the way people think about things on here is wild. I went into the comments of a post so I know this is my own fault but they put a tldr on something three sentences long "for our friends with short attention spans" girl that's not a good thing. even if you know and understand why your attention span is short and it's something largely out of your control you have to work on that. that's like. adult skills. you need the attention span to do boring, repetitive, distasteful tasks because there are boring repetitive distasteful tasks that need to be done if you are to live comfortably that don't feel as good as the thing you want to do but have to be done anyway.

#.txt #a lot of people on here treat neurodivergence and mental illness as a curse wrought upon them by god for which there is no means #of existing under the throes of like girl I think you need to put on your big boy pants and realise that radical acceptance of symptoms #isn't going to clean your toilet #you identify symptoms to mitigate the ways in which they impact your life not so that you have something else to stew about #your symptoms arent your friends who have been with you this whole time they are things that make it hard for you to live #as someone with ocd it's actually really easy to see your symptoms as the means by which you need to experience the world #when actually you're just being obsessive compulsive on account of the disorder #I don't need to indulge my paranoia I need to find a way to kill it so that I can function around other people for long stretches of time #so that groceries and work can be done
