@electricbraindump hi from #uxbridge #uk ...

@electricbraindump welcome here!

@electricbraindump hi and welcome to mastodon!

One thing to highlight since it is different than other places: you can follow hashtags in addition to people so it becomes easier to meet likeminded people. I for instance saw your post because I follow the #crochet hashtag

@electricbraindump "slow fashion". love that. what kind of music are you listening to? i've been starting an owned media collection in the last year or two. enjoying buying CD's again.

[electricbraindump@mementomori.social]

@jenni thanks and a great reminder on the hashtags!

@alecryan thanks and my musical tastes vary quite widely honestly! I love the idea of going back to physical media, so far I've been building my own collection of mp3s not tied to any platforms, so it's still offline but I haven't made the full leap to physical media - maybe I should consider it again!

[electricbraindump@mementomori.social]

@PetraPhoenix thanks and appreciate the welcome!

Feeling my way through the diagnosis and how I feel about it has definitely been a rollercoaster of emotions.

[petraphoenix@beige.party]

@electricbraindump

Oh definitely!

I'm still not sure I know how to think about it, but it has already been helpful in a number of ways

[electricbraindump@mementomori.social]

@PetraPhoenix yeah, I feel like it answered a lot of questions and suspicions for me, over the years but it also opened its own book of questions as well!

Though I feel overall that's a positive thing.

[petraphoenix@beige.party]

@electricbraindump

Yes, I think it's a net positive, and it can only help to understand more about myself.

Trying to unpick what of my behaviour is masking and what is actually just me, is tricky after so long

Hello

[alecryan@mastodon.social]

@electricbraindump Oh lots of my collection has been digital downloads as well. I love Qobuz. The downloads are as high fidelity as it comes and the file types aren't tied to any platform. Plus it's not one of the major tech companies (like Apple or Google) who's getting the % cut. But I've been trying to get the physical media when I can too. Nice to be able to listen fully off my computer.

One of our kids was a *snail whisperer* when younger. It was a joy to experience with them. I’m sure I’ll be sharing some of your posts with them.

We also share some crafting and media interests. Thanks for the reintroduction!

Hello and welcome Megan I'm undiagnosed, as the thought of sorting anything out is overwhelming, and I'm just about ok in my bubble... but everyone agrees I'm not normal. I have lots of hobbies also and love snail shells
