@ ur latest post: your brain gets dopamine by doing things for other people because you're being helpful and they're appreciative, but you don't get dopamine upon simply completing tasks for yourself.

other ("""normal""") people get a lil dopamine after simply completing a task period, but if your brain can't regulate its dopamine correctly for whatever reason this happens. hence the "I literally feel like I cannot do this even though I desperately want/need to"–your brain doesn't perceive any 'reward' for completing a task, therefore doesn't motivate you to do it.

consider googling "executive dysfunction". it's very common with adhd and autism, but can also be caused by depression or various other non-neurodevelopmental causes.

Genuinely interesting stuff. Sounds about right. Been meaning to make an appointment with someone to talk about possible adhd cause hwooo boy stuff be crazy. Ironically!, I've been putting off scheduling the appointment for like... a year :)

My brain is literally so dumb I can't do anything for myself... i want a cup of tea but i physically can't get up to make one. So I ask my roommate if she wants tea and she said no. Now I guess I'm not getting one either cause for some reason I can't mentally do it unless I have the responsibility/expectation of doing it for someone else too ... what disease is this

Right now my brain is like when you bite into a hard shell taco and it cracks and breaks and all the fillings spill out and the hot sauce drips down the side of your wrist.

how do you think of a title? all i can think of is stuff like “the adventure of [name]”. Sometimes i think of cool titles and write them down, but they don’t fit the projects i actually have (though once I made a story concept based around a title lol).

I have three answers:

Use a notable line from your projects. My project's name, Die Laughing, comes from a line in a conversation two of the characters have during an important scene.

Steal. Not actually... but in the sort of way artist's steal. Although "die laughing" is a thing people say, the phrase really stuck out to me in the title of Man Overboard's song, "Love Your Friends, Die Laughing"... and it made sense to use it kind of like a subtle reference because music is such a big part of the comic!

Sometimes these things just pop into your mind (rare). My co-writer texted me the phrase, saying it was a cool name. We were originally going to use it as an in-story clothing brand that the characters wore. (our plan was to design cool stuff then we'd have easy merch ideas lol) It took us almost a year to think about using it as the name of the actual project lol

Sometimes “the adventure of [name]” IS a good title! Depends on the vibes of the project y'know?
