ADHD Guide: Difficulty Winding Down and Relaxing

Future ADHD

[epicallyepicepilogue]

I think my time on Tumblr might be coming to an end. They keep terming my blogs and I've been wondering why I keep trying.

Yesterday, they nailed epically-epic-epicosity for "Visual depictions of sexually explicit acts (or content with an overt focus on genitalia)"

Anyone who has followed any of my blogs knows that while I post a rather healthy amount of naked or partially naked women (which is supposedly allowed if you correctly tag as "mature"?), I actively make an effort to avoid posting overtly salacious content of people's private bits, or anything hardcore. Maybe the occasional mainstream movie PG-17 sex scene gif. And I always filter tag nudity as "mature".

There are thousands of other blogs that show far worse explicit content than I do. I know this because I spend a good amount of time blocking porn blogs/bots when they follow me.

So, I think epicallyepiceponym/epicallyepicepilogue is the last stand after 13 years on the site. Once they term this blog, and it'll happen eventually, I'm done.

I've had a fun weekend!!!

I spent time winding up yarn and knitting and winding and knitting. It's magical. ✨️🖤

I'm knitting a summer tank from two of wands, and im working on a Mandala blanket and summer mesh tank. 3 projects with endless possibilities! 🙌🙌🙌😍

This yarn is from lionbrand 24/7 cotton.

What's something your OC does to wind down after a long day?

Does your OC have a favourite pillow? A favourite duvet set? A favourite cuddling toy? Blanket?

A hot cup of a tea and a bit of a writing is usually how she wounds down. She finds getting words on paper to help her get into a better headspace and allows her to relax.

She has a favorite throw blanket. She received it when she was younger, but since it was rather large, it still is quite comfy and covers at least the lower part of her body. It reminds her of her youth and happier times.

Thank you for the ask! @phyghyver

Losing steam

On 4 September I launched a software project to create an asset loader for JMonkeyEngine based on the Open Asset Importer, aka Assimp.

I've now published 2 test versions of MonkeyWrench, my LWJGL-based library. Version 0.5.1 works okay, mostly, and in many cases it is clearly superior to the standard jme3-plugins loaders. However, I have doubts whether anyone will use MonkeyWrench, and my enthusiasm for the project is waning.

After 53 days of often-intense coding effort, I have a nice little open-source project: about 5300 lines of Java code at GitHub (not counting blanks and comments). I also learned a lot, of course. But I think my main accomplishment has been to document 17 issues in JMonkeyEngine, many of which have since been solved. (My project coincided with Hacktoberfest, which is perhaps why JME had more coding activity than usual.)

I also documented 5 issues in Assimp, though I'm not optimistic they'll ever be solved. That project has a huge backlog of open issues (currently 683) and doesn't seem very active.

My original plan called for investigating the Kotlin version of Assimp, but I see now that would be a separate project. Furthermore, the Kotlin project is even less active than Assimp itself: no commits since 2020. I'd probably wind up maintaining my own fork, which would defeat the purpose. Plus I've very little interest in learning Kotlin.

It's time to start winding down the project, making sure my code is clean and my documentation is adequate, and pursuing each residual issue to the best of my ability.

🍻: What's your OC's favourite comfort ritual? How do they calm themselves down after a rough day?

"Oh. Heh. Well, I can think of a thing or two that I maybe shouldn't describe in polite company..." OOC: So! To try to describe this in polite company~ Indulgence: Of really every kind. Malika is not in the habit of denying herself things that she wants (she really can't even fathom such a thing). So if she's had a hard day and she's down on herself, she'll very quickly remind herself that there are excellent distractions out there that will keep her from focusing on pesky, uncomfortable emotions such as regret, guilt, or fear. If she can access these indulgences in places she's trespassed? Even better! Weaving: If all the alcohol has been gone through, all the food eaten, and all the attractive people thoroughly kissed and she's still feeling terrible, weaving puts in her a meditative state and keeps her from focusing on anything negative. Music: It soothes the savage beast and it soothes the savage Malika too. She will go where she can to listen to it or she will play it herself. She is unconcerned about how well she plays; she just plays for the joy of it. Trashy novels: The trashier the better really! She giggles the entire time she reads them (though she'd never admit such a thing). People watching: When it's getting late and the moon is just beginning to rise, she likes to go to whatever city is nearest, get up to the highest place she can with the best view of everything going on, and just watch people going about their lives. Mischief, chaos, and crime!: Preferably with people she adores. Coming up with schemes, cons, pranks, and plans for general misbehavior (particularly if it's against a wealthy asshole) is 100% her favorite thing to do. If she can do that with like-minded, fun people? There is nothing better for improving her mood or calming her down after a hard day.

Getting into very comfortable pajamas and cuddling with a number of extremely soft plushies is very helpful for winding down as well! Thanks for the Ask! <3

Hibari needs to take a breather. It's hard work slaughtering people all day.

Very long day, winding down with music 🎶 , I have so much packing to do in the next couple of days. It's almost time to head home. I miss home 💕 it's been five months, looking forward to being back in my little town 🥰 I hope I didn't miss my cherry blossoms 🌸

WINDING UP, WINDING DOWN

“…that which lies between stimulus and response whose function is to correlate and adjust behavior to stimulus. This third region is where our real personal values lie.” —long dead biologist and commentator Thomas Walton Galloway  This one’s about multiple and contradictory meanings. Mixed messages. Ambiguities. Winding up is simply the work of getting a clockwork mechanism to do what it does.…
