lowkey high functioning depression makes me feel like a zombie who puts on a nice skin colored outfit everyday & then i go outside & pretend i am normal & fun & productive & deserve to exist & the second im alone my skin falls off & the awful stench of being rotten fills my nose
people don't realize how exhausting depression is because it's not just being sad all the time, it's losing interest in everything you love and not knowing if you'll ever get back to it
It's really too bad because we could have built a world where we work a little bit but mostly just hang out and have a good time but instead we got this shithole
Neurotypicals: I love Saturdays, so much freedom.
ADHDers: I have 14 hours of unstructured time. By 11am I have done 0 of the 6 things I meant to. By 3pm I have done 1. By 7pm I am grieving the day.
the adhd art of ruining your own alone time. I wanted to read. I’ve been wanting to read since 9:30 pm. It’s 1:14am and I’ve done nothing but go between twt and tiktok and occasionally just stare at my ceiling I HATE my brain at times like these😭
The cruelest joke of ADHD is feeling intensely motivated to fix your entire life while you’re stuck at work. Then you step through your front door and instantly lose the ability to do a single task. It happens daily, and absolutely no one believes you.
