having ADHD and trying to read this entire post, what a wonderful combo
I read it five times
So did we.
I feel like i have so many adhd friends that i understood that on the first read
Perhaps a dilution of Theragen and Scotch could help you calm and re-center.
@ummthatguy I also wish I could. Been on the wagon for a long time. One becomes ten, and -- like ADHD -- it's not necessarily a matter of willpower. Drinking is a destructive variable for me, and I can't have that in my life.
But thank you, I do appreciate the suggestion. It likely wouldn't hurt if my brain were wired a little differently. I'm sure there's a Kelly in a parallel universe who is able to take your advice and is enjoying a nice Glenfiddich on the rocks.
Good on you for recognizing that about yourself and your needs. My good friend with ADHD had to learn the hard way with a few DUI's. They're just over a year sober now and holding together better.
@ummthatguy@lemmy.world oof, that's rough. Some of us do have to learn the hard way, for a number of reasons. Good for your friend, it's no small feat.
Oh, how I wish.
If you tell me to calm down.... Are the walls moving?
Why would you even question that they are moving?!
Because I have to eat a meal before I take my meds and finding the toaster seems overwhelming?!
@verity_kindle, I feel your pain. Even the most trivial and mundane tasks become overwhelming/impossible, even for seemingly easy things like self care. It is so hard to even function as a human being, and it really sucks.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.
