advice for students with adhd living on their own for the first time

have ONE fork. you may have two spoons of different sizes if you must, but no more. you may have a couple knives of various purposes, but only ONE of each. you may also have a ladle if you need and other cooking things. but cutlery? ONE of each. or else it will pile up!! it WILL. i promise. guests can fend for themselves, we don’t care about them. forget them. this is about You

same goes for cups and bowls. i don’t even have bowls. i have ONE huge cup. that’s it. i also have a plate. that is all you need.

put a huge whiteboard-type floppy calendar on your wall. it may not help and it may become an annoying thing you have to rewrite every month, but for the times it DOES help? it’s worth it. use BRIGHT and BOLD letters for important things. angry scratchy red letters for deadlines, for example.

put a sticky note on the side of your laptop screen (sticking over the end) that says “LOCK IN” or “FOCUS” or something similar. move its position to another spot on the laptop as soon as it stops being helpful. novelty wears off fast and these things start blending into the background.

put EVERYTHING on your phone calendar. make sure you get multiple alerts starting at least a day in advance

keep your work station clear. move your shit off your work station as soon as you start noticing clutter. you gotta force yourself into that cleaning mode when you see it piling up, or it’s gonna get overwhelming FAST

go outside every day!!! sit outside for at least 10 minutes with no stimulation. just observe the outdoors, stare up at the trees and the sky. do not take your phone! do not take a book or a sketchpad or anything! NO stimulation ‼️ the more bored you are the better. just observe and enjoy it, keep your thoughts in the moment as well as you can

hang a hamper on your door or in some other out of the way but super accessible place. DO NOT HAVE ANY LAUNDRY BINS IN THE OPEN. you WILL start piling your dirty laundry into the place clean laundry is supposed to go instead of the hamper and things will be in too many places at once. have ONE hamper and keep your clean laundry bin(s) tucked away

limit open surfaces like chairs and benches and boxes. you will pile clothes on them. it will be inconvenient and annoying. try to keep the number of such items low

put things away the MOMENT you are done using them. DO NOT LET THEM LEAVE YOUR HAND. once you do it’s over. put those things Somewhere Away.

have multiple little garbage bins tucked away in all the places trash clutter gathers. put the trash there instead of on your desk or floor or table

if you body double with friends, put a ban on yapping. do NOT allow yapping while body doubling or else it’s so over

i will keep adding more as i think of them. hope this helps somebody

literally this and also like. he unnerved the goddamn author when they had a meal together. had to be asked to break character. bc it was weird to see his character sitting across from him. for like a multitude of reasons im sure, but like. he’s absolutely unnerving. but the film itself is literally satirizing him im gonna crash out.

also people go without watching it because they think it’s gonna be misogynistic???? and it’s like NO?? it was literally directed by a woman with feminist intentions ‼️‼️

and like. people misunderstand it so fucking bad like when christian bale talked to those finance dudes who were like “oh we love patrick bateman” and he was like “like in a satire way? 😀” and they were like “no? 🤨” and he was like. i’m scared

LIKE ‼️‼️ fuckkkk

American Psycho is such a fascinating movie because it’s really meant to be a comedy. Like a dark satire, not “it’s called dark humor liberals” but satirizing patrick bateman and the society in which he lives.

But Christian Bale is so dedicated to the role and gives such a good performance that it adds this totally unnerving layer. Paul Allen’s murder really feels like on paper it was written to be funny. But there’s this really dark and unsettling intensity to Bale, especially when he switches so quickly between the mask he presents to the world and who he really is.

It’s a scene so absurd that most people don’t even pay attention to the undertones, but they should. It’s not just a movie about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends, it’s also a personal statement about Bateman himself.

HEY PAUL!!!!

for anybody who just wanted to see narsil (here’s the og post if u didn’t see it)

this is my shatter design, i kept the shards as close to the film as possible, but it was guesswork to figure how they’d fit together. there’s a little piece missing but i figure that is realistic.

yearning is dry-heaving and gripping your knees and dragging your hands down your face until there's red marks smudging your skin and it's the choking feeling coming up your throat and the aching tugging wrenching pull on your heart and it's awful and disgusting and cruel
