If you see this, take a moment for yourself.
Have a drink. Get a snack. Stretch a bit. Take a nap.
The world will still be here afterwards.

Can't express how stress free being open minded is.
Some lesbians use he/him? Oh cool.
Some people have people inside their head and sometimes it's fictional chars? Sick your brains like a pirate ship they're all working to run.
Some people like being treated like a pet dog? Bark bark bro.
Being fat isn't unhealthy but a perfectly normal type of body to have? Kinda beautiful how different we can all be.
Something doesn't make any fucking sense? Cool an opportunity to learn. And even if I can't figure it out it's cool we still have mysteries today.
It's just... idk man. People are weird. Being a person is weird. Society is weird. The universe is weird. Rather than having to "normalize" everything, just accept that some people are weird. So are you. Nothing is normal. the rules are all made up. I once saw a Klingon pushing a baby stroller down the street in toronto. The world is a weird place, man. Just roll with it.

Feeling rough lately.
There's a quote from the AIDS epidemic I keep saying to myself, "Bury your friends in the morning, protest in the afternoon, and Dance all Night"
Don't feel guilty for creating beauty, for having moments where you laugh and feel good while the world falls apart around you. Because being miserable and consumed with the bad does no one any good. Dance all night to give yourself strength to bury your friends in the morning.
We will persevere. We will survive. And when it feels like you can't take another step, I'll hold your hand and take it with you.

Anyone who's ever done anything creative needs to fucking see this.
Remember when...
You could actually click/hover on individual users to know who's talking what?
Cuz I have no clue if that's a setting or a feature that they got hidden and unaccessable on their own?
I just want to share the core of the post, not the fuss around it. Or I just want a direct link to a specific part of the post and not the excess banter of eating the user.
But no. Fuck you. You don't get it. It's all or nothing. Bah.

Not to go "if you have ADHD just go for a run" or anything, but I am so serious if you have ADHD you should regularly go outside, no headphones no phone no nothing and just stand and observe for a while until you've had enough. Not until you get bored, until you've had enough. Drink your coffee without watching tiktok. Have a bath without music. Turn down the volume in your headphones. I cannot overstate how much learning to be bored is cruicial with ADHD. Life is not just about pleasure, no matter what your dysregulated dopamine system thinks, and when you teach your brain to be okay with being bored, then boring tasks stop feeling like torture. By letting yourself be bored you are yoinking your system out of the high/low binary and allow for the highs to feel like actual highs and not just anything that isn't low. I am so serious go literally touch grass. Listen to the sounds in your flat. Stimulate your body the way it was designed. It lowers anxiety and makes you feel like you're real and best of all it's completely free
I really wish more ADHD mental health care told you WHY things like this matter to our quality of life.
The Hyperactivity in Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is NOT about being physically hyperactive, it's about having a "hyperactive central nervous system" because it's a form of inheritable dysautonomia. The problem with disautonomia, especially the ADHD kind, is that it makes boredom flag to your nervous system as a THREAT, triggering hyperactive and maladaptive central nervous system processes like fight or flight.
But dysautonomia kills you that way. Literally, part of the reason our average life spand increase on stimulents is that it helps manage risk-taking impulsivity that can get us killed by accident, but the other part is that stimulents can regulate a hyperactive CNS such that it is functionally (while impacted by the stimulent) NOT dysregulated anymore. And PHYSIOLOGICALLY that is essential because the physical outcomes of dysautonomia can reduce your life span by YEARS if not decades through self-perpetuating hypervigelence, endocrine disruption, and adrenal fatigue.
So when the ADHD brain goes stimulation-seeking and a doctor tells you to practice mindfulness, it feels like being told "hey go stand in a functioning boiler until you can stop thinking" rather than WHAT IT IS which is the process of re-teaching your body what is and isn't safe.
Standing outside making mindful, non-interpretive/moralized observation of the world helps your brain and body re-acclimate to the idea that absence of that frantic "busy" feeling isn't a threat or a risk to your safety, and gradually reduces the level of distress that just hanging out somewhere triggers for you.
Learning WHY this stuff was being suggested and understanding what it was actually supposed to do went a long way towards changing my relationship with my ADHD. I am FAR more functional now, far less prone to shame spirals and rejection sensitivity, hell, I can **sit physically still for near on an hour at a time** now without feeling like I'm going to crawl out of my skin.
So yeah. Go outside. Let the world narrow around you and take deep breaths until it stops feeling claustrophobic or like you need to climb walls. Learn how to let little sensations become big ones like the way the heat of the sun on your skin starts as a gentle warming and be omes a unique collection of sensory moments depending on how it lands on you. Listen for sounds under sounds and let them fade in and out as you move your focus from one sound to the next. Enjoy. Move on. Rinse and repeat.
When you no longer feel like the world is actively killing you, it's a lot easier to navigate it.
Starwatching. Literally starwatching. That was my way to root myself while I was feeling like the world around me wouldn't stop spinning me out of control when I were younger and didn't even know I had ADHD. (Got diagnosed at 25.) You don't always need to head outside either. You can limit yourself to your window but if you're feeling well enough to take that step outside and just breath, allow yourself to be, allow your emotions to roll past you... You'll understand you'll be alright. Nothing got you for standing/sitting still for a while. World didn't collapse. You're allowed to have that moment of peace and tranquility. It's best when there's no others around you as those are stimulants, but it's alright if you have someone with you who can just sit and be in the silence with you. (But you have to give one another that space while you experience your surroundings and just appreciate their presence.)

youtube is pulling this bullshit again
praying for the firefox gods to save me once more...
I just fixed this for me!
I use Ublock Origins (and recommend). Once you have it go to Settings and then Filter lists
Scroll down and expand the Built In option. Then uncheck the "quick fixes"
Apply changes and reload your youtube page!
Not sure how long this work around will function so time stamping to 12/20/24 ~4pm EST
Yup I found this on a reddit thread shortly after I posted and it worked for me. Reblogging to raise visibility.
