I few weeks ago I started herbal infusions again. I haven’t done one of these since around 2019 and had the time of my life. I like jars, I like herbs and I like making things with herbs. Sitting amongst a pile of rosemary, mint and thyme was also just calming ♡( ◡‿◡ ).

They’ll be ready to use in another three weeks. I do slow infusions because it works better with my time and it also means I don’t smash through a new fixation and then get bored of it. I’ve learnt to try and pace out all of my interests so I it doesn’t consume my every waking-non-working moments and then gets neglected for another year. Knowing that I have a high probability that I have ADHD and Autism (based on years of a variety of “peer reviews” and self-diagnoses tests such as the RAADS) has helped me take a better look at how I am and how I can work on the parts of myself I struggle with. And this has provided valuable growth for me, even if it does turn out that it’s just all from my OCD, depression and anxiety.

At the moment, I don’t think getting a clinical diagnosis will help me and so I’ve been putting it off because of how difficult it will be. It’s hard sometimes, but I’ve been doing it my whole life and am a bit too stubborn to know if it’s to my detriment or not (⌒_⌒;).
