Does anyone else feel, like, a weird inhibition against starting new TV shows?  Like, there are shows I want to watch but when I think about sitting down to start it something in me goes “no you can’t just do that.”  What am i waiting for?  I feel like I need to prepare?  Brain:  You have to wait.  Me:  Wait for what???  Brain:  WAIT

[yourrealitybeyondtime]

I found out recently that it’s due to not having enough emotional or mental space to process something new. Got too much going on in your own head/real life already.

[elidyce]

Me: I would like to experience this new thing.

My Brain:… no.

Me: Why not?

My Brain: Can’t do it. Not today.

Me: Whyyyyyyyy?

My Brain: Because we are processing at capacity and one more stream is going to crash the whole system. 

Me, aloud: I’m not in the mood to try (new thing) right now.

THIS IS A REAL THING??? ARE YOU SHITTING ME?!!?

[theeternalspace]

Wow. that explains… so much

[they-callme-ami]

No wonder I can barely start new anime or cartoons anymore.

This also can be a very common issue for people with ADHD or other conditions that cause emotional dysregulation, even if you’re not actively Going Through Something at the time. Like, the knowledge that it’s going to evoke an emotional response in you means you’re more likely to keep putting it off because you have trouble returning to an equilibrium after an emotional spike. Like, shows that I have been REALLY INTO, like SUPER INVESTED, with lots of feelings involved – I have to take breaks between new episodes of it and go back to watching things I’ve already watched before that I know how they end, and I’m prepared for the emotions that go with them, to give myself a break from the emotional spikes and exhaustion of being surprised – even pleasantly – by the media I’m watching.

Oh gdi…

It is worth noting, though, that technically at the present time we ARE all going through something (though the ADHD folks may notice we had this problem pre-pandemic as well).

Part of it for me is also I am running on such low bandwidth that I keep having to pause, rewind, and go back because my attention lapsed in the middle of trying to watch a new show.

The Truth About Life …

1. Things never, ever go according to your plan

2. You’ll always meet with unexpected snags and obstacles

3. Not everyone will like you, or want to be your friend

4. We all lose motivation and want to ditch our dreams

5. Success is transitory – the happiness will pass

6. We all get disappointed and let down by our friends

7. But attitude is everything – we choose how to react

8. There’s always something good, if we will only look for it

9. There are those who “play it forward”, and who’re helpful, warm and kind

10. And life is full of chances, new beginnings and fresh starts.

When we’re worried that things won’t go to plan, we can feel compelled to just ruin it ourselves, to eliminate the POSSIBILITY of things going wrong. It’s tough, and it’s a hard habit to break, but you deserve all the goodness that comes your way, nurture it and take care <3

When we want things to improve, the amount that can be done can be very intimidating. It doesn’t all have to happen at once, on day one. You can take as long as you need to incorporate the right steps towards feeling more like yourself. Hope this helps take the pressure off a little, love from the sad ghost club x

Okay… but if Theo has the power to sense people’s feelings or thoughts (Idk only at episode three) Why didn’t she ‘sense’ the feelings/thoughts of the ghost she thought was Nell getting into her bed when they were younger? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[oneshortdamnfuse]

If I’m not mistaken, the hand she found was Nell’s? She’s not wrong about it being Nell’s hand, but I can’t tell you why without spoiling anything ??? It could be a random ghost’s hand, but… that wouldn’t make sense. 

[shesgotbluehair]

I've just binged the rest of the series. Ok, I see why you might think it was Nell's hand. Because of episode five, right? But if that's what you mean, I don't think it was...?

[onlinecounsellingcollege]

One day she realized that she was the only one who could live her life. So she decided to stop worrying about what other people thought and start following her own path. She never looked back.
