I'd make a knife fight animation just to make them kiss at "guess what man, I'll pin you to the wall"

sent my dad this article about the rise of audhd that talks about new diagnostic understanding of how they're linked and anecdotes from people with both and what their life is like and he was like. "there's nothing I haven't heard before, I already know that people have feelings" like... okay king. miss the fucking point.

Having to explain to my mom that 5min crafts is a content farm/what that is. That sure they have some genuine hacks, but a lot are genuinely dangerous and bad

It's like I'm not trying to be the parent, but I've been on the internet daily since I was 9 years old and you respectively have only been on it for maybe 8 years? Consistently? And only on Facebook. Like man the shit I have seen has aged me a lot more mentally than I care to admit.

It's so hard too bc I know I should like a know it all/conspiracy freak when I tell her not to get a reddit bc she's gonna get sucked into a WS cult and get radicalized, or when I tell her Facebook reels is the same as tiktok. Which she has continuously forbade me to have since it came out (bc evil chinese company. It's okay when it's an evil American company though). That she needs to be careful and not just believe whatever she sees, but it's like for once I DO know more and I DO need to be the adult.

Like I remember having so many fucking talks to get her out of that SAVE THE CHILDREN shit and debunking the wayfair shit, and the Hillary Clinton shit, and all this shit. I constantly am telling her "nope that's antisemitism in disguise, heres why" ab stupid theories and shit and why they're harmful and it's like I want to fucking scream

Idk where I was going with this but like god I'm tired

One of the funniest headcanons I have about steven/d2b is that steven didnt smoke weed (not because he was morally opposed, i just think he was employed by the city and they drug tested) but after the accident happens he smokes weed copiously

So I have been dealing with constant exhaustion for years and years. Ever since I started college I’ve struggled to stay awake in lectures, and even after college it’s been a struggle to stay awake at work. If anything it got worse at work, especially when I got promoted to full time mid-pandemic. I started having an energy drink every school and later work day, just trying to keep myself awake.

For a while I thought “well hey, I started taking melatonin when I started college because I struggle to fall asleep, so maybe thats it”. Stopped taking it for a month, only change was that it got progressively harder to fall asleep again. :’)

Then I realized that Hey. Maybe this is an understimulation thing? Because classes were structured differently in grade school, then went much more lecture heavy in college. Which was a great hypothesis, but I continued to be on a non-stimulant treatment for adhd that still wasn’t working.

But there was also the issue that I was this exhausted even at home, in calls with friends I would be literally falling asleep while trying to hold a conversation, read a post, or watch something with them. Things that should be stimulating enough, and on my weekends when I should have enough sleep to be awake. Plus I always had headaches.

Last week after a year of being with my current psych, we finally managed to get me started on a low dose of Adderall!

Of course this meant stopping my energy drinks, so I wasn’t mixing two stimulants. I don’t need a caffeine induced anxiety attack thank you.

And I did notice an immediate change at work! Yes I was tired, yes I was headachey, but I wasn’t fighting for my life to stay awake! Even in boring 2 hour long meetings with the lights turned low for a presentation, I kept my eyes open the whole time! I was even having an easier time with starting tasks when I realized I needed to do them! (Compare to literally just that Monday where it took me an hour to get myself to go downstairs to chop some potatoes I’d already washed for cooking)

But goddamn did I feel exhausted and like total shit. It took me until day 4 to realize that my current problem and the reason I was always so exhausted on my weekends were one in the same.

This fucking idiot was going through the start of caffeine withdrawal every week when I got my two days off work and didn’t drink an energy drink. 8′)

It’s now been almost a full week since I stopped having energy drinks at work and I have never felt this awake and alert on my weekend. I ALMOST felt the need to crawl back into bed for a nap yesterday, but it passed and I did manage to get some stuff done.

For now I’ve been instructed not to take the medication on my weekends when I don’t “need to work” (lol, lmao) but at least not being in caffeine withdrawal is already doing wonders for how I feel on the weekend.

I'm blown away fr. I've been insanely productive today and can now actually feel good to give myself a bit of a viddy gaem break before continuing to be productive for a bit more and then calling it a day. Like I fucking hit it out of the park today!!!

Good job me ~

I cannot comprehend the idea of just, not being tired? I wake up and at most have a brief period of “oh, I’m awake” a few minutes after waking up, and then I crash. I usually don’t even have that much. I’m just always tired, always exhausted, and i just live like this. Apparently there are people out there who have hours of not being exhausted? What does that even feel like? Even if I have energy to physically do something I somehow manage to also feel exhausted the whole time. Sometimes my body has some energy but my mind never does. I can’t remember the last time I felt energized on every level. I think I felt it as a kid sometimes, but I haven’t felt it since before I was even a teenager. I have many days where I don’t even need to do anything incredibly physically exhausting, but even on those days my brain is fighting against the ever present lack of energy. Literally how does it even feel to not have this every moment you’re awake? The only time I feel unburdened by this is while I’m asleep and dreaming, and it’s hard to remember that feeling after I’m awake.
