Skipping my meds always makes my sex drive explode! And I can FINALLY cum again. It's pretty great. Too bad I also get crushingly depressed/suicidal/self-harmy/destructive. Brains are fun

I've seen a lot of media in which trauma survivors say things along the lines of "I don't hate my abuser, because that hate would take up space in my heart," or "I forgive what's been done to me, because I don't want to hold onto that anger."

And genuinely, if that's what works for those individuals, then more power to them. I'm so proud of them. But remember, that it doesn't have to work for everybody. It can't work for that for everybody.

You can heal and feel angry. You can recover and not forgive those you have hurt you. You do not owe that pardon to anyone.

If you have the capacity and want to, then by all means, go ahead. I, in all honesty, wish you the best. Just don't feel obligated.

There is a difference between acceptance of your pain, and the forgiveness of its cause. You can draw that line wherever you see fit, but only you.

I’m gonna preface this by saying I don’t have ADHD, but I have anxiety, which shares many comorbid symptoms with ADHD.

Does anyone with ADHD have a problem with food where it’s like... you get hungry and you think about one *specific* food, but you don’t have that food, so your brain is just like “well if I don’t get THIS food then we’re just gonna fuckin’ starve” and you’re like no wait that’s not how this works, there’s food in the fridge that we can just heat up, but your brain has already given up so now you literally just sit until you starve and then you get angry because you’re hungry. No? Just me? Okay
