sometimes the only closure you will get is knowing that everything you did was done earnestly and out of love

“Cats don’t actually love you”

A cat is a small creature in the middle of the food chain that is fully aware that you are a very large thing that could stomp its head in at any moment and yet it chooses to rest its tiny little head on your leg for a nap and spreads out on the floor near you exposing its belly and its most sensitive organs. It brings dead mice and bugs to you to share food.

Don’t you get it? This tiny thing trusts you. It wants to help you too. It licks your leg thinking that it’s helping. It kneads on you to find comfort. It shares its body warmth with you in the cold and gives you your space in the heat. It hisses at other mammals it sees outside including other cats in an effort to protect its family.

Cats love you so so much. But they will keep trying to eat plastic.

The real thing with ADHD is not "I forgot", but that forgetting is this ongoing process. I remembered! And then I forgot.

At ten this (hypothetical) morning I remembered that I have a meeting at six. And then from 11 through 3 I worked on other stuff and had zero thoughts about that meeting. Maybe even thought about what I was gonna do with my evening at home. Got attached to the idea of taking the time to make a good dinner, maybe play some video games.

And then at three I said, "Oh! Fuck!" and remembered again, hopefully long enough to set an alarm. And then I went to the bathroom and remembered that I need to clean the counter and spent twenty minutes cleaning the bathroom and went to get a snack and then at five I said, "OH! FUCK!" and had to scramble to dress like a real adult and get out the door.

It isn't one clean forgetting. It's a constant process of forgetting and then, with an exhausting adrenaline spike, remembering. And then forgetting. Baby, I can forget the same thing more times in a day than you ever forgot your parents' anniversary.

yeah...

just today my mom told me to turn off the lights and in the time between processing this instruction and getting up to turn off the lights, it slipped my mind entirely.

she reminded me...and i proceeded to forget by the time i got to the next light switch.

I think a lot of people can't quite get their heads round the idea that it is not just possible but common for us to forget what we're doing while in the process of doing it.

It's why alarms and reminders don't always help - I still have to keep it in mind between switching off the alarm and getting up to do the thing and actually finishing the thing, and that is unfortunately plenty enough time for it to fall out of my brain again without me noticing.

A few days ago, i noticed i was out of [blank]. I thought to myself, hmm, i always realise after i go to the store that i forgot to get [blank], why don't i make a list- in the time it took to get the paper and pen i had forgotten what [blank] was. i thought ahh hell, I'll just make a list of everything i need, maybe I'll remember, and even if i don't it'll be useful. I make said list, take extra care to look around my house and make sure i notice everything I'm low on.

I left the list at home.

Once again, i am forced to wander the store isles like I'm playing an indie mystery game, examining items to see if they trigger some revelation. I am my own private investigator.

[wholeheartedsuggestions]

fall in love with small, beautiful things– with sunrises on foggy mornings, warm drinks on cold days, hot soup for a sore throat, cat and dog sightings, long hugs, your favorite songs playing over public speakers, days marked as special on the calendar, compliments from strangers, getting a new shirt you look good in, with your own laughter

If EVERYBODY in your life hates your significant other then they are the problem. If it is one or two people like a family member you have a turbulent relationship with and one friend who’s always been kind of jealous, maybe they just hate your success. But most of the time that is not the case and the people who are closest to you and love you and have had your back for years probably know when your new relationship is toxic and/or doomed.

[byjove]

“My friends don’t talk to me anymore because of my boyfriend.” Who do you talk to now, other than him?

[naamahdarling]

YES. A MILLION TIMES YES.

Inverse also true! If your partner dislikes most of the people you are close to or gets really pouty about you spending some time with them and keeping in touch, that's a huge red flag.

If you don't have people over anymore or don't take your partner places because your partner's behavior is embarrassing or noxious, something is very very wrong.

[adventurous-nerd]

So this is crystal clear to me now, in hindsight because, y'know.. But also add on to that list 'I don't want to talk about my relationship with my nearest and dearest because I feel like I have to defend it' is also something to look out for.
