PLEASE The Oscars do not deserve the cast of Parasite

People will watch things like parasite and squid game, media that blatantly calls out capitalism and the effect that it has on the lower class and still come out of it like "wow I can't believe poor people are morally bad because they're poor and there's no other outside influence"

An interesting fact, Julie Bell used back then to literally look like a living version of her art :

It's always the "it'll only take a moment" argument.

So this thing and keep your vegetables fresh longer. It's only 5 minutes work.

Do this every day to keep your house clean, only 15 minutes each day.

Do this little thing every day to improve your energy, it's 10 minutes every morning.

Want to lose weight? Just a 30 minute work out every day.

But all that shit adds up, you know?

Suddenly it's an hour each day. And the "5 minutes" is bullshit. They don't tell you it's 10 minutes preparing and 5 minute cleanup. Yeah, 30 minute work-out. But I've got to change into something else and I've got to shower afterwards.

And then you lose 2 hours a day. On top of all the other things you have to do. So when do you relax? When do you sit down and watch TV? Read a book? Take a bath?

And if doing that workout is relaxing to you? Awesome. But you're lucky, bc for a lot of people it isn't. And I'm tired of people telling me it is. I could manage that 30 minute work out, tbh. I could. But the changing outfit, the shower after, and/or the getting up earlier to do it. I can't do that. I just can't. Stop telling me it's "easy". It fucking isn't.

[livingthatadhdlife]

Cooking healthy takes so much time. There's those videos out there "10 minute recipe" but then they don't count the time you need to cut the vegetables or whatever. They'll be like "throw it all in the pot and cook the food" yeah. Thanks. I'll be cutting veggies for an hour first. Or they've got those ingredients you can't find, or you need to go to 3 different stores to get everything. Like onion powder??? They don't sell that here. I think it's something very american? And the commute to the gym, for me even having to carry a bag with me if something that with holds me. I don't like carrying a lot of heavy things. And I like to link stuff. So I would only want to go to the gym if I could get groceries on my way back. But that's not really practical if it have a gym bag and no car.

Exactly - I have even started getting those ready-made meal prep boxes where you already have measured ingredients and the recipes. Even with the ingredients ready for you, my cook time is never what it says on the recipe because prepping takes ages, is convoluted and involves washing so many dishes (I actually started timing and nope, screw your 15min-recipe). And then portions are so small that I end up having to cook more frequently. So it is back to cooking and mealprepping. Then again, it is impossible for me to make sure I get enough sleep and eat at least one hour before a workout while at an extremely stressful job where I sometimes have to do unplanned late hours. And like you say, I can't always run around with a gym-bag if I am running other errands and bundling tasks - that is if I manage to do extra rounds of laundry for gym wear (like I have time to do my normal laundry regularly lol). My gym coach actually said that if I did not get at least 8hrs of sleep after my specific work out (45min cardio, 30min muscles), I should not bother coming in the next day. Welp, I have weeks where I'm lucky if I manage 6hrs so see you never. Frankly, I do not think many neurotypical people have a genuine understanding of time and planning because there is no way in hell they have this level of awareness of how much time certain tasks actually take. The only reason I get overwhelmed is honestly because I am extremely aware of how many small steps I need to take to complete a task such as 'work out twice per week for 1hr each time'. It's been a soul-crushing lockdown so far

[livingthatadhdlife]

I've thought about those mealboxes. But they're too expensive if it's just for one. Thanks to the mealime app I do manage to cook decently. But there's days that I don't manage that for days. Like, I've got a late online meeting Thursday. So that will derail things. I'm meeting my friend in Sunday, so I will probably get pizza that day. It's always something that messes up your structure/system and derails your progress. And on some days all those things feel small. But the next day carrying two bags feels insurmountable.

A big part of ADHD (and Graves' disease, which can give similar symptoms) is feeling like it's your fault somehow.

That if you did just try harder or put "more effort in", you'd somehow stop struggling.

There can be times where you're at the absolute end of your rope, emotionally and physically exhausted, and you'll still feel like pushing yourself because you "could" be productive right now.

I'm here to tell you to STOP. When you reach those moments, do not suffer in an attempt to get more work done - let's be honest, if you're in that state, the work you do isn't going to reflect your capability anyway.

Right now, you might feel like "productivity" is defined by working or studying or something similar.

This is a lie. Right now, productivity is defined by self-care. Don't try to push the exhaustion aside, even if there are deadlines on the horizon. Right now, focus on keeping YOU healthy enough that you don't end up breaking down. If you've already broken down, now's the time to stop it from happening again.

Drink some cold water, and eat some food. This does NOT have to involve cooking either! Have a microwave meal. Eat cereal out of a mug or a glass. Don't have the executive function available to make a sandwich? Eat the ham slices and bread by themselves.

Can't find the energy to wash up, but you need dishes? Rinse a dish with boiled water. No, it's not the same, but it'll do for now, just for the moment.

The washing up and the cleaning and the deadlines and the stress can WAIT.

Productivity isn't just stuff that affects other people. It's also doing stuff that helps YOU.

You won't be able to properly do the other stuff if your body and mind are shutting down.

ADHD Gothic:

Listening to a podcast and realize you weren’t paying attention to a bit.

You go back 30 seconds but somehow yet again you zone out for the specific bit you missed last time.

You are now serious about getting it this time, you pause the tv you were watching in the background while listening and close the text you were typing at the same time.

Now it’s just you and the podcast. You go back 30 seconds, and hit play. It’s just 30 seconds of focusing, you tell yourself, you can do this. Suddenly you realize that thinking about wanting to hear the podcast has distracted you from hearing the actual bit.

You go back 30 seconds.

Forgot what to post this when I posted on my other sites. How fitting.

[mybrainisanidiot]

I hate that because of ADHD I have too choose between self care or productivity. I never seem to have enough energy for both.

Gavin Reed and ADHD - combined type

Inspiration

Sorry if the letters keep changing size/position, it's the first time I use this format

I mixed fanon Gavin with canon Gavin bc they both share traits that could be related to ADHD, I also like to think as both characters as a whole and not separated versions.

Reed900 headcanon: Gavin is undiagnosed, but RK900 realizes pretty quickly that he has ADHD, and immediately looks for all the info existent about it online and becomes an ADHD expert within hours (part of the reason why he's always "scanning" Gavin, asking how he feels, making sure he has eaten, slept, etc.) Nines tries to convince him go to a professional for several days, but Gavin is stubborn af, he has coped by himself his whole life and refuses to ask for help.

RK900 is now equiped to deal with Gavin's disorder, with he only exception that he can't prescript meds. He respects his decision and doesn't press further, but tells him that as long as he keeps refusing clinical attention, he'll be his personal counselor and take care of him, (using the excuse of being his partner and improving his efficace at work) to which Gavin protests less than he normally would he's a bottom and a very hot android just self proclaimed as his care taker, ofc he's into it.

I have been formally diagnosed with ADHD. The objective of these posts is to spread ADHD awareness via relating to fictional characters with practical illustrations of the symptoms. This is by no means a way of self diagnostic. I hope to spread a better understanding of ADHD and lead those who identify the symptoms in themselves to look for professional help.

I’ve noticed I get pretty bold when it comes to talking about things I can do, but when I need to deliver...oops.
