I was reading about it around 2005-2006, and then again in 2011, along with PTSD, which I'd already been told I probably had. the two can have symptoms that overlap.

I have Sun in Aries, widely opposed Uranus/ascendant.
Moon, Venus, and South Node in Gemini, square Mars, sextile Jupiter, trine Pluto, inconjunct Uranus/ascendant.
Mercury square Saturn.

I've discussed things with people diagnosed, and we have things in common. I used to over-explain, but have mostly stopped, since it either doesn't do any good, or hasn't been necessary, when I felt that it was. Over-thinker here, too.

I barely slept as a kid, my poor mum would be up really late with me, and then I'd be up at dawn. When I was in school, in England, she finally told me that I didn't have to be up at dawn, I was on holiday (easter). That had apparently never occurred to me before, but once she told me that, she had trouble getting me up in the morning, so that back-fired.

I used to be a big reader, but my attention span has been mostly gone for years. I think that's a thing for a lot of people, since the internet, though. I don't like not feeling grounded, but I do love it when I'm interested enough in something to actually lose myself in it for a while.

I tend to prefer following videos for certain things, and I've found out that's like a form of body-doubling. I also like to have things running when I'm doing things, for background noise (unless I really need some quiet), because it helps me to concentrate. I'm listening to music right now, and I'm trying to use it more to get myself going. I used to listen to it a lot more, but grief is a big thing now, and it can kick me and get me down, if I'm not careful.

Tonight, I asked my dad if he could be ADHD. He would be more classical, the way we taught for years that only boys were affected. he has Mars conjunct Mercury in Aries, but he is really organized. I'm not. I'm like the mistake of the family, when it comes to things like that, and I remember my sister calling me lazy, when she knew that I wasn't.

I used to be very creative, but when I went for hypnosis in 2010, she had me fill out a quick questionnaire, and told me that I'm very analytical.

I tend to fall asleep to things, otherwise my brain will overwhelm me, and I'll start crying, or panicking. Relaxation videos/audio don't always help me, because I'm too focused on relaxing/what they're telling me to do/feel. It doesn't work for me, but a woman on tiktok said something about theta waves, and the number 6, to look for, when you need to lower cortisol, so I'm going to look that up tonight.

Please, PLEASE be aware of how some curiosities are potentially going to play out. If we love being able to use astrology this way, we have to be mindful of how the impact of certain questions will be had.
