Which absolute psychopath has the one on the right?

[-] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I have near crippling ADHD and prior to moving in with my spouse, my kitchen looked like this, as well as my towels, sheets, cleaners, and spice rack. Having everything ordered took away the mental load, 8 identical towels is one load a week on Sunday plus a spare if something interrupts the schedule. I never had to consider a sensory issue because they're all the exact same towel. Same for dishes, all my cups held the same amount and felt the same in hand. All my plates and bowls were identical so I couldn't have a preferred one. All of them were dishwashers safe and dishwasher design friendly so I never needed to consider if they needed special treatment.

Taking away that thing to think about made a huge difference in clarity of mind because I could then use that energy for other things.

I also have ADHD and I remember that my towels should be switched out every 2-3 weeks. I know this will gross some people out, so sorry if it does, but this is just how my brain functions. in school my teachers frequently told me I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached.

Yes! Absolutely the same for me. I also have ADHD and when living alone I had only one type of everything. Since my now wife and me live together, this it not the case anymore and, if I'm being honest, it sometimes stresses me out. It leads to so much distraction for me, that it makes cleaning and tidying up even harder for me than it already is.

100% this is my struggle.

I want things to be orderly because walking into a chaotic place is mentally stressing for me. I feel overwhelmed by things in the way, I am stressed when trying to find things, and I feel like all the things left out are just more things that need to be done when I already have a lot of things to do. This overstimulation causes my brain to just short circuit and shutdown.....

Only IKEA and Pottery Barn photographers I think.

Someone who just moved out on their own and can afford new kitchen items

[-] Naz@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 weeks ago

That would be me.

My walls are painted white, and are bare of any paintings, posters or decorations.

I rent, and don't own anything.

I don't have any fingerprints.

In the freezer, is a mould containing the exact shape of NATO standard caโ€”

I'm just messing with you lmfao

Go to big lots, buy sets. No more thinking. If get fun mugs, they live up high. Da end
