#adhd rants

Do any of you just think about how deep grells character is compared to the surface? Like shes definitely the comic relief of the series but thinking about her, she killed herself after not being able to take the fact she couldnt transition and is now cursed as punishment for suicide as a reaper where her body still isnt as she wants it

that feel when there's something you need to do but the thought genuinely makes you feel that you'd rather be dead than do the thing.

my thing? cleaning the kitchen

Hey there!

Glad you appreciated the rant 😅

I am "lucky" in that I was diagnosed while still in elementary school. But it still took me many many years to come to terms with it, and even now I have bad days, where I blame myself and think I'm not good enough. my husband has been witness to a few of my "I'm not good enough" spirals (he's a fucking SAINT)

the best thing you can get is a support network. it doesn't even need to be IRL, it can definitely be virtual if that's what you can manage

there's also some good discord servers out there for neurodivergent people, and a lot of them offer body double hang out voice channels.

if you aren't familiar with body doubling that's definitely something that's helped me! it's where you just.... have someone else on the computer (it has to be a real person, fake doesn't trick the brain), and you just.... each do your own thing, but KNOWING there's another person there, even if you're not communicating, somehow really helps

You have the advantage of being an adult and there's a whole lot more resources out there than there was 25 years ago!

Something that's helped me at least figure out when I'm struggling is something called "metacognition" which is basically thinking about how you think.

it's paying attention to your own thoughts... not in a stopping thoughts way but in a "I had this thought, where did it come from" kind of way if that makes any sense

it's helped me recognize when I was having a bad day, or starting a spiral... it's not a cure all but it can definitely help identify behavior patterns

also.... I embraced the "good enough" mentality... which took me YEARS to do, but basically if you can half-ass something then that's better than not doing it at all. I think being a fiber crafter really drilled it home, because no sewing or knitting or weaving or crochet project is ever perfect and sometimes you just gotta keep going. (a functional zipper still works, even if it's a little wonky, or who cares if you missed a stitch in the lace, no one's gonna notice, just keep going - but it can apply to other things in life too)

All of this to say.... You're not lesser for having it, but it IS a disability. And there are plenty of resources available these days that can help if you know where to look. I can point you to specific resources or discord servers if you want!

Also..... fuck planners 🤣
