does anyone else with ADHD feel like they're always one bad week away from everything falling apart and one good week away from feeling like they've finally got it together. every week. forever. 1/6

I love being somebody’s soft spot.
Everybody else gets regular them, I get baby.

one of the weird surprises of being a neurodivergent teenager who speaks very precisely is realizing that better vocabulary doesn’t necessarily make communication easier. sometimes it creates a completely different misunderstanding. you choose a specific word because you’re trying to remove ambiguity, explain exactly what you mean and avoid being misunderstood, only for someone to hear your vocabulary and assume you’re showing off or talking down to them. meanwhile you’re standing there thinking, “i literally chose that word because it was the most accurate one.” apparently being precise can become its own social problem when people interpret the way you communicate instead of what you’re actually communicating.

In Japan, when development reaches a centuries-old tree, they don’t just cut it down.

Specialists spend months carefully preparing the roots so the tree can be moved intact and kept alive.

CPTSD shaped my identity around being useful. Who I could help. What I could carry. What I could manage, smooth over, and make easier for everyone around me.

And I became really good at it. I’m still good at it. But I’m exhausted from always being good at it.

I want to discover what I actually like when nobody needs anything from me. What I think before I look around the room for everyone else’s reaction. Who I am in those few seconds before I instinctively start adjusting myself.

I’m trying to find that person now. Slowly. In the quiet moments.

A legend isn't somebody who never fell. It's somebody whose fall became part of the story.

getting into the habit of waking up happy, no matter what I'm going through. Life could be better but it also could be a lot worse, just be grateful.

"AI is teaching your kids 5 things"

AI IS SLOWLY TEACHING YOUR KIDS THESE 5 THINGS. YOU NEED TO BE AWARE OF IT.

Nobody sat down and taught them this on purpose. That's exactly what makes it dangerous.

There is peace in not knowing.

We eventually get over people, and it's really nice.

Quick reminder: autism is not an intellectual disability.

Some autistic people also have an intellectual disability, but the two are separate conditions that can sometimes occur together.

there’s an uncomfortable pattern in the way the world talks about countries experiencing conflict or political instability when those countries also happen to have valuable natural resources. gaza has offshore gas resources, sudan has major gold deposits, the democratic republic of congo has enormous cobalt reserves, afghanistan has significant mineral deposits, and other regions have oil and strategic resources. none of those facts alone explains why a conflict happens, and it’s important not to reduce complicated histories to a single cause. but natural resources, foreign interests and economic power can absolutely become part of the story. whenever people discuss a humanitarian crisis, it’s worth asking not only what is happening to the people living there, but also what economic interests surround the land and resources.

going to work every day is part of being employed. motherhood can involve an entirely different collection of costs that don’t appear on a paycheck. pregnancy changes your body. childbirth carries medical risks. maternity leave can interrupt a career. time away from work can affect future earnings. sleep disappears. and in many households, the mother can become the person everyone automatically looks to for meals, cleaning, appointments, school issues and nighttime wake-ups. so comparing a husband’s salary to everything his wife has given up to raise their children misses the actual calculation. paid work is only one part of the contribution.

I’m so sick of tone policing. The first draft of anyone’s emotions is guaranteed to be imperfect, illogical, and potentially even unfair. Especially if they’re already traumatized. If you’re trying to communicate in good faith you ask why they feel that way, not how they could have put it better to not offend you while they communicated.

[𝓓𝓮𝓵 @delonperc]

Everyone’s all about “supporting the disabled” until a woman with CPTSD doesn’t respond in the “right” tone during a meltdown 🫩

Then suddenly, all that understanding seems to disappear.

[APAJI @apaji_x]

wait wait wait so apparently if your brain won't let you leave the house until everything is perfect but also cannot start getting ready until it's almost too late, that's a specific ADHD pattern and not just you being impossible? 1/6
