I really enjoyed reading your story. It’s honest about your faults and kind to yourself at the same time. I hope I can find a way to see my own life in a similar way.

I get it, most of my life I’ve had episodes that are more like yours, and my brain just found this and it doesn’t want to let go for a reason. The first couple of months I thought it was the best escape, but once I realized I couldn’t stop, I’ve been despairing. I feel like I’m going mad but more quietly rather than explosively.
Daydreaming. I’m sick of it, but I keep going there.
I never knew I wanted to know this much about centaurs.
I don’t see anything mentally unhealthy about what you do, sounds cool.
Time to hit the gym, or my husband is dead.
I was accelerated (though nowhere like this) and for me, personally, it wasn’t great. 14 was not the right age for me to decide to be a doctor and enroll. I did the whole thing and I have the diploma but I never worked in the field because I had completely burned out by then.
Of course I’m also AuDHD and maybe my mental health wouldn’t be any better in different circumstances, we’ll never know.
This is how I feel with my little wild garden. I just visit, show some encouragement, and remove an obstacle or two.
I’m an old millennial AuDHD and I have to resist the urge to use bold and italics everywhere for different kinds of emphasis. I’d use even more variations when available (text size, colors).
When I was younger, I used to do the same in analog form with multi colored pens when taking notes.
You painted these yourself? They look so good! (I haven’t seen the originals).
I find it even better when you think about the oxygen instead of the food, since babies become able to breathe on their own entirely without parental intervention.
Allemansrätten is my favorite part of living in Sweden. I come from a country that often ranks at the top of biodiversity metrics for many types of life, and yet I haven’t seen any of it because everything is private.
I know I lived under a rock and all, but what is the movie’s name?
How do you phrase your refusal? I am not looking for work right now, and my current job didn’t give me live coding sessions. I’m against them in principle.
But I can’t figure out how to phrase it in a way that doesn’t sound like you’re dodging. Do you refuse while you’re already in the interview? Or do you make a preemptive disclaimer when they invite you for a “technical interview”?
I’m not good at it, but I’ve been using a hard foam roller whenever tension gets bad enough that doing something about it jumps up the priority queue.
I don’t have any energy to do anything else. I hate being asked about my weekend. Why do I have to entertain? They can just tell me about their own weekend instead and I’ll offer my own information if I have something to tell.
Ohh those pencil sharpeners on the wall, such nostalgia.
I have both, but it’s in general an executive dysfunction thing, which can happen in both and other conditions.
I don’t like it, haven’t really needed it, prefer public transport and have terrible motor skills.
