The urge to be like what if I made it look different (e.g switching from dark to light mode or changing the text colour) when trying to write a fic to see if it will make a difference in my productivity. I really want to work on my WIPs but I just don’t and it frustrates me so much!!!! Stupid, stupid brain!!! Be productive and do something!!!! You like writing, why wont you even do that!?!

Turned that mini skein of energized southdown babydoll singles into a ball wrapped aroound a nice rock to weight it so that i could go back to knitting my sock as soon i got to work. Set it down for a moment and it vanished into thin air.

So now im just spinning enough to fill a temporary cop, knitting it off the spindle, and then spinning more.

I love how I cannot for the life of me remember to make phone calls or pay bills but I can at the drop of a hat summarize the plot of an obscure late 80s cartoon of which I’ve only seen two episodes in my childhood with little prompting and no double checking of myself and be completely accurate right down to the names of the factions.

Unless the way your ADHD works means that if there is a deadline, your executive functioning works better....... Then, the deadline is TOMORROW!

STOP THINKING THERE IS A DEADLINE. THERE IS NO DEADLINE. TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND TAKE YOUR TIME.

“If you have time to watch Netflix you have time for a side hustle” my side hustle is relaxing so that my body and brain can heal from by this nose-to-the-grindstone bullshit. I refuse to feel guilty for being a human with the need to relax sometimes. my side hustle is no.

reminder that adhd medication isn't a luxury or preference, but a lifesaving medication. a 10 year long study in the usa showed that, when properly medicated, the rate of car crashes people with adhd get into goes down significantly--men's rate drops by 38%, and women's by 42%. the med shortage, denial of meds by doctors, rising prices, and the "war on drugs" has killed--with such a car dependent society, not driving frequently isn't an option, which means we need better healthcare and need it now.

people will hear you talk about struggling with mental illness and say “you can do anything if you just put your mind to it”. brother what part of the body does the mental illness happen in. what do you think is the problem

My mom has never believed me when I tell the truth. Ever. Not when I was bullied in most years of public school (I was in Catholic school until the end of 2nd grade), never when I meant to do something, but something else came up. And she has the gall to tell me to let it go. What happened to parents supporting and believing their kids? When I got to my room, I legit screamed into my mattress. Last night, I left the milk for the espresso machine out because I had to use the washroom and would've put it away when I was done, but she, of course, didn't believe me. I'm so done

Why does everything have so many damn steps? lol

And the steps *breed*.

I've done so much this week, but it still feels like I'm no closer to done.

Possibly further away from done even?
