It’s ok to take short cuts.
I made dinner in the crockpot. I paid an extra dollar for pre-diced onions. This is the first time I’ve actually cooked because I realized it’s ok to take these short cuts. I have home-cooked lunch for a week and I don’t feel exhausted from trying to cook.
I guess it helps that I’m finally coming around to the fact that I have lupus, so I’m finally allowing myself to find things that make things easier.

one of the least helpful things ive been told as a neurodivergent person is “don’t half ass things”
if you can quarter ass something, do it! if all you can do is clean a corner of your room, or only read one of the two assigned chapters, or write the heading for your resume, or put all the papers for taxes in a pile, do it! if today isn’t a whole ass day, take pride in the portion of ass that you were capable of
don’t let neurotypicals work ethic define how you did today
I’ve reblogged this before but honestly it is everything to me.
Big ADHD mood
Big anxiety/depression mood as well
Big lupus flare mood
I hope the universe blesses you with a moment of peace this week. You’re doing the right thing, and you’re going to be okay.

Bought a daily planner and a wall calendar so I can stay on top of my schedule and plan meals and exercise and take my meds like I should. I still need to go through my cookbook and pick some meals to try. Should I share recipes and photos when I do make them? Perhaps I will.
Finally introducing myself
My name is Mackenzie. I’m a 25 year old nurse in Maine and I was recently diagnosed with Lupus. It’s a diagnosis I’m struggling to accept. I’ve been ignoring it mostly. I’m not disabled, my symptoms are mild and manageable, and I already struggle with depression and anxiety so I don’t really need something else to work on.
I should be getting my life together. I keep telling everyone I’m focusing on my diet and exercise to try to control these symptoms, but I’m not. Instead I’m binge eating crap food or not eating enough and spending all my free time on Netflix. I keep telling myself I’ll make a plan and follow through, but it’s difficult to do when you’re not really at the acceptance phase of a new chronic/lifelong diagnosis. I’m pretty sure I’ll get there. I just don’t know when. It makes me feel like a terrible nurse, that I can help direct people to focus on their health but refuse to really think about my own. I will get there.
My wife is supportive. Or trying to be. I don’t think she quite knows what she can do for me, but then I don’t know what she can do for me, and she’s dealing with a lot already. I don’t want to burden her. I also don’t want to feel like I need someone. I don’t want to feel like there’s something wrong with me that I really need to get on top of yet either.
So I started this blog. I run another one where I reblog memes and whatever, but I’ve decided to make one just for this. I need something to hold myself accountable and to vent and to hopefully get my life together. I’m about to have 4 days off. I’ll probably not get my life together in those 4 days, but I’m hoping to make a plan. And I’m hoping to post it here so that once I put it out there, I have to follow through. I do have to get my life right, I do have to focus on my health. I have lupus. It was a diagnosis I was expecting and now it’s just official. Nothing has changed. I need to accept that and not wait until I’m in the hospital to be like oh yeah, I guess I do have this thing. So here we go. This is me trying to take that first step. We’ll see how it goes.
Advice, encouragement, criticism, venting all welcome. I’m here and I will listen. I’m still a nurse after all.
Where do y’all be finding the energy to text somebody all day? 😩
You gonna be left on read all day cuz I got the energy for this pointless sky is blue convos
When ur like: “this show is very good. In fact, it is too good. I want something I can watch with 30% brain and this is a minimum 60% brain show.”
me: hey how long is this thing going to last
someone: haha you just want to know when you’re off the hook
me: hah
me: (actually i just need to allocate the right expectations and backlog of energy and make sure the rest of my day falls in good accordance with it so that i don’t feel time-crunched and propel myself into a hysteria because if i don’t know how long this thing lasts or when it ends i can’t possibly know when literally anything else starts and my entire life becomes an unraveled realm of anarchy with no rhyme or reason and how is that not terrifying to you)
me: hey how long will this take
someone: oh like twenty minutes
me: ok
*an hour later*
me: *clinging to every learned social skill i can think of with the desperate hope my distress and exhaustion doesn’t show*
someone: hey we’re almost done don’t be so crabby
me: *smiling* *internally screaming at this SENSELESS CHAOS*
someone: hey do you want to do [involving time-consuming thing]
me: hey that sounds fun! when were you thinking?
someone: oh we’re doing it right now
me: oh. like. now-now? like right now. like you want me to stop what i’m doing and get up and do this thing with you, suddenly, with thirty seconds of warning. now. like this second. immediately. now?
this feeling is so real
