"LISTEN TO YOUR BODY" IS TERRIBLE ADVICE FOR ADHD. 🤡 If I listened to my body, I would eat 2kg of sugar, quit my job via text, and sleep for 3 years. My body doesn't want "health." My body wants Dopamine. It is a toddler screaming for candy. If I do what it wants, I will ruin my life by noon. Who else has a body that tries to sabotage them daily?
would be very interesting to still have lobsters this size around today. where's little jimmy? oh he got too close to the beach and was dragged away by a lobster. very tragic. but such is life in new england.
I wish I didn't have ADHD.
I'm tired of ghosting friends I love.
I'm tired of starting projects I'll never finish.
I'm tired of apologising for things I can't control.
Anyone calling this a superpower has never had to live inside it.
Friend: Why is your bathroom light purple.
Me: That's the shrimp setting.
Friend: The WHAT.
Me: The shrimp setting.
Friend: There should never be a sentence like that in a normal apartment.
Me: It calms them down.
Friend: WHO IS "THEM."

tiny bubbling sound from bathroom
Friend: Why is your bathtub making aquarium noises.
Me: Okay before you panic,
Friend: THERE ARE LIVE SHRIMP IN YOUR TUB?!
Me: They're temporary guests.
Friend: You have CRUSTACEAN TENANTS.
Me: Their tank filter broke.
Friend: So your solution was "bathtub commune."
Me: They're actually thriving.
Friend: One of them just looked at me with intent.
Me: That's Marcus.
Friend: WHY DOES THE SHRIMP HAVE A NAME.
Me: Because he survived The Incident.
Friend: I'm scared to ask.
Me: Costco parking lot. July 2024. We lost good men.
Friend: THEY'RE SHRIMP.
Me: You don't understand war.
People who are introverted and have ADHD see a text and are like “I’ll deal with this when I have the social and emotional energy for it” and then fucking forget about it for a week. Anyway, I’m people.
@theghoulsgrave@RealPostFolder I mean, I was 4 when I discovered masterbation. I wasn’t abused or anything. Just realized it felt good and I got shamed for it and it fucked me up for a good long while. So no, I think dad did the right thing.
