Part of me wants to look again, trying to find someone for me. But I’m not sure that’s fair. For one, to whoever I go on a date with, because the ghost of the past will always be with me, I can’t even be mad at him for leaving me, it wasn’t his choice. Then there’s my kids, I don’t want them to forget their dad, and I don’t want them to feel I’m replacing him.

That’s not even accounting for the potential dangers around the actual going out. I like to think the best of people, and that could be dangerous if I trust the wrong person.

SALLY GRISSOM???

[nuttysaladtree]

Per prev's tags, the TikTok is by Kristen Dimercurio, the voice of Sally Grissom. She plays two characters here: the person who's struggling to manage their ADHD ("Blanketed") and their friend.

Until someone else comes up with a transcript: Blanketed is struggling specifically with the ability to do tasks that they do not want to do. Friend introduces the Hot Stove Conundrum: that Blanketed's brain will treat doing these kinds of tasks as if being demanded to hold their hand on a red hot stove. Three (ish) solutions are:

A. Mindfully avoiding unnecessary hot stoves. Think through the consequences of not doing the task, and removed it from your to-do if they can be avoided without actually deleterious consequences.

B. Decrease the [subconsciously] perceived threat level of what remains. The specifics vary by person, and Friend notes that for some people, "therapy and medication go a long way" and many ADHD tips, like adding nice sensory experiences (listen to something you like, wear a shirt you like) to counterbalance the "hot stoves" or body doubling, fall into this category.

B (part 2) Blanket remarks that they'd rather continue avoiding the tasks, and Friend compares it to being forced to touch a hot stove at gunpoint: "You'll get it done, but at what cost?" (Blanketed: "Is that why I work so well under pressure?")

C. Treating doing these tasks like the challenges they are, instead of minimizing them by comparing yourself to neurotypical people who accomplish tasks with ease. Being mindful of the true difficulty of these tasks makes it easier to practice challenging yourself and using rusty skills like handling complex logistics or exercising patience. It is also kinder to yourself and gives you the opportunity to reward yourself.

This was my actual favorite part of working in a theater. People would come in and use a string of words no human had ever uttered and I’d have to be like “ohhhhkay let’s parse this out.”

[yunisverse]

When we had Moonlight: Moonshine, Moonrise, Midnight, Nightlight, Nighttime, Twilight

My favorite in recent memory, though: “The Big Sick” = “The Fat Bad”

[biglawbear]

Don’t… Don’t movie theaters have…the names of the movies… Right… There?

Ah, see, the problem here is that you’re making the common mistake of assuming people bother to read anything. At all. At any given point. When in the presence of customer service worker.

I don’t know where else to put this but I just really need to feel like I told someone.

I miss him so bad, some days are better than others but I really feel it on days I fight with my mom. Today is one of them.

I don’t want to work and try to maintain the house, and feel like I don’t have any say in the discipline of my kids. I hate having to be at work as my daughter has continued behavior problems at school, and her dad isn’t able to take the phone call.

Some days I miss trying whatever new combo he made of leftovers from work, or him bringing a dinner home.

He would help me stand up to my mom about things I would cede because it was easier than fighting. He had his own thoughts too, that I sometimes didn’t get.

He would be so mad I’ve let her bring the other guy around to help.

I would even forgive him now if he showed up, but I’m gonna take myself a three month vacation too.

Some days I’m hit with the grief of it all and wish it would all just go back, that this all is a bad dream, or a big prank. I don’t want to keep going like this anymore. I don’t want to be fighting with my mom every day, I don’t want to stress about the kids everyday.

I don’t want to die though, I need to be here for the kids.

If it wasn’t for them then I don’t know. I probably would. I don’t want to go on without him.

So I had to return a book to the library today and I came straight from the horse farm. I went to the front desk because it was an item on loan from another library and I wasn’t sure if it had to be checked in differently. The librarian said no, it could get returned in the normal slot but she could take it and check it in right away.

It was only when I got back to the car that I realized I had walked into the library covered in dirt from head to toe and handed back a book about grave robbing.

[geobrarian]

I guarantee you that was the highlight of their day.
