Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Stereotypes:
They don’t care about how they act
~
Real:
They absolutely care how they act. I have a friend who suffers badly from ADHD. And he is constantly stressed because of how he often acts. He tries very hard to be “responsible” and “normal”. But it’s also very hard for him. Of course, that’s when he’s on his meds. But even when he wasn’t, we were at work, helping people, and I told him to be responsible he looked at me apologetically and said “I know, I’m trying.”

How to ADHD (YouTube Channel) Ah, I love this channel it has helped me so much in understanding my friends and in writing Muffet. If you don't want to watch everything but are still interested in learning about it, here are just a few of their videos that really help to explain ADHD How to (Explain) ADHD (and make sure to check out the description and pinned comment for even more explanations) The Problem with Masking ADHD and Autism (burnout, etc.)
I’ve completely startled myself. Do you realize how short a month is? Like I’m trying to finish something by beginning of November. Oh, I’ve got month and a half. No biggy. No. That’s five weeks. Five weeks And weeks are shockingly short. I mean, I’ve been in school for what, three weeks? And I feel like I started a week ago. I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO FINISH THIS!! Not with 12 hours of coding homework every week!
So I started publishing Faded Gold like four weeks ago... But I didn’t mention it. So I’m mentioning it now.
Quotev Wattpad
I have a reminder to publish Tuesdays and Thursdays. Time unspecified. But really, just expect two chapters every week. Because sometimes life and school gets ahead of me in every possible way you can think of.
It’s just a giant mountain pile of things to do. But it’s fine, because on the other side of that mountain is depression. So we keep slowly chipping at the mountain because if we don’t, it’ll get bigger and depression will try to walk around it. But it we keep chipping at it, depression will sit there and wait, expecting it to eventually be gone and then it doesn’t have to do any work to get to me. ....... I’m going to go prove to myself I remember CSS from five years ago, now.
Oh, something random (since I started and don’t want to keep doing homework right now), I’ve been watching the Tumblr Sexyman stuff on Twitter that’s happening. I don’t have Twitter, but it’s a ton of fun to watch. I’ll probably draw who I’m voting for based on how he places. All I know when writing this is the character I’ve been voting for the entire time is in the final two. What am I doing with my life
I’m also working on another larger project. I’m 80% done, and will be posting that for Undertale’s Anniversary (Sep 15) because determination to complete something by the time I want to.
I need the motivation boost...
OKay back to homework now.
Sleep Disorders
Stereotypes:
CFS and Depression are the same.
~
Real:
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Depression are not the same. However, they look very similar. The main difference is with depression, you have a loss of interest in activities you normally enjoy. CFS doesn't have this.

I haven’t done anything because I don’t want to exist right now.
It’s Mental Health/ADHD Awareness month, last week was Mental Health Awareness Week, OCD Awareness Week is now, World Mental Health Day was a few days ago, today is Anti-bullying Day, it’ll be Red Ribbon Week (not the one done is schools but the actual one) and normally I’d draw something for all of these, but... I’m not going to. I’ve updated Muffet’s ADHD info, though.
Oh yeah, I’m almost done with a few of the refs. And when I say a few, I mean a few. The others haven’t even been started. So don’t get your hopes up anytime soon (mostly talking to myself on that one).
Also the book, I haven’t posted the last four chapters and it’s basically still just the reason of not existing. Probably not going to update it for a few more weeks even though I’ve finished writing most of it, but it’ll be up-to-date by October 22.
Also with the book I’ve been debating if I should put everything into one book because Pros: Navigation, read in order/context, overall easier and more user-friendly, TIMELINE Cons: Constantly switching main characters in a not-very-easy-to-understand format, that one book that could make people hate me... TIMELINE
Whatever. I’ll be back eventually.

Doomverse!Error by @abrasive002
My name is Jada or JadaE, I’m female, pronouns are she/her.
I am not diagnosed with any mental illness/condition (I use these words interchangeably) even though I could as I identify strongly with some of these conditions. I mostly haven’t for personal reasons... Please please be careful in self-diagnosing. It’s quite dangerous to do. If you think you might have something, please talk to a doctor.
Enough about me.
Neurosistale was made to show people what certain illnesses actually are. I try not to use any stereotypes. The characters are quite vague in their personalities, symptoms, etc, which is used only to allow people to identify with the characters. Everyone has different symptoms so I try to keep it vague.
I've gone through so many versions and so many plans, story plots, character designs, and a whole bunch more and... I decided not to make a story for Neurosistale. However, the characters are always open for asks unless stated otherwise on their ref.
I guess the Neurosistale characters are going to be more of a support group than an AU. Feel free to talk to them and avoid anything too dark, because these will be shared with me and all of Tumblr.
And let's be honest here, I'm not a therapist. I haven't gone to school studying this stuff (other than PSY 1010). I'm going off the internet, books, YouTubers, and my own personal experiences. I'm only here wanting to help people.
There is, my own version of each of the characters in which they have actual personalities, symptoms, and detail. They also would have more specific subcategories of their illness (which may or may not make sense). I may refer to this version as Specified!Neurosistale
(Read below for links, schedules, and more info)
Characters' Stories (Specified!Neurosistale):
Neurosistale (Quotev)
Neurosistale (Wattpad)
For The Female Multiverse (FM)... The Authors' Note is the best explanation for it, just read that.
The Female Multiverse
This is something that I helped Taffy with, the FM belongs to Taffy (@mimi-ikfrea). She had the idea, I helped her with forming it into a story. This AU is not mine but I will answer most Asks about it.
Times are based on Mountain Standard/Daylight Time.
If I post anything, it'll be at 7:30am or 7:30pm
One last thing. I don't plan to post much that's not Neurosistale or The Female Multiverse. I'll have seven main tags, I'll put them below. Also, a note, SNT stands for Specified!Neurosistale.
