love waking up to my mom giving me an ultimatum and ordering that i have to give up my (admittedly expensive) apartment 1n 2 weeks and move back home for good. i had stuff to do today but i guess being gripped by dread and anxiety works too

there’s something very lonely about being the planner friend on your birthday

Small vent but I hate how complicated life has to be because of stupid things like made up numbers in your bank account and how much of that is owed to someone else for saving your life from dying etc like .... Okay I could just be dead and not owe you anything, would that be better? Like idk I guess I'm just thinking about how you could be taken out at literally any second and none of the bullshit would matter, like literally none of it. Only the connections to the people near you and how you live on through them will matter, not debt or lack of possessions or the things you didn't do or didn't get to do because of made up boundaries set enforce by people who love running the money machine of the world for themselves.

You can tell how privileged someone is based on if they get angrier about how you don't like their TV show vs. how a CEO is threatening a population's housing costs, individual health record privacies, and/or social media access revocations to the disabled.

we have three toilets in our house. every day, and that is not an exaggeration, at least one of them breaks or otherwise gets messed up in some way. luckily we have not yet had a situation where all three break at the same time, but we have had situations where two of them do.

the “every day” thing has only started in the past, maybe three months? but from the time we’ve lived here (two and a half years) we have had issues with our toilets. even when there is seemingly nothing wrong, every now and then theres this kind of septic smell in the house

who wants to guess our rent costs!!!

Nothing more scary as an adult than having to call out of work for the 2nd or 3rd time this week because your dysautonomia is fuckin with you, making it difficult to think clearly or do anything more taxing than sitting on the couch.

Like I know we all love making ADHD seem cool but like, don't forget it's actually a disability? My ADHD is bad enough I've nearly been evicted for forgetting to mail the rent check to the property manager, I've forgotten to pay the utility bills and had my water or power get turned off or had to pay fines bcs I missed a credit card payment. Once I was supposed to cat sit for a friend and I lost the house key she gave me but didn't realize until she was already out of town, and she had to call the apartment office to get someone to give me the spare so her cats would have food for the week. When I'm unmedicated I can't even get myself to shower half the time, forget eating or cleaning. Before I started living with my fiance I'd just like, not eat for days because I didn't have anyone to remind me to eat or go buy me food. I've forgotten to turn the stove off so many times and ruined kettles and tbh been DAMN fucking lucky the house didn't burn down. I've done stupid, impulsive shit that's nearly gotten me KILLED. I can't remember to close the shower curtain reliably even through my fiance points out every single time I forget, and he's almost out of soap rn bcs for the last MONTH neither of us have been able to remember to order more once we get out of the shower.

I've had such bad memory my entire life that to this day someone suggesting I forgot something because I simply didn't care enough is a legitimate trigger that, in the worst cases, makes me have a breakdown.

I get that for some of you this is just something that makes studying hard or you forget to take a pee break when you're playing Minecraft or whatever, that's still a valid struggle and you do deserve help and understanding, but like, ADHD is a disability. It's disabling. It's not impossible to improve and learn coping skills, meds help a lot, there are great accommodations out there(LIKE CLEANING SERVICES), but not every case of ADHD is the same, and a lot of them are pretty ugly ngl, and just because you managed to do something doesn't mean someone else is gonna be able to manage it too, or that they're being lazy for struggling. And that obviously doesn't mean ADHD people have a free pass to never work on themselves and make everyone cater to their every need or whatever, but we do deserve some understanding when we explain that our disability is actually disabling in ways that aren't palatable to you. So like, idk, maybe don't immediately recoil in horror when you find out that someone with ADHD can't keep their house clean. And for fucks sake don't ridicule them for it.
