Me: I’ll just do this later
Wife: when is later?
Me: …
But I can! Tomorrow I'm going to start a mindfulness meditation routine that will break me out of this funk...and tonight, Im gonna go to bed early, and get plenty of sleep!
I'm going to start waking up earlier so I can work out before work. Why yes I did buy a weight bench and adjustable weights 2 years ago that have since gone untouched, how did you know?
Are we the same person?
signs point to yes.
At least with a diagnosis I don’t go “stop being lazy you stupid piece of shit… why can’t you just do it!!!” So that’s nice
instructions unclear. obtained diagnosis, still call myself a lazy piece of shit, except now I also feel guilty about calling myself that because it's ableism 🤔
This is the way.
I wish a diagnosis was enough for me 🤣
That does sound nice.
Oh I still do that
All I see is 5-6 hours of doing things. Good job and be kind to yourself!
From my therapist, jokingly: "Jesus Christ, you people can't do anything!"
Get out of my head, Charles
I go directly from panic to existencial dread X'D
Dammit.
Wdym tomorrow? The deadline is at midnight. There is no tomorrow…
Missing out: I then drink out of frustration with myself.
It's a living
I didn't recognise you without the handcuffs 🎶
You have planned for it, thus disrupting the natural order of ADHD and guaranteeing it wont happen how you expected, but some other fucked up order that still accomplishes little.
