Menopause is such a fun little season of life
You're exhausted by 2 PM, wide awake at 3 AM, overstimulated by group texts, mysteriously puffier than yesterday, your brain clocks out mid-sentence, and you are one chewing sound away from a felony.
I love that for us
Whoever told me the ADHD hack of putting the directions into GPS and leaving it up while you get ready to watch the arrival time, you are a genius and a lifesaver. Actual game changing ADHD advice
i’m just gonna say it: some of yall aren’t qualified for self checkout. if you don’t have an internal sense of urgency and fine motor skills, leave it to the professionals cause the rest of us are trying to keep it pushin
I paid off my undergraduate loans. I still support canceling student debt. You don’t need to personally benefit from something to know it’s the right thing to do.
I really feel like workdays should be 10am–3pm or 9am– 2pm. There’s no reason for people to spend most of their lives at work. Let people go home and have time for their families, partners, friends, and rest. That’s why everyone is so miserable today.

Neurodivergents texting back (unfiltered):
"Hey! So sorry I didn't text you back for nearly a week (again), my nervous system wouldn't let me open your text until I knew I had time to devote to answering you thoughtfully and thoroughly! But I promise I *thought* about texting you, saw the unopened text, and felt guilty every hour of every day until I finally forced myself...even though now none of this is thoughtful like I planned because it's all an apology instead! Anyways, how are you??"
ADHD is not being able to clean your own kitchen for 6 days but volunteering at a community event for 6 hours on a Saturday because other people's needs activate your brain in ways your own needs don't.
ADHD is not being able to fold your own laundry for 9 days but driving 40 minutes to help a friend move apartments on 2 hours notice. With snacks. And a color-coded plan.
ADHD can seem fun and quirky until you’re too ashamed to reconnect with people because you haven’t had the mental space to reply for 5 weeks, and now the guilt and fear of being judged is too much.
