For me it’s: “Chronic cannabis use during adolescence impairs emotional development in adulthood” “Over achievement in crisis situations is an indicator of ADHD” Both of which provoke “Hmm, ya probably, and fuck you too”

    I read a paper (non-scientific) that described someone experiencing dissociation. Did some academic reading and discovered that when it’s that extensive it’s a sign of PTSD and I went full confused mr krabs. Turns out I repressed a lot of shit. Four years later and I’m still in therapy!

    I also had a similar experience when someone described executive dysfunction, I looked into published research and realized I had ADHD.

        Hmm I’ll try harder to find it after work, struggling to find it during my break. I read it in a creative writing class. The theme explored dissociation as a “super power”, how useful it can be when you have control contrasted with the struggle of losing control. There are several references to popular shows/movies, one example being the Invisible Woman. Some exploration of gender roles and sexism.

        It’s driving me nuts that I cant find it haha. I may resort to downloading Canvas again to see if the old files are still available.
