writing isn’t hard it’s just emotionally devastating and time-consuming and requires full body possession by an idea

My therapist, who specializes in adults with ADHD, recently told me that all of her clients need a three day crashout period after a big life change. Finish the semester? Crashout. Change jobs? Crashout. Go on a really cool, really relaxing vacation? Crashout the moment you get home.

It's true of literally all of her clients. She works with a lot of them to put systems in place so that their crashouts are only three days. This includes the high-powered execs who travel regularly for work. It does not matter how successful or high functioning they are - they have ADHD, and a crashout is just part of the process of living with it.

I'm sharing this with all you ADHD friends out there, just in case you (like me) start shaming yourself if your crashout lasts more than one day. It turns out three days is kind of the best case scenario. Be kind to yourselves!

Some "good time friends" shouldn't be your confidants because they lack the tools and the experience to process your inner turmoil or understand the other aspects of your life. It's okay to have them around but you should be careful because confiding to the wrong kind of friends can make your inner life worse. Some people don't deserve to know you like that but it doesn't mean they're a bad company. They're just not the right people.

“I can fix her”/“I can ruin her” yuri is great, but hear me out:

“I can fix her”/“I can fix her” yuri, where they both are dedicated to their cause and disillusioned by their own beliefs but want to save the other. The outcome is either they find middle ground and save each other, one wins, or they become enemies (which sets you up for enemies to lovers again!)

I just think it’s neat.

"do as I say, not as I do" is such a fucking stupid thing to say to children, which are scientifically-recognized do-as-you-do machines

the really crazy thing about cooking is that once you practice it enough (for all the gamers reading this: "grind enough exp") your threshold for wuat counts as a low effort / depression / I Dont Really Want To Cook meal rises steadily and you can feel yourself becoming the kind of person whose "chill dinner" takes 1h45 and involves three pans

just tell your transfem friends how much they mean to you and how important their presence is. ok?

For all we joke about OCs being terrible people, there's a very specific, narrow band of acceptability for that shit. Like you can say your lil guys are War Criminals and trash or whatever but if I'm like "Yeah my guy's CARTOONISHLY ableist and makes women uncomfortable" I've brought down the mood

It's a shame Bruce is the way he is because if he and Stephanie could ever learn to combine their respective sassy bitch energies nobody would stand a chance against their awesome power.
