I was told I shouldn’t post memes anymore

Would it be ok if I posted in subscriptions?

Here’s my non-AI response (don’t you miss that) to my feelings of this meme:

As a kid, all I wanted to do was fit in, unfortunately I was adult size in second grade (5’2 and 140lb) and I kept growing every year after that.

I also moved every 6 months-year until middle school. Which made me the new kid and I didn’t feel cool.

I remember I was born in one state, left for a couple years, moved during the last 30 days of school. Got teased relentlessly for being from the “other state”. I got bullied and didn’t even know it.

Once a tall girl told me to give her my lunch money.

I thought, “wow she must really wanna be friends!”

So I gave her my lunch money.

Some time passes and I realize I’m hungry. I decide I want to eat lunch.

(I’m taller than her and not scared of anything)

“Oh actually I want to eat lunch,” takes my money back and sits down….

Many years later in college: omg she was trying to bully me!

So yeah, recovering people pleaser here, it is exhausting to do! I’m so happy I’m learning to listen to my body. (Who knew sleep was so important, )

Being a woman in medicine has certain connotations and difficulties on our path

People often tell us we should pick between medicine and love

You don’t have to do that, I’m happily engaged to a man who loves me for me and my intelligence and drive

They tell us it’s impossible to be in medicine and have a family, also untrue

It’s still an old boys club in many aspects and we have to work even harder to prove ourselves

There will be hospital staff that will try to belittle us while falling over themselves to help our male counterparts

We will be policed on our tone more often than not that we have to mask and put more energy into every interaction than our male counterparts who can just say what they need and it gets done

If you’re on this journey it’s difficult but it’s worth it

As women we have so much untapped power and influence and once you become a doctor you have the ability to further that

To all my lady docs: I’m so proud of you and how far you’ve come. Keep your heads up!

To all my ladies in premed: don’t let the haters convince you that this dream is for your future husband and not you, stick with it. You deserve to accomplish your dreams

Some lady docs I love: .beachgem10 .chanimal .md …and many more but I don’t have their screen names memorized 😅

Because I do believe in the power of prayer, please take a second and pray for my fiancé who went into emergency surgery. I know these things are routine, but I also know all the ways it can go wrong. Please please please pray 🙏🏻 or send good vibes or whatever 😭

If you’ve been raised by red flags or raised in an environment where you were told to study and not date and never spoken to about dating, you may have no idea how to identify green flags

Also if you were raised in chaos, peace feels unsafe, because it’s unfamiliar. Feeling unsafe feels like home and anxiety feels like butterflies.

ADHD and neurodivergent people also experience criticism at around 20,000 more negative messages by age 10 than their neurotypical counterparts, this affects our self esteem and primes us for toxic red flag partners who criticize us constantly.

If you were raised by red flags or if you were raised in a strict household and told to study and not date and nothing else, you may not realize the difference between green and red flags.

Here are some of the GREEN flags to look for in a potential partner.

I’ll be posting a longer explanation on my Sûb-stäck (same user name ) tomorrow!

Tell me some green flags you look for!

💬 Comment GREEN if you’re unlearning survival romanticized as love.

Hey ADHDers, something for you to save and forget about 😘

But seriously, the pomodoro method is how I studied in med school and made straight A’s. And I was only studying the day before the exam while others spent the entire two weeks studying.

The difference is I didn’t rote memorize and waste time copying down notes that were basically repeating the PowerPoints, I taught myself the concepts until they made sense in my mind and used as many resources as possible to check myself. If something happened in one part of the body I tried to explain what would happen in other parts in my mind so it all tied together.

If you’re neurodivergent you absolutely can become a doctor and excel at academics, you just have to learn how your brain works.

Hope you enjoy the bonus memes 🥰

Hope y’all have had a good holiday week! Auntie ADHD has been overwhelmed and resting knowing I’m about to work 19 days straight 😭

That little sweet girl had no idea the life that was ahead of her, the hardships, the toxic relationships, the pain, the growth, and just how good life could become 💕

I may have been a little girl living in fear in apartments and free lunches, now I’m a doctor with a loving home where no one yells when they’re angry. I actually own a 100 year old home and while there’s a lot of renovations it needs, it’s mine 🥹

I don’t have to eat a diet of potatoes anymore because I could get 10lb for a few bucks and that’s all I could afford. I can go to Costco and buy groceries 🥹

I still have to convince myself it’s ok to use the skincare products and eat the snack I have because I’m waiting and saving for “the bad times” it’s wild how poverty can follow you in small ways.

I’m so thankful for this life. I’m thankful for my friends and family.

I’m thankful for this page and for you for following along in my journey.

Those who have followed me since internal medicine residency knows how far I’ve come 🥹💕

I appreciate y’all 💕 thank you for being part of this whole experience

Lmaooooo this is meeee! Anyone else get overstimulated in grocery stores?

I went to Chicago with my soon to be in-laws to go to specialty Chinese grocery store.

I loved it but also felt like my entire body was bristling.

Didn’t help I just started working with a personal trainer so my muscles are sore af 😭

Hope your weekend is going well bestie 💕

Did you know high protein breakfasts are good for ADHD?

Neurotransmitters, the signals in your brain and things that people with ADHD are deficient in, are made of protein. Everyone thinks protein is just for muscles but it’s for EVERYTHING. Eating a high protein breakfasts gives your body what it needs to make those neurotransmitters

I’m high key considering Parmesan tho 🤔

What’s your favorite high protein food?

Also a bunch of memes for your dopamine bb 💕

I’m still trying to figure out how not to procrastinate all day because I’m stuck in “waiting” mode, then after the appointment I need to rest after being stressed in wait mode all day 😂

So we need multiple strategies….what strategies???

Tell me in the comments some of your strategies to manage your ADHD.

One thing I do is have “multiple sites” for things so that way I don’t have to ONLY do something in one spot, like having a toothbrush at my bathroom sink and in the shower. I have floss at my bathroom sink, but also at my living room couch and bedside table, and I have trash cans everywhere

Auntie ADHD is studying for my exam THIS THURSDAY, my brain feels staticky 🥴

Hope your day is going well and these memes give ya some dopamine bestie 💕
