#it's the executive dysfunction innit

[pondering-the-blorbs]

i'm like a real life version of when you tell your sim to do something but they just keep standing up and sitting back down and not doing the thing

[blorboresidue]

also i was like paying more than i needed to for my prescriptions bc i just never set things up for home delivery and i was trekking to walgr*ens (evil) every month for my meds. which weren't that expensive but still it's like. adhd tax

The urge to simply Not is real today. I really wanna Don’t.

[subconscious-solipsist]

I really must get up and go shower I have to get up for work early tomorrow morning but alas I cannot make myself stand up, instead I’ve spent $100 on merch I didn’t need and am making this post

[honestlydarkprincess]

I haven’t technically done anything today but I’ve been so stressed about the things I’m not doing I am utterly exhausted

[weirdly-specific-but-ok]

It's the executive dysfunction, innit, babagrigios.

“I HAVE SO MUCH SHIT TO DO OMG OMG OMG I HAVE SO MANY THINGS TO KEEP TRACK OF SO MUCH SHIT TO DO I HAVE SO MANY RESPONSIBILITIES OMG OMG WHAT AM I DOING”

[classicoatcakes]

anyone else with executive dysfunction or whatever feel really good after brushing the absolute shit out of their teeth like brushing really REALLY well like past what u regularly do

or just doing more than what you usually do when it comes to any self-care measure?

I want to play videogames but I am too busy being bored

[findyourspace]

fog lights

for a long time there

i felt like i was finally

speeding through my recovery

pedal to the floor, full steam ahead

for the first time in a long time

i could see the road ahead of me

and i don’t know when it happened

but i must’ve take a wrong turn,

or read the map wrong

because lately,

everything’s felt like the car’s stalled out

on what used to be a steady incline

and i can’t escape the feeling of

falling backwards down a mountain

while i beg for forward motion to return

and it seems like

no matter how hard i try

or fight

i’ll always be stuck,

with no way out of the fog

that surrounds every corner of

my thoughts.

Depressed people, how do I explain this feeling to mentally healthy people?

I sometimes feel like my brain is numb and not “connected” to my body. so like I am perfectly in control of my body so getting up and moving around and eating and things are all fine, but any thought or mental processing involved is very slow and hard and feels out of sync somehow. Like i’m sitting and typing this now with no problem and I’ve had a shower and eaten properly etc but reading this back to check for mistakes is hard and so is thinking of the right words and thinking about what I’m going to do later or tomorrow or next week doesn’t make sense. It feels really weird and I hate it but I don’t know how to describe it without sounding stupid. I know factually that my brain is connected to my body but it just doesn’t feel right and it makes it really hard to do my work and behave normally. Like i forget how to make a cup of tea or what time it is and get really self conscious if I have to be out in pubic because I can’t remember if i’m behaving normally, staring at people too much, wearing the right clothes etc. 

I get a similar feeling but the opposite way round where my mind feels “connected” so I can think and talk and read and write properly etc but my body is slow and lethargic and I find it harder to do things like eating and washing myself. I’ve seen people talking about this before but less about the first feeling? 

when It’s very bad then both happen at the same time and all I can really do is watch TV but that is very rare and it hasn’t happened again since I started my medication. Idk if this makes any sense sorry it all just makes me feel very dumb and it would help to know if others feel this.

[ Roleplaying Habits! ]

when you are writing a reply, how much ahead in the thread do you plan?

I don’t plan anything wym lmao. 

Joking aside, I try to plan at least a little bit ahead, but I’m not great at planning for the long term in threads. 

is there ever been a time when you’ve had to drop a roleplaying partner because you’ve found their writing style exhausting?

Yep! I don’t do it often, since I tend to try and figure out how people write before I follow / follow back, but one or two times I’ve had to drop people.

what is your biggest obstacle to writing every day, if time doesn’t count?

It’s the ADHD, innit - for real, though, the executive dysfunction is normally the road block keeping me from writing. I promise I want to reply when I don’t, but the brain matter just isn’t there.
