hi. go say something nice to your favourite writer(s). let them know they’re loved and seen and appreciated, and that their place in this world is not dependent on whether or not they’ve written anything recently. write that comment on that fic you’ve re-read for the fifth time just now. invade that ask box and give them some flowers in thanks. imagine a world in which they don’t write anymore, and be aware of the power that lies in kindness and genuine, random appreciation.

#ao3 #writeblr #seriously while the dopamine hits of instant gratification are addictive and great they come with immense side effects and drops #and even withdrawal symptoms that can and will eat away at your brain to the point where you link your self worth to the dopamine hits #and frankly we shouldn’t. so go tell them randomly. go tell them genuinely. go tell them about themself rather than the latest piece #please please please bring some light to your favourite writers’ days 🤍

#I can consume sad headcanons and even have intrusive thoughts but to spend hours drawing about it has a different effect on my emotions #aren't you glad I'm a happy person?#don't you like dopamine and serotonine?#golden kamuy #koitsuki #tsukikoi #ask #my art #curiouscat

#not to be dramatic but genuinely everything feels pointless #and living dopamine hit to dopamine hit just feels like a distraction from everything going to shit #’but there’s so much to live for!’ like what? seeing my loved ones age and die?#seeing the planet deteriorate?#art feels like a distraction and doesn’t have the catharsis it used to have #i am undervalued and underpaid at work and my home life is bleak.#going to read for the rest of the night and clean my room tomorrow and hope that that’s the reset i need #because i just feel so out of it.#and i don’t think it’s a side effect of my new medication bc it’s only been 4 days #and it takes like at minimum a week to have an effect allegedly #so. idk.#personal

I feel the sudden onset of a hyperfixation would fix a lot of things for me rn. Like, I want something to fully consume me. I think conditions are right for one starting, but nothing's lighting the right spark.

#anyone got a good 90's fantasy anime/game series that maybe has drama cds #Basically I want something to force my brain out of only focusing of how much shit I have left to do to the point of exhaustion #like I work until I can't move and I can't even go to bed because I could be coming up with a better way to organize my to do list #Or researching a more effective dish rack or whatever #I'm tired. I just want to live in a dream for a while and score some sweet dopamine from enjoying fictional characters #Can someone reinstall submas brainrot into me. I feel there's still some use left in that one

We joke abt parents saying 'it's bc you're always on ur phone' type shit but my mom went a step further and printed out pop science articles talking abt how video games stimulate the same parts of the brain as hard drugs and left them in the kitchen for me to just happen across in the morning before I went to school

#spitblaze says things #i mean like. yea congrats u cracked the code #it gives u dopamine. and bc my stupid adhd brain cant do that on its own #it naturally gravitates. towards things that will do that #anyway thats still a hell of a. 'video games have the same psychological effects as hard drugs'#maybe the most overdramatic exaggeration ive ever heard in my life

I may have played 100 hours of armored core 6 in the last two weeks. The worst part is I'm literally thinking how to phrase "it's not THAAAAAT good". Granted I have two components left to get, 11 s ranks, 1 ending...

#I might like this game #Maybe a little :P #Armored core 6 #I'd say it's effecting my writing or music but tbh it's WORK that's doing that #This has just been the most I can engage period in so long #I gotta grab ALLLLLL that dopamine #To be fair there's an awful lot here apparently

1D songs that are basically stimulants to the ADHD brain: "kiss you," "never enough," "I would," "girl almighty"

#I say this unironically btw #like I personally think I use music as an effective dopamine regulation tool to help level out my brain + these songs are goddamn narcotics #''rock me'' may also count

High (just posted a vaguely successful YouTube Short)

#Dopamine Machine go BRRRRRRRRRRR #Seriously I need to find a way to insulate myself against this #esp because the feedback is more immediate now #Like it's a genuine creative outlet!#But the dopamine effects make it super messy for me

time to go write down a table of each of the types of dopamine and serotonin and how they all differ

#i so wanna know the difference between the D2 and D3 receptors #reading an article on the SGAs that partially antagonise D2. i am salivating this is so interesting #i wanna be able to understand more of how these meds work than just 'antagonises/partially antagonises dopamine'. GIVE ME MORE INFO #i have to read more to understand more #i know that they aren't easy to take and that their side-effects can be debilitating but i love learning about antipsychotics so much. aaaa #please. i wanna know more about how lurasidone works. how quetiapine works. the differences between aripirazole; brexpiprazole; cariprazine #wanna know why blonanserin isn't used in the US. wanna learn about neurotransmitters in more depth than 'there is 5HT. there is Ach. etc'#wanna read so much aaaaa #SpIn stuff #(for new people here – yup my SpIn is antipsychotics and neuropharmacology more broadly. i'm not a doctor. i am sorry)

ADHD meds are so fucking wild bc they make you feel happy?? When you complete a task???

Like when I'm off my meds my thought process around doing tasks is "ughhh I have to do the thing I need to do it but I don't WANT to but I have to so I should start the task I should do it RIGHT NOW why can't I do it" and then while I'm doing the task my brain is just going "ughhhhhhhh" the entire time and then when it's finished my only thought is "thank fuck that's finally over I never want to do that again"*

*(the task is one that I need to do on a regular basis)

But when I'm on my meds my thought process is just "hmm I mean I don't really want to do the thing but I know I have to, so I'm gonna start it now" and then while I'm doing the task I'm just focused on the task and then when it's finished I think "wow it sure is nice to have that task done!" and maybe even a little "I did a good job and I'm proud of my work!"

Like what kind of sorcery is this. Do people without ADHD really live like this all the time?? For free???

#cant believe other peoples brains are just out there making FREE dopamine for them #meanwhile i have to microdose on either speed or weed to achieve the same results #(the speed is my prescription adhd meds and the weed is prescribed to me for a different purpose #but sativa just happens to also have a nice side effect of helping with adhd at certain doses bc of the dopamine)#actuallyadhd #rambling

Hello!! Not really a question — I just wanted to say I'm in awe of how disciplined you are with your writing and how much you're able to write in a given month. It's HUGELY motivational to see your excerpts and schedules and updates (but I'm happy you're also taking some time this month to rest!)

Hope you have a nice day!

Hi hi anon!

Thank you so much <3 Some of it is definitely discipline, but honestly, I feel like I'm very fortunate because I do just enjoy writing?

Like, it's the thing I want to do when I'm stressed. I want to do it when I'm meant to be not doing it (like holidays). I want to do it most of the time, so I'm very rarely forcing myself. It's comforting to me.

It's still very hard sometimes and there's parts that aren't comforting, like I put off editing a LOT! (My wordcounts are also my editing, and that takes longer sometimes than writing the initial chapter, and definitely takes longer once I send to beta, because she responds live and that's the way we've always done it so I can interact reflexively and change things as we go).

But anyway, I do enjoy writing!

The other thing that has helped re: the actual schedule (because I didn't have one for most of the time I've done serials here and on AO3!) is finally getting an ADHD diagnosis and getting onto Vyvanse, which gave me like 15% more executive function, and that's just enough for me to start writing a few chapters ahead, which has given me more freedom than I've have in 10 years.

It's also why if anyone tells me that ADHD is a superpower, I will punch them in the face, lol.

Anyway! I'm selfish, it's fun for me to post updates, it's fun for me to post excerpts, it's fun for me to share this way with you all! I think if I forced myself to do it the 'Right Way' as a novelist that wrote and published finished books I would have burned out on that caree- oh wait I did burn out on that lol

#asks and answers #pia on writing #i should really have a 'pia has ADHD' tag #because it's actually extremely fundamental to why i do my job this way #(hint it's the dopamine)#and how the schedule is literally a 'vyvanse side effect'#in the very best way saflkdjsafdsa #i'm SO glad y'all are getting something out of it like you have no idea #i have written chapters to certain days before #but never reliable times #and it could change all the time fsdlakjfdsa #administrator gwyn wants this in the queue

people interacting w wgoin in my notes... this would be a rly bad time to say all my writing will probably be on hiatus for the indefinite future huh

#not like it makes a practical difference considering i only upload twice a year at best #but im realising how much my writing is shame motivated and its just not sustainable or healthy #it saddens me that these stories i invested So much time and effort into will probably never get finished #i wanna hold out hope that they will but #i dont want anyones expectations to be too high #bc knowing myself they probably wont #i started wgoin thinking that this would be the story i commit to finishing and not just abandon as soon as i get bored #but that was before i had really realised how my brain works #and for a while writing these chapters have felt very forced #gbgb had a much better run till it crashed and i was just unable to pick it back up #tbh that one could potentially still be saved bc of how open ended it is if i get any inspo for it back whatsoever #bc it had no strict plan i was entirely making it up as i go #and im realising thats how i write best. i tried to plan wgoin so id commit to finishing it but im realising that has the opposite effect #if i plan anything too thoroughly writing it becomes like gnawing on lead #cause i got all the dopamine out of the idea already #i write best when i have nothing but a vague idea or a vibe #gbgb crashed bc i ran out of vibes and ideas but if i find any again who knows #there is the possibility where i scrap the plan i had for wgoins entire plot and make the rest up as i go #which i might try purely bc i love the story sm #and i think i enjoyed writing it most back in the first three parts where i Was making it up as i went #which is why im saying indefinite hiatus instead of discontinued #bc there is hope for them. just not. much #so if u stick around maybe follow me on ao3 if u dont wanna see all my posts n just my stories #maybe in 3 years time youll see another wgoin notif or sumn #sorry to the small but dedicated handful of readers who really loved these fics #i wanted to write more for you guys bc ik its hard to find this kinda fic anywhere else; its why i started writing it #but i am but one unmedicated autist w severe adhd. we r working on the unmedicated part tho #ive learned so much abt how my brain functions now n how to make the most of it tho #i told myself id finish any new writing before i post it. so know anything new Will be complete :3 #mischiefing time

i wish i could be on stimulants all the time no thoughts in the head just high energy and unashamed love

#but nooooo #gotta be responsible 😑 like who gaf i will drop out or i'll kill myself after graduating #but tbf they stopped having such nice of an effect on me #the theory is: im clinically depressed and it doesnt give me a dopamine boost but instead stabilises it 👍🏻#wtv ..
