tries to strut down hallway, immediately whacks hand on doorknob hard enough to hear

grabs hand and leans over in pain, accidently headbutting the wall

omg I feel that so much

I have:

  • fallen down stairs 5+ times, breaking my ankle on two such occasions
  • stubbed my one of my middle toes on a door frame when attempting to walk out of my bathroom, splitting a toenail
  • regularly run into walls, corners, and door frames
  • regularly stub my toes on bed frames
  • broken so many glasses and plates my parents thought something was wrong with me

I am usually paying attention (I think) and able to see well (I think); I suspect my proprioception is just off. When I was a kid, the ball often hit me in the face when attempting to play sports. I had a hard time coordinating my body, even when trying. There was a notable improvement when I started estrogen, I was able to navigate in the dark better than before, but I still run into objects so it could just be placebo.

I've generally heard it referred to as the "ADHD walk", myself. My hands generally take the worst of it; if anything i feel like I'm a little too spacially aware of the rest of my body

oo, that makes sense - I'm starting to suspect I might be neurodivergent, so it might turn out to be a semi-appropriate label for me 😅

The hands on the doorknob hurt so much - I can feel it just from your description, it almost makes me feel sick, lol

Might also look into ASD, sometimes ASD can be the underlying cause of ADHD symptoms, see:

https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychiatry/articles/10.3389/fpsyt.2022.837424/full

How you react to stimulants might help differentiate, people with ADHD usually respond to stimulant medication differently.

Also, there is suspected overlap in the genetic causes of ASD and gender dysphoria:

https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/104/2/390/5104458

Polymorphisms in two genes were overrepresented in transgender women by allele analysis but not by the (more stringent) genotype analysis.

...

Second, the G allele in STS is associated with reduced enzyme levels; this has been noted mostly in studies of ADHD (41), a condition with fivefold increased incidence of gender dysphoria (42), suggesting a possible overlap in etiology.

and ASD and ADHD both are associated with higher rates of gender dysphoria:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24619651/

As compared to non-referred comparisons, participants with ASD were 7.59 times more likely to express gender variance; participants with ADHD were 6.64 times more likely to express gender variance.

Either way, congrats on moving forward with diagnosis!

you're WRONG!!! and here are some reasons why you're wrong:

  • you've had the strength to survive this long, despite the obvious hell you've been through. there is beauty in that, and if even i can see it, then you will see it one day
  • despite all the pain, you've been kind and encouraging and caring in your interactions with people here. the right wants to rob us of our basic empathy and decency, and here you are defying them
  • i love you, god damn it. you might think that's meaningless because i don't really know you, you may think i wouldn't love you if i knew you. you'd be wrong. believe it or not, every second you survive is precious to me

so stop being ur own hater!!!
