  • That sounds great. It’s like people on the internet don’t know how to start a conversation anymore. Can’t just say “man I’m struggling with my ADHD lately,” they gotta post every decade-old meme from their personality meme folder so people can reply with “haha same”

    A new social media site doesn’t mean new content, it’s just a new bucket to fill up with the same shit from every other platform.

    (I feel obligated to point out that PugJesus is generally an exception for my meme hatred because he includes descriptions/context for the history memes he posts and I actually get something out of it. Shout out to PJ)
















  • Wow, I’ve seen a lot of ADHD analogies over the years but I’ve never seen that hits so hard because…This is almost exactly how my brain functions.

    On good days, I can just act and don’t have to think. On bad days, I involuntarily make numbered lists in my head of the steps needed to accomplish a goal and then get overwhelmed at how many steps are ahead of me.

    A trick I’ve found to “harness” it is to consider how difficult the task is overall. Most of those “overwhelming” tasks are just a little bit too much but they’re several steps.

    If cleaning ten dishes is twice as much as you can bear, your new goal is one. That should be only make out you at 20% overwhelmed. And hey, since your hands are wet, why not hit your limit before you take a break? And what do you know, now you’ve finished cleaning all of them.
