I want what they have

[chaoticintrovert]

It's 11:45 PM on a tuesday. I have to wake up at 07 AM tomorrow. I'm also scheduled to visit my neuropsychologist to receive the results of my ADHD tests on Thursday.

I'm here, anxiously thinking and unable to fall asleep:

"what if I'm just lazy and it turns out I don't have anything"

"what if people think I'm an idiot for tricking them into believing I am neurodivergent just for me to come to them and say it was all a lie"

"what if I'm just a shitty human being with no future who just can't focus on getting my shit together even if my life depends on it"

It's fucking exhausting man

This is your daily reminder that if you identify as non-binary you must shave your head.

You don't have a choice.

pick one you bald genderless idiot

Reblog if you wish you didn't have biological sex. If you wish you could just be an androgynous being whose gender presentation was determined only by the things you wear and your behavior.

Me solving one question from the exercise sheet and thinking "meh, it's good enough" then proceeding to not look at the other questions for 3 days.

I'm so fucking productive. I got so much shit done today.

ⓘ Fact check: This user did the bare minimum for the first time in 3 months.

Being neurodivergent is like you're a computer running some variation of Unix while the rest of the world runs Windows. You have the exact same basic components as other machines, but you think differently. You organize differently. You do things in a way that Windows machines don't always understand, and because of that, you can't use programs written for Windows. If you're lucky, the developer will write a special version of their program specifically with your operating system in mind that will work just as well as the original, and be updated in a similar time frame. But if not? You'll either be stuck using emulators or a translator program like Wine, which come with an additional resource load and a host of other challenges to contend with, or you'll have to be content with an equivalent, which may or may not have the same features and the ability to read files created by the other program.

However, that doesn't mean you're not just as powerful. Perhaps you're a desktop that just happens to run Mac or Linux. Maybe you're a handheld device, small and simple but still able to connect someone to an entire world. Or perhaps you're an industrial computer purposely-built to perform a limited number of tasks extremely well, but only those tasks. You may not even have a graphical user interface. You could even be a server proudly hosting a wealth of media and information for an entire network to access- perhaps even the entire Internet. They need only ask politely. You may not be able to completely understand other machines, but you are still special in your own way.

My adhd brain said "we can't play this game we bought, we have to wait for the semester to end so we don't feel guilty" so the semester ended and I lost all dopamine from playing the game.

HOW NICE

a few days ago I had what i'm calling a recursive dream: I dreamt that I was dreaming and then woke up, inside the dream, and told my brother and SIL about the dream I just had. The thing Is, me dreaming, waking up and telling them about it WAS ALSO A DREAM INSIDE A DREAM, I woke up (again, still dreaming) and told them I had a dream inside a dream again AND THEN I woke up for real and can't get that shit out of my head ever since

[chaoticintrovert]

its all fun and games until you remember Al can’t feel the rain touching him and is only pretending to do so to make Ed happy

You can’t see Ed’s airpods but he’s actually listening to Hilary Duff’s Come Clean
