Not to go "if you have ADHD just go for a run" or anything, but I am so serious if you have ADHD you should regularly go outside, no headphones no phone no nothing and just stand and observe for a while until you've had enough. Not until you get bored, until you've had enough. Drink your coffee without watching tiktok. Have a bath without music. Turn down the volume in your headphones. I cannot overstate how much learning to be bored is cruicial with ADHD. Life is not just about pleasure, no matter what your dysregulated dopamine system thinks, and when you teach your brain to be okay with being bored, then boring tasks stop feeling like torture. By letting yourself be bored you are yoinking your system out of the high/low binary and allow for the highs to feel like actual highs and not just anything that isn't low. I am so serious go literally touch grass. Listen to the sounds in your flat. Stimulate your body the way it was designed. It lowers anxiety and makes you feel like you're real and best of all it's completely free

love that exhilarating feeling when i take my adhd meds #myadhdmeds and feel for a brief moment that i may Literally Explode. it's to show that they are working, cap'n.

I can suddenly feel how unbrushed my teeth are and how unwashd my face is and ohhhhhh I'm having a heart attack

'you wouldn't pirate a-' i would steal anything from any company. anything in the world. i dont even want it i just hate you

can we please kill the “this character did something problematic!” people already theyre making it very hard for me to talk about actual issues of how narratives are handling characters doing Absolutely Fucked shit or when a character does something fucked but the narrative has some utterly unhinged idea on what’s actually wrong with it or unintentional philosophies that narratives dont mean to have but it ends up enforcing regardless

I know that the decline of media literacy is a trendy thing to be jumping on now but like. It really is declining and it's so hard for a) any constructive conversation to be had about media/characters without getting so frustrated, and b) to find media that has genuine, intentional nuance/subtlety out of fear of being misinterpreted. Makes me so sad :(
