Getting There

I'm here to help you survive

[vero-niche]

adhd will get you thinking "i should make this doctors appointment" every day for 7 months and counting

[vero-niche]

none of us are making those appointments huh

[wholeheartedsuggestions]

you can start anytime.

you can brush your teeth in the middle of the day. you can wash the dishes at 2am. you can do things outside the normal times assigned by society.

[let-me-iiiiiiiin]

You can lay on top of the blankets. You can lay under the bed sheets directly on the mattress. You can sit in the shower. You can put your hair up and wash your body, or you can sit on a chair beside and just wash your hair. And for that matter— you can bring a chair into the bathroom. You can go in to wash yourself waist down only and get out right after. You can go to bed in a coat. You can lie on the floor. You can just sweep the floor— no need to mop if you cannot.

You can do things in so many different ways with so many different adjustments; it's worth it to approach any mundane task with an eye of "how do I make this easier on myself? How do I make it bearable?"

Life is already hard. Don't make it harder on yourself with arbitrary, unnecessary rules. Ask yourself— "Can't I just..?" You might be surprised by how much you don't mind the things that usually bring lots of exasperation and mental fatigue if only you decide to give yourself a helping hand

i clean the bathroom in stages. one day ill do the sink. the other, the toilet. ill spray down the shower in the morning and then scrub it in the evening and wash myself right after. you do not have to do it all at once.

but please do not lay directly on the mattress. there may be fiberglass in it.

the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible

because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person 

from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating

it’s fucked up.

What is the most important step a man can take?

The next.

I think part of the pushback about this is the idea that, to “redeem” bad people, their victims must first forgive them for unforgivable acts.

This is false. No one is obligated to forgive you. You can learn from your mistakes and become the best, kindest person on earth, and the people you’ve hurt still won’t forgive you, and you’ll have to accept that. And that doesn’t mean you aren’t allowed to grow. Because we aren’t just “pure” or “sinful”, we’re complex.

there's no such thing as someone being ahead of or behind you in life. you are where you are and they are where they are. that's it

“the sun is inside me and so are the flowers that bloom with happiness, intention, and grace. the sun is inside me along with the birds praising the sky for the light it has been blessed with. the sun is inside me and also the rainbow when i see the world with freedom shining across my face. the sun is inside me and also the sea of love that’s within me and the earth can’t help but kiss the joy of my feet.”
