Do I have ADHD? Having an Existential Crisis at Age 30 | Keeping Myself Alive Podcast #34
🦇 Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/CassieMakesArt
🕐 TIMESTAMPS
0:00 Intro
1:00 Podcast description refresher
1:18 Learning about what makes me...me! Neurodiversity, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, my previous diagnoses
5:27 Mental health stigma, physical health is important but so is mental health
7:20 My current diagnoses
7:53 TRIGGER WARNING: Unaliving
8:35 Feeling like you're crazy, masking, you're not alone
9:27 Coming to terms with my age and figuring out who I am
11:15 Cosplaying as an adult during my '20s
12:11 Realizing that no one knows how to "adult"
13:34 I did "all the right things" and still can barely afford to live on my own, there's nothing wrong with living with family, feeling like a fraud/loser/failure
15:31 Constantly feeling guilty for just...existing lmao/Miss Independent
17:42 Adulting sucks but you'll learn how to adapt
18:25 There's always support - don't be afraid to ask for help or accept it/memorable Uncle Phil moment
19:00 We are on a floating, spinning rock. Stop taking this sh!t so seriously
22:00 We're all gonna die
23:56 PMDD
24:40 We only get one shot at this...why cut it short? The great things in life make all the bad sh!t worth it
25:21 Find the joy in the little things/music is life-changing
26:00 A recent example of something very small that brought me joy
28:33 Being a human is the biggest blessing and the biggest curse. Can I just be a bird for a day?
29:22 The Internet is great but it is also awful for us if we don't limit our access to it
33:54 You are not a bad person for logging off and tuning out
35:41 Sometimes it's okay to pretend it's still the '90s
38:20 What's keeping me alive right now? Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Seriously.
42:17 I have discovered a new podcast and I am OBSESSED - Blocks with @nealbfree (link below)
46:14 Shoutout to the Family ( @H3Podcast )
46:15 @HowieMandelDoesStuff is interviewed by his friend Neal 🌹
49:36 Shift in career goals and life goals
50:36 What I want to do with my life/creating and selling my art/CassieMakesArt
53:07 Why do we stop making art as we grow up? If you loved art class in elementary school, pick up a paintbrush or a marker and just play/you don't have to share your art/art is for everyone
55:10 This world needs more art made by humans/please don't be afraid to put your art into the world!!
55:54 Quick look at my art journal/showing you how you can create art without knowing how to draw
56:52 Fearless Summer Camp with @shawnaclingerman with my friend @queensfancyplans
1:01:03 My drawing of Shredder 😇🐶 from @h3h3productions @h3pod @H3Podcast Rest in peace, little buddy
