          I grew my hair super long during lockdown, over a year and a half without so much as a trim. Wanted to see how long it got in that time (answer: hella).

          Eventually I decided it was too much hassle and just learned how to acceptably cut it myself.

            I hear you. I have learned that my hair has a surprising amount of body and grows out as much as it grows down; one of my aunts, upon seeing me for the first time in a couple years, asked if I’d gotten it permed because of all the curls that it doesn’t have when short. Which, no, it just seems that it comes naturally.

            (My wife, on the other hand, took the opportunity to try the buzz they’ve wanted for years and decided that this made them very happy.)

              Yesss mine is like this too. Not so much curls, but big waves and immense floof. I have TOO MUCH HAIR. So on top of keeping it short I gotta thin it out with layers, especially at the ends, so it doesn’t look/feel like I have a giant blonde cloud around my head. Learning to do that myself during the pandemic was challenging but such a relief.

                Mine is a mix of wavy and curly textures, is fine and there’s a lot of it. Frizz central most of the time but if it’s foggy or misting and I go for a walk outside it’ll curl perfectly.

            I’ve had long hair most of my life, so yeah, the hair collar thing is very real. I don’t think I really register it anymore – drawing my hair out is just part of putting on a top.

              My hair’s only been long enough for that off and on for the last decade, but I don’t remember ever being irritated by the collar pull

              Rather the hair thing I hate is how easily it flies into my mouth while I’m eating, so now I gotta tie my hair up whenever I sit down with food

            I once forgot to get a haircut for 4 years. Seriously, I just kept forgetting to make a hair appointment. My hair was near my hips by the time I got it cut.

          For me, I have to do it with my beard.

          Also, I totally misread what was happening in the final panel as her moving her hand away from the general area of her crotch, but knowing it’s the collar hair flip makes way more sense.

            Yeah, right there with you. I mean, right now, I have the “Patrick Stewart fringe”, but that’s in large part because my options are that or the PHB cut, and I’d rather not be a PHP.

            I mean, OK, in *theory*, it could get long enough to get past the PH effect, but I’d need to put up with the PH effect longer than I’m able to get there.

        Thank goodness you said that cuz I was wondering what Becky’s hand motion in that last panel was. I thought that even SHE shocked herself with her own speed and was waving her hand in front of her face in awe of her own abilities.

            i mean… you can always… wear it up?

            most of the time i either tie my hair or braid it or shove it under a hat. i do find hair everywhere (most off-puttingly in my food, no matter how carefully i pull it back before cooking) but i don’t have this face touching problem you describe.

              My hair’s pretty fine. Even in a ponytail or under a hat bits get loose quickly and start floating around.

              And yes, hair is pretty much a condiment around here. Not nearly so bad as when I was living with a friend with a couple big dogs and 4-5 cats though.

        I cannot deal with it the second it gets long enough to get stuck in my collar. I had straight up Rapunzel hair as a kid (below my waist) and finally chopped it all off to my shoulders in HS and chin in college and have not gone back.

        The pandemic’s going on 2 years with no salon visits was definitely becoming irritating so I finally broke down and cut it myself with…surprising success? But yeah I just cannot deal with that feeling of hair touching the base of my neck anymore.

          Oh, being a big hairy man that inherited thick hair from my grandparents, and getting occasionally so involved in living that i forget about the whole face\head\nether hair stuff, i just tie it all down, with rubberbands or sticks or whatever i have on hand that won’t be more trouble than it’s worth.

          Sure, when it’s time to sleep i’m SOL and have to untie everything, but i’m usually so tired by the end of the day that it’s no real bother.

          TL;DR: Just tie it up next time lmao

      There’s an episode of Seinfeld where George is with a woman who tells him to make himself comfortable while she leaves the room, and he’s completely unable to read the situation and tell whether he’s about to get lucky (and should therefore undress) or not (which would make undressing a terrible decision).

      He settles for taking his shoes off, figuring that can be interpreted as innocent.

    This is unrelated to the comic, and I apologize for that, but I know people here have mentioned having this experience, so: Could anyone share with me their experience of getting diagnosed with ADHD as an adult? It’s something I’ve been thinking about recently, and I don’t know if I’m actually going to think about getting evaluated anytime soon (got a lot of other stuff to deal with as well), but it’s something I’m curious about.

      I cannot share my experience, but I have two friends with experience: one got it done a few years back, and the other has their appointment scheduled for next month. It seems like a shitty process: I’ve heard “20 pages of intake forms”, and the eval itself was hours of stuff they didn’t want to talk about, they were so exhausted from it.

      But if the condition’s a potential problem, I’d still encourage you to get the diagnosis so that you can figure out how to arrange your life to account for it.

      Yo.

      Basically, I just brought it up to my GP because my tendency towards focusing really hard on my computer to the point of losing hours was cited as a common thing in ADHD, started doing some paperwork and questionnaires, and eventually talked to a psychiatrist who diagnosed me.

      I dunno if that’s necessarily typical, I’ve been told it’s supposed to be harder to get one and it involves stripping out what it could be versus definitely being ADHD, but for me it was pretty straightforward to get my diagnosis.

      Something I wish I was told in advance is not to view your meds as a panacea. I have had like a total of four good weeks in the past five months and I’m piecing together that my diagnosis and my adderall dosage has brought to light a lot of the other vitamin/nutrient deficiencies I’ve got brewing in me, which are apparently pretty typical for ADHD.

      With or without a particular diagnosis, getting to know your unique stripes as a neurodivergent is a very personal experience. Hell, I myself am discovering new stripes of mine everyday, all thanks to all of you great people around here!

      Anyway, if you’re interested in learning more about ADHD in particular and wanna read even more comics, ADHD Alien is a good starting point!!!

      I was fortunate enough to get diagnosed at age 5, so this is second-hand, but my mom recently got a diagnosis and she described it as basically explaining some stuff to her [medical professional], them saying she probably “just” has ADHD brain, and her saying “Yeah, that makes sense tbh”. There was probably more to it than that, but considering I’ve suspected for decades that something is “up” with her, I doubt it was much more elaborate.

      I was diagnosed at 30. I brought up my concerns to my psychiatrist (who I saw already for anxiety/depression), and he asked me a bunch of questions, and how long I’d felt that way, if certain things had been since childhood etc./as long as I could remember. And then he proclaimed I did have ADHD and gave me medication for it. First one didn’t really work, second medicine helped a lot. It was like lifting a lead curtain off my brain.

      Hi! I’m not sure how typical my case is, possibly not very much, but I was diagnosed at age 29 (during lockdown in the worst of the pandemic, initially via zoom meeting. It was weird.)

      Even though I now realize I’m a pretty textbook case of severe combined-type ADHD I guess I slipped through the cracks growing up, which is exceedingly common in kids assigned female at birth because of course it is. Also I was a master at bullshitting from a very young age and that definitely helped me mask it.

      I only realized there was something else amiss when my very disabling chronic depression, with which I struggled aged 12-27, suddenly disappeared without a trace. That’s a wholeeeee separate and long story, lol, but once it was gone and I was still just as dysfunctional despite being perfectly cheerful I decided to find help. I’m in the US and it took me two years to finally find someone who was taking new patients. Cue the pandemic.

      My very first assessment was over zoom, got prescribed a non-stimulant called atomoxetine. Four days later I felt suicidal and since my depression had vanished I knew this was unusual and hauled ass to the ER. The desire to unalive myself was gone as soon as the atomoxetine cleared my body (HOWEVER: I know other ADHDers who swear by it. Different strokes, folks, etc.) and at the psych hospital they put me on the more traditional ADHD stuff.
      Let me tell you: that ish is life-changing and I honestly have no idea how I survived 29 years in this chaotic, exhausting world built largely by and for neurotypicals without those meds. Seriously.

      I mean, I’m still a feral gremlin who struggles to wash their hair some days and somehow forgets their own butt even though it’s attached; my flavor of ADHD is severe and disabling so I’m not sure that I’ll ever be able to live a fully typical life the way it’s expected of me by society, but at least with proper treatment I can at least try to figure myself out and not be constantly drained and unfocused even though I’m trying so hard, y’know?

      Now I’m gonna go to bed because I have a strong aversion to Sharing Personal Stuff on the Internet but an even stronger belief in doing my part to help others like me and raise awareness of mental health issues, so yeah. Hope this helps!

        Thanks for the response. The online screeners I’ve taken would suggest primarily the inattentive flavor for me, but my depression is still very much active, so it’s hard to know how that might be the source of things. Based on your timeline, it seems like it may work to start looking into it and dealing with other stuff in the meantime, then seeing where I’m at.

      I was diagnosed last year at 28 years old and it’s been a huge relief to be able to access support and to understand why *thing* happens.

      Diagnosis can be different from country to country, but I prepared for it by reading (a lot) to understand more about the process and the sorts of ways that I can communicate my experiences. I find even though other ADHD (or Autistic) people are the best source of info and to help understand my brain, you sometimes need to translate stuff for doctors who aren’t themselves ND.

      I kept a journal and wrote down everything relevant from when I was a kid. What was school like? What were my relationships like? What did I struggle with? What was my sleep like? I did the same for adulthood, too.

      I basically built a timeline of my life and what my development was at different points. I included quotes and info from childhood friends, family, teachers etc so I could go into the appointment with all my evidence collected.

      “Attention Defecit Disorder in Adults” by Dr Lynn Weiss is a fantastic resource. She is a psychotherapist with ADHD herself and the book is accessible, strengths-focused and is guinely a great book.

      My wife is actually seeking such a diagnosis at the moment. The process has been somewhat delayed due to a change in therapists, but still technically in progress.

      I know it’s not quite the same as ADHD, but I recently went through the process of getting diagnosed as autistic at the age of 33. Due to there being so few people in my part of the Midwestern US trained to diagnose it in adults (most are focused on kids with autism), I had to find a licensed psychotherapist in Canada to get diagnosed. She sent me a questionnaire and some tests to take, and after I sent back my results I had to do a brief interview with her over video chat. The nice thing was she’s also autistic so she understood how people like me think differently from neurotypical folks.

      When going diagnosed as an adult for things like ADHD or autism, you definitely find yourself reflecting on a lot of things you did in the past, and I’ve found that my autism explains a ton of stuff that I either didn’t think about at all, or just assumed was me being kinda weird until recently.

      Thanks for all the responses. I’m not going to reply to all of them individually, in part because there’d be a lot of redundancy, but I appreciate people taking the time to share.

      I have depression and anxiety, with depression being the primary mind-monster right now. I take Viibryd and Abilify currently, and I see a therapist often and a physician assistant for meds about every three months. I’ve been wondering about ADHD for a while, but have also felt that the symptoms I experience could be explained by depression, so I only ended up mentioning it to my therapist yesterday, which is when they brought up my getting evaluated for it (something they refer out for).

      I recently was also told by someone who slept in the same room as me on a trip that I may (likely) have sleep apnea, which would presumably have it’s own impact on executive function. I haven’t seen a primary care physician in a while, so I haven’t addressed this or other physical ailments yet.

      I think next I’m going to ask my therapist about who they would refer to so I can start looking into that specific process while also making a doctor’s appointment for other stuff– see if maybe sleeping better helps improve some symptoms or not, as a starting point.

    Basically, Dina handed the reins to Becky, so Becky doesn’t feel naked any more?
    Or does Rabisch have it right, and one of the girls has a superpower?
