In my case, I decided to cut Big Tech out of my life which led to dropping Google Calendar in favor of an open source solution, which works exactly the same except for GCal's one teensy little proprietary extension: reminders.

Living without that snoozable reminder stack for the past 4 years has been like walking around with a hole in my side.

it looks blurry because we're just that exhausted

alone and in silence being the key part of this, after having input shoved thru my brain by other 🦍s for the last seven years whether I had any desire for it or not

The really fucked up situation is when you're stuck in this mode to the point of severe burnout because of your environment which you cannot escape in any reasonable amount of time.

A few years back during a grueling med search I pestered my shrink for a CYP2D6 genetic test and sure enough I'm a non-metabolizer ... it's played into a number of med decisions since then.

I'm easily mesmerized by televisions and have been my entire life!

so many people with executive dysfunction have come to this realization thru memes ❤️

I would add: beyond executive dysfunction, people who also have low intrinsic motivation (ability to "just do it") and/or difficulty initiating, are also not bad people!

while it is our responsibility to always work on and improve our weak points, these aspects of temperament exist as they are, no matter how much moralizing busybodies insist otherwise.
