen to have a link on hand? If not I’ll google for one. But that sounds so adorable.

    Yes! Cockatiel! And I love that song so much haha. Did you see the original and/or Kiffness one? Both are great.

    Hmm. I love hearing one of my boys sing, when he sings he’s cute, but when he screeches oh lord help us all.

    Also some of the cute sounds they make when you scratch their heads. So adorable.

    And my absolute favorite birb sounds are baby noises!!! When they’re babies and demanding food and when they grow up and start “pew pew”ing. Melts my heart.

    Yeah I have quite a lot of behavioral issues regarding a lot of things and sometimes I can blow things out of proportion. Also if someone tells me to do X I refuse to do it even though I was gonna. It’s messed up.

    As for my childhood, honestly I barely remember things from my childhood. The concept of ADHD didn’t even exist back then in my family or even usual people’s minds (mind you, I’m not American nor Western in general).

    All I remember is that I was labeled a lazy kid and I struggled in school big time. I actually barely passed high school.

    Also sorry for late reply, my life is a bit hectic at the moment ahaha.

    They’re absolutely the best, most gorgeous (imo!) and so full of personality. Each one of my birds has like their own distinct personality and way of doing things.

    Thank you for your reply, it does sound similar to my life so to speak, I know it is taboo to self-diagnose and such, however I’m at a loss as to what else it could be, after trying depression medication and therapy, it didn’t fix it. Which led to me to believe that perhaps my depression is a symptom of a bigger thing.

    My room (where I spend most of my time) is extremely disorganized, to say that a tornado went through it is an understatement. Often I spend hours upon hours talking to my brain saying that “we will clean this, we will start cleaning” and then never actually doing it. Come to think of it this has been a thing most of my life, from when I was a kid.

    On top of that, any little project or thing that I wanna do and learn, a hobby or anything, at best I last two weeks before stopping entirely. I just get bored of it and even though it’s something I enjoy very much, my brain simply refuses to do it. It’s like there’s two parts of me that are tugging at each other and the dysfunctional part wins every. Single. Time.

    My relationships with people are always rocky and like a tornado, I’m easily irritable and jump at almost anything.

    I forget more than I would like to admit, and sometimes even while having conversations with people I forget WHILE talking to them. Like what the hell is that?! Not to mention that if I start doing one thing then I get distracted on my way to do another thing then I forget for hours on end that I was supposed to do that first thing. It’s a mess. Hell, my whole brain itself feels like a constant never ending tornado of thoughts.

    And many other things that I can’t think of at the moment.

    Thank you for your insight. I got a long road ahead of me to wait and get a diagnosis cause out of everything that I’ve researched in terms of mental health, AD(H)D is what best describes my mental “well”being.

    Many of these communities have long been established by others whose “shade” they probably are not sitting under. If my analogy doesn’t make sense I apologize in advance, been dealing with brain fog for a while and the possibility of a tumor. Anyhow.

    I think it is up to us to establish new communities and hubs and eventually have tildes be the new one stop shop.
    I’m not entirely familiar as of yet with how to make a subgroup or a group, however once I figure that out I am interested in getting a couple going, such as a subgroup of sports for Formula 1.

    Give it time to grow, I’m confident that there will eventually pop up a new one stop shop for information and knowledge.

    I’m wanting to get diagnosed for ADHD myself, I feel like after reading about symptoms and whatnot, I exhibit most of them. I’m not referring to the trendy “haha I’m so bored I must be adhd” type of diagnosis or symptoms. Anyhow.

    My question is, what was it like for you pre-diagnosis. What were your symptoms? I’d like to compare my life to yours and see if there’s similarity.

    FWIW, I am currently waiting for a diagnosis which should take about a year and a bit to come through, yay free healthcare.

    Birbs are awesome.

    I do have stablediffusion installed and like to occasionally generate art with it, but my results are less than desirable and quite frankly I’m confused most of the time. Some of the results I see from people are mind blowing, realistic works of art, beautiful art styles, etc.

    Meanwhile mine look fuzzy and like someone went overboard with a white marker for highlights.

    In in the midst of moving houses and whatnot but after? I’ll definitely have to do it. Perhaps once steam summer sale comes on so I can buy the DLCs.

    Back in ye olde days of forum that’s what we did, comment and have discussion.

    I’m happy to see a viable alternative to Reddit and I hope this place will, in time, grow to be a fantastic hub for many online communities.

    Thank you for having me!

    I’m rather excited about the prospect of not having “moderators” per se, there are many good ones out there but equally there are bad ones too.

    I like the idea of the community policing itself long term, and should hopefully prove to be a good system. I’m excited for what’s to come.

    I loved Kingdom Come: Deliverance! I played so much of it in the beginning and kept restarting my progress for one reason or another that I eventually burnt out and I never finished the game, but I loved it nonetheless.

    The graphics were great, the environment was great, I even liked the combat system. Oh man, I should perhaps play it again!
