I had my first appointment today with a new provider - a nurse practitioner - at the third practice I’ve tried since getting diagnosed with ADHD in January. I’m kinda reeling from it, and I’m trying to make sense of my feelings, because idk if I’m just sensitive because I’m unmedicated for the third day in a row...
I’ve had a ‘passion’ for programming for all my life, but recently I’ve been getting into a very, very emotional state over stuff like tooling and small things like that. The smallest things make me go off these days, and I feel so tired after every discussion. Feeling like I am in the wrong or that I don’t know what...

Synesthesia is when two senses combine with each other and form relationships. For example, I have the most common kind: grapheme-color synesthesia. Mine looks like this. The only one that’s supposed to be black is “1”. Otherwise, the ones in black have no color associated with them....
The link I shared has a lot of good information about this condition; it’s similar to dyslexia but for math. In school math was always my worst subject and it often took me multiple tries to pass my math classes. It baffled everyone around me because I was good at all my other subjects.
