Hi, I’m 19f diagnosed with dyslexia dyscalculia and my sister was diagnosed with add and think’s I have it.

Onto my problem I still live with my mom and dad. I love my dad he is the best. We never fight, he actually listens to me, we are very close.

But he’s getting older and I think he’s having some hearing issues. The last couple years he’s been turning the tv on sooo loud. It’s so overstimulating for me. If I ask he’ll turn it down of course. Even when he turns it down it’s overstimulating.

I have a pair of loop earplugs they just aren’t enough. Watching YouTube/tv is how he unwinds after work and my love language is quality time.

I don’t know what to do. I’ve thought about getting proper ear muffs. But I feel like my “issues” aren’t enough to warrant one. And that it could come across as “attention seeking” but maybe I’m overthinking it.

There’s never been much of an appeal to go to concerts for one they are loud(i have seizures). There isn’t really a concert scene where we live. A couple months ago a band my dad liked in high school came to our area and he really wanted my sister and I to go.

He was so excited. I took my loop earplugs and some sun shades to help with the lights. We still had to leave early because they could tell; I was about to have a panic attack. I felt so bad. :(

If you have any advice I would love to hear it.

19f I’m looking to hopefully make some discord friends 18+ only. I’m in a couple discord servers and I have no idea how people make friends in them. Either they are too big or too small.

Anyways

Hi, Im Nikki not my actual name just what. I’m going by online at the moment. I’m diagnosed with dyslexia,dyscalculia, gad, and absent seizures also my older sister has adhd and thinks I have it. Won’t know until I get my drivers license and start therapy.

My current interest: gaming- reading- collecting book I’ve posted my bookshelf a couple of times. If you want to see my collection.

I’ve started to shiny hunt. In Arceus and let’s go Eevee. I’m waiting for scarlet to come in. I’m excited to play that. I recently started to play Breath of the Wild. The world building is so cool. I’ve put an ungodly amount of time into Stardew valley and Infinity Nikki (hence the gamer tag)

I’m LGBTQ+ and POC friendly so if you’re not or maga don’t bother any ai defender as well. I hate ai. Protect nature and Mother Earth!!!

I’m not sure what I am sexuality wise; but I like women so I call myself queer. My pronouns are she/her.

There is a lot of mental health issues and addiction in my family. Especially the woman my mom’s an alcoholic and not the fun silly kind. If that even exists. So no alcohol for me.

Personality wise I have no idea how to describe myself :(
I’m an INFP who adores orcas/killer whales they are so intelligent and cool. If we’re friends you will definitely be hearing fun fact about them. Though not all of my fun fact are “fun”. lol

Did you know that not all Orcas are the same species? So when Orcas hunt other orcas it may not actually be cannibalism.

Anyways if you want to be friends. Dm me or comment and I’ll dm you my Discord. Though I’ve never done this so will have to see how this goes lol :)

Sorry if my grammar isn’t the best.

Best wishes from a internet stranger that wants to be friends 💜

Hi, I’m 19 my neurologist put me on Zoloft in the beginning of April. Starting at 25mg to 59mg. Honestly I can’t really tell if it’s made a difference.

But my dad told me recently that Im not as motivated as usual. Like it will take me days to do simple chores around the house. I don’t have a lot of chores just help around the kitchen/living room.

I haven’t had a period since before I started taking it. Which I don’t have supper consist periods 28-40 day cycles. I also have only read one book since I started taking it. I usually read around 20 400+ page books a year.

Just wondering if anyone has had similar experiences with Zoloft. How long did it take you to notice it helping with anxiety?

I’m planning to call my doctor soon probably ask to be put on something else.

I don’t have any expensively books. I do have a lot of them though they should be a few thousand at least. I just want to protect my collection god forbid anything happens. What would you recommend any website/app you use. If you use excel how do you catalog it? I’m 19 so I feel quite out of my depth here. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
