ADHD advice from ADHD people: any time you're waiting for your food to microwave YOU HAVE TO WASH DISHES WASH AS MANY AS YOU CAN THIS IS A RACE AGAINST TIME THIS IS THE ONLY TIME THIS COULD HAPPEN

okay but for the longest time the only thing that got me to do anything was to bully the SHIT out of me. I mean that literally. I would be so mean to myself I'd give myself anxious diarrhea. And then when I worked on myself it stopped working and that's when I got help.

surely another trinket will cure me

I don't want silence, I don't want space.

Literally lay on top of and smother me. Nobody can ever overshare, and I'm never too busy for a good trauma dump.

I'm so exhausting.

I'm so tired.

let’s be real the pressure to use AI as an adult is exactly what they said the pressure the do drugs as a teenager would be like but the people that told us that caved immediately for the AI and definitely did not just say no

my job literally demanded that we use it and we all had to acknowledge it

ADHD

Just got diagnosed a few weeks ago with ADHD. I am a 30 year old woman and finally got someone to take me seriously and diagnose me. Here are all the symptoms I had for everyone who cares (maybe there is one or two)

• Can not sit still

• Struggled in classes my whole life

• Failed classes

• Openly wept in school because of how overwhelmed I was

• Can not stay on subject

• Excessive talking

• Small bursts of motivation/excitment

• Paralyzing bouts of inability to get up and do anything

• Being so exhausted at the end of the day I pass tf out every single night

• Overthink everything

• Struggle to make/keep friends

• No motivation even in things I enjoy

There is more. I mourned what could have been for about a week and I am now on a stimulant. I'm not sure how effective it is but that mixed with my new antidepressant (yay?) is making me more direct and brave but it sucks not being able to drink coffee anymore. I don't really have the desire to drink anymore so that's pretty cool and my appetite is lower so that is nice. Just not looking forward to fighting with my pharmacy every month for refills and for the constant appointments to figure out my dosage. I randomly feel incredibly sad that this was missed my whole life and that I have to chemically change myself to be acceptable for society. Anyways, here's to the future.

update: It's not like I've magically fixed all of my problems but I can actually start and finish tasks now and I'm actually going through my to do lists. Naps are weird though because I absolutely crash and sleep through alarms but I can still nap then sleep at the end of the day. I just can't sleep in? I also can't tolerate heat but the two of these put together seem to have taken away my monthly big scaries and every so often I feel a rush of joy that does not have a crash like normal. Zoloft made me a robot but I actually can feel joy. I'm actually looking forward to the future and I'm being a lot nicer to myself which is out of character for me. I'm actually really cool when my brain is not on self-destruct.

Jennifer's Body (2009) Obsession (2026)

[existennialmemes]

I am no longer explaining my chronic illnesses. I'm only ominously referencing them like I'm a fantasy realm NPC dropping plot hooks:

I am besieged by the affliction

The ritual was successful, but it has drained me. I need time to recuperate.

I can't do that, because of The Curse

Dark forces are conspiring within me. I must conserve my strength to battle them.

Unseen foes assault me. I cannot strike back with blows, but I can lessen their influence by consuming certain alchemical rites.

[oilsykes]

anyone else's chronic illness range from a dull pain some OTC medicine can fix (or really bad gas I dissociate until I have a nice lil toot) to on the floor screaming and swearing with a bone sticking out of the side of your leg? Or just me.
