I seriously do not know how I functioned before I had my admin assistant. I’m sending her a holiday/Christmas care package and may have gone overboard but there are not enough words for how amazing she is so I am expressing my gratitude in chocolate and gift cards.

Oh my god how would I even decide???

Distinguished Speaker of the Year 2025! What’s something you’re proud of this year? Name your award. Even if it’s “I survived,” in this climate that’s an accomplishment 💜

Since I recently been reminded that you can just buy trophies, I’ve bestowed the Adaptability and Resilience Award on my husband. His acceptance speech is as follows: “Oh my god, you actually did that? This thing is huge! Why did you buy this?”

This is the first Friday in over a month that I wasn't either teaching a CE course or had some kind of hours-long consultation situation. I...do not know what to do with myself.

Gotta love getting an email from an organization that's like "Hey we need a response from you ASAP because we have a problem" followed up 10 minutes later with a "Please disregard, that email was not intended for you" Today is a roller coaster.

Last thought on this I promise (she said, like a liar) “My ungrateful asshole child won’t talk to me” Damn whoever raised them must’ve done an awful job

“I’m done being a doormat” in this context feels like something someone who has never respected a single boundary ever in their life would say

Telehealth Activity: Wall of Expression Today we have another telehealth activity! A therapist shared the Wall of Expression in a therapist Facebook group I am in, and I found it to be such a handy resource that I am sharing it with you now. Wall of Expression is a resource provided by ChildLine,…

Sister Wives rant, mute this thread if you don't want to see it Kody is on an "apology tour," claiming he wants to "extend an olive branch" to his ex-wives. Is he sorry he hurt his kids? Is he sorry he alienated the wives? Is he sorry that he blamed the wives for how he treated his children? Nox3

Just saw someone typo “gender dysphoria” as “gender dystopia”

Watch Home Alone and then Home Alone 2 and drink every time one of the robbers should be dead for a fun time* *Not medical or mental health advice, just a silly post

This massive mansion estate in Sioux Falls is for sale priced at $5.7 million if anyone was planning to buy me a Christmas present. There’s still time.

Psychology Today has once again made me essential! Shameless self-plug time, as they shared an excerpt from my upcoming ADHD book www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/neur...

My neighbors put up an inflatable nativity set and the way the wind is hitting Mary it looks like she’s shaking Baby Jesus to death 😬

So I just finished teaching a CE course and my colleague and business partner, Joe, did an interview with me for part of it. He's a cyber security and technology expert and I missed the opportunity to introduce him as a "texpert" and I regret everything

Awesome accessibility resource for those who need it!!

Husband accidentally sent me a five minute voice memo of him trying to find where he parked his car. I listened to the whole thing because that’s what I signed up for when I made my wedding vows.

I have some wine bottles that I painted in my kitchen….

My grandmother would be absolutely horrified by this

Just got a spam email with the subject line “Are AI therapists quietly making the mental health crisis worse” and in case you’re wondering, the answer is no, they’re very loudly making it worse

Waiting for a return call so I picked up a # I didn't recognize. Someone claiming to be an attorney says he owns my business name and he's got a summons for me to stop using my website URL. I laughed loudly & said, "No you don't,you fucking liar,"and hung up. Can these scammers get real jobs please?

@trans.bsky.social I’m trying to tell you that you are an awesome badass but BlueSky keeps giving my reply an error. So I’m making my own post about it.

I am not doing great with this 4:30 sunset thing 😩

Response Requested regarding the duplication of your humorous comment but expressed with inferior execution making it objectively less funny.

Hey I copied your joke but made it worse, get back to me

As a midwesterner I am required by law to say the following: “Oh wow it’s really comin down out there! The roads are real slick!”

Now I lay me down to sleep…

Friends, if you are a mental health provider who specializes in ADHD, a company I create CEs with is looking for speakers. Let me know if you want me to get you in touch.

I’m starting the International Amy Awards. Everyone who likes this post gets one. This is real and serious and not a commentary on anything.

Do they give Oscars for performance during CE courses because Armani hopped into my shred box and peed while I was lecturing earlier and I did not break eye contact with the camera

I always giggle when I get an email, reply immediately, and get an out of office response. Was contacting me the last thing you did before you went on vacation? I hope it launched your time off on a good note.

I had a really vivid and intense dream about someone I went no contact with over a decade ago, closer to two now, that I just had to tell him he might be autistic. Well, I know you still creep on my socials, so here’s your sign to take a RAADS-R. Do not send me an update.

High School Amy would have lost her MIND over this
