Introduction
Hi there!! Iām Mal (fake name), and my pronouns are they/she/it. I am a 20 year old sophomore in college at the moment, and I have ADHD. I take medication for it that kills my appetite, and Iām already not a big eater. Iām having a difficult time making sure Iām eating enough and as a result losing weight. I also have a hard time getting out of my dorm room, meeting people, and making friends. I realized recently that itās really killing my mental health. Iām sad and bored. Everything feels kinda pointless. I feel unmotivated by everything except the dopamine I get from completing tasks. That little boost usually gets me through long enough to keep up with my assignments, but the procrastination and stress is just making it hard to stay above water (not sure if that makes sense). Iām using this blog because I donāt want to worry my family and friends. They all have other stuff that needs their focus, and while I get that someone worrying about you means they care, it makes me feel like a burden and like Iām failing at simply being independent.
Goals
At the moment, my goals are small: complete one assignment or one part of an assignment a day, eat three meals a day, do one thing for myself a day, and spend at least an hour out of my dorm room a week (going to class does not count).
Iāll be trying to update this daily if not more. If you read this far, WOAH š§ Hereās a star for you:
Thanks! Have a great rest of your day!! āŗļø
(I did include some trigger warning tags, but if anyone wants me to add more PLEASE let me know. I never, ever want my blog to hinder someone elseās recovery from anything. Thanks!)
