i know folks are gonna call me a pedo for this one, but i grew up seeing my mom and grandma naked. they had health issues and at times needed care and help showering. and i truly think more kids need to be shown the nonsexual reality of naked women at a young age. there is nothing sexual about my grandmothers breasts, they were simply body parts. more women die of heart attacks because people are too afraid of breasts to do real chest compressions, because they are scared to touch their breasts. the sexualization of our bodies literally kills us. i need people to be more normal about naked bodies and i'm 100% serious.

hi people with audhd and bad mental health- how do you do things??? i’m so serious i would love some advice

when you get that random and impossible to predict surge of energy is literally the only time I can do anything rn. sometimes it’s in the middle of the night, sometimes morning, sometimes afternoon, and then it doesn’t come back for weeks (for me anyway). try to not be hard on yourself if you can’t Do Things right now. Do them when you can and if you’re able to push yourself to do small tasks, even half or a quarter done, do it without feeling like it’s saying something about YOU. it’s just about your energy and your brain’s ability to become motivated. It’s not a personality flaw.

what people don’t understand about how adhd is disabling is that it’s not just getting temporarily distracted from, like, school work or hobbies. it’s getting distracted/being unable to motivate yourself to go to the doctor, eat regularly, do hygiene tasks, etc. it’s not knowing when or how long it will take you to do something, ANYTHING, and in many cases that thing is taking a shower or keeping your house from turning into a biohazard. it’s about being fundamentally incapable of controlling your attention and focus on anything, even and especially things you need to do to survive.

I sometimes forget something for weeks that I needed to do because it’s not in my line of sight. My grandma moved a bunch of my work shit during covid and I literally forgot it existed. Thanks grandma

Health classes really ought to teach people what the beginning stages of addiction are like because a lot of people don’t realize they’re addicted to something until they’re years deep into it.

“everyone should know this thing I’m also not going to expand on” lmao thank you for the help I guess?

but don’t worry everyone because some europeans are here praising the US so all is good and americans get to feel all warm and cozy by continuing to ignore reality for everyone who isn’t white

I think some of you forgot that autistic people sometimes act strange and say things that are poorly worded and speak with incorrect tone and misunderstand or miss social cues because they are autistic

I try not to judge too harshly, but reacting to a baby crying with "that's why I don't want kids" is, to use the tiktok vocabulary, such a huge ick.

or maybe it’s someone who realistically knows their sensory issues can’t handle a screaming child and has made the choice not to put themselves in that situation because it wouldn’t be good for anyone involved. any time a child cries that is my exact thought for that exact reason- because I know I wouldn’t do well.

It's because you're always on that cursed tome
