forever obsessions: halsey, sabrina carpenter, taylor swift, chappell roan, twenty one pilots, olivia rodrigo, dan and phil, friends, laufey, stardew valley, etc.
this is your gentle reminder to stop fighting against your adhd and instead structure your life around it
buy a pack of chapsticks and put one in the pocket of all of your coats and jackets because you always forget to bring one and chapped lips is sensory hell
leave important things where you can see them. if they go in a box or a drawer you will forget they exist
put any appointments or deadlines in your phone calendar As Soon As you get them. set a reminder for a week before, a day before, an hour before, as many as you need as often as you need them.
when that little voice in your head says "i dont need to write that down, ill remember it" that is the devil talking!!! write it down anyway!!
plan for down time. have a few hours at the end of every day to just do fun stuff like engage in your hyperfixations. even if you didnt get all of your work done that day, have the rest anyway. you probably spent the whole day beating yourself up for not doing what you Should be doing, so you still need the break.
if you never eat vegetables because its too much effort to chop and cook them, get the frozen or canned shit. it doesnt go off for ages and you just have to microwave it. theres no point buying fresh vegetables if they just keep going off and being left to rot in the bottom of your fridge
if you struggle to decide what to have for dinner every day, take the decision out of it. choose a set of meals and eat those on rotation until you get sick of them, then choose some new ones and do it again.
its not stupid if it works! our brains literally have a chemical deficiency. you are allowed to accommodate yourself. go forth and stop making your life more difficult than it has to be because "this shouldn't be this hard". it is hard, so make it easier.
This would have had me crucified on tumblr 10 years ago but maybe we are ready for this conversation now:
If you are a socially anxious person, you have to socialize. Your panic/anxiety attacks will only get worse and trigger more frequently if you constantly avoid contact with The Public. Not saying that you need to be a social butterfly- but there is a genuine problem with not being able to order your own meal at a restaurant. And it cannot be solved by always having someone else do it for you.
This is a PSA to about 3/4s of the Portland Youth populace
everyone who reblogs this and is like "I ordered my own tea this week" or "I only barfed once when I had to give a presentation'- you are doing amazing sweetie. Have patience with yourself, you are relearning a skill so difficult that people get 4 year degrees to do it professionally.
I hope this message reaches all the neurodiverse and disabled people who were made to feel like their abuse was justified because they had "behaviors".
While this message is true for every child, you are who I had in mind when I wrote it.

hii my dear clikkies!! can't believe it's almost month two of eurosummer, which can only mean it's also month two of the world famous bingo event. we're continuing the same dynamic as we did in june, and doing a monthly bingo card. remember that you can join in whenever you'd like, and skip a month or two if needed
these are the festivals coming up:
rock werchter 🇧🇪 - july 4
main square 🇫🇷 - july 5
nos alive 🇵🇹 - july 9
madcool 🇪🇸 - july 10
colours of ostrava 🇨🇿 - july 15
electric castle 🇷🇴 - july 17
paléo nyon 🇨🇭 - july 21
osheaga 🇨🇦 - july 31
here you can find the more detailed instructions to the event, but here is the main idea: fill a bingo card (ideally 5x5 but you can make it any size you'd like) with any guesses or predictions you have. you can use this bingo card generator site (if the site doesn't work, i’ve included a blank card under the cut that you can edit on sites like canva or your own camera roll for ease of use) or any other way to create it. if you have a free space in the middle of your card, feel free to name it whatever you’d like. please remember to screenshot your card and post it under the tag #clique bingo night
you can post your bingo card starting today up until july 4th 10:00 am EDT / 7:00 am PDT (time zone converter here!!). after the shows you can cross off the items you got right, and we can all compare how well we did
like last time, i'm including a few prompts under the cut for you to think about predictions to fill your squares in with, in case you're blanking about what to add. (you can always see what others have added to theirs as well for inspiration). here is my bingo board:
bingo card prompts/ideas
will the boys have different hair/facial hair? or will it stay the same?
does the setlist stay the same?
what songs could they add to/cut from the setlist?
