Self Improvement

A community which focusses on improving yourself. This can be in many different ways - from improving physical health or appearance, to improving mental health, creating better habits, overcoming addictions, etc.
While material circumstances beyond our control do govern much of our daily lives, people do have agency and choices to make, whether that is as "simple" as disciplining yourself to not doomscroll, to as complex as recreating yourself to have many different hobbies and habits.
This is not a place where all we do is talk about improving "productivity" (in a workplace context) and similar terms and harmful lifestyles like "grindset". Self-improvement here is intended to make you a generally better and happier person, as well as a better communist, and any other roles you may have in your life.
Rules and guidelines:
- Posts should be about self-improvement. This is obviously a wide category, and can range from advice, to finding resources, to self-posts about needing to improve in a certain area, or how you have improved, and many other things.
- Use content warnings when discussing difficult subjects.
- Do not make medical decisions solely because of a discussion you have had with any person here (e.g. whether to take or not take medications; diagnoses; etc.) as we do not vet people. All medical problems should be discussed with a real-life medical professional.
- Do not post harmful advice here. If this is seen, then please report it and we shall remove it. If you are unsure about whether it's precisely harmful advice or not but feel uneasy about it, please report it anyway.
- Do not insult other users and their lifestyles or their habits (unless they ask, I suppose). This is a place for self-improvement. Critique and discussion about a course of action is encouraged over shit-flinging. Don't talk down to people.

This is the last megathread of April, only 3 days are left until May Day.
Adhd is kicking my ASS right now. I've managed to read more than I usually would but I have no idea what I'm gonna write for my essay due on Saturday, and nothing is coming to me. My perception of time is that if something is far away (ie more than two days) then I have loads of time to do it, so I can take my time. Then I end up not doing it because I have loads of time, something due in ten days is ages away, I can do something over ten days. Then the next day I think "well nine days is a lot of time", and I still don't start, and so on.
I've been getting a lot out of therapy recently. My therapist is taking a break for a month so I'll see how this goes.
My weed consumption has dropped at least. I was high four days this week, which is a lot, but I'm cutting down from being high every day for weeks at a time. I've gotta learn to be sober again. I don't even enjoy being high or want to get high sometimes, and often I immediately regret taking a gummy, but addiction is a pain in the ass.
Autistic instead, but can relate on the perception of time
