I wanna be your Joey Ramone

me:

anxiety and anger are extremely persistent in ADHD because we fixate on that input and devote all our runtime to trying to “fix” it when in reality the only way to fix it is to leave it alone. considering we are diagnosed with Chronic Cannot Leave It Alone Disease, that is Difficult.

when you’re outside one of these loops, take inventory of all the things you do that suck you into devoting all your attention to them. when i was a kid, the way i avoided asthma attacks was i played video games while taking my meds, so i wouldn’t be fixating on the anxiety and making the asthma worse. nowadays, i avoid anger spirals by also playing video games (in my experience turn-based strategy is a hyperfocus superhighway so i use those) so i’m forced to divert resources to do this other thing.

joke’s on you, impotent fury, you can’t kidnap my brain if my brain is somewhere else entirely

hozier's fans call him bogman because two of his songs ("like real people do" and "run") are either about/mention bog bodies, and he has several other songs where he references being buried in the earth ("in a week", "work song", "no plan")

hozier's fans call him a forest god because in addition to those songs, he has several songs with natural imagery ("in the woods somewhere", "nfwmb", "as it was", "shrike", "would that i")

Wherever his Papa goes Baby Yoda will follow.
