So, I just discovered something interesting.
This is a bit of a long one, so bear with me. It's important. Seriously.
I just woke up a few hours ago. My meds are starting to kick in. I was having a very serious and genuine, deep conversation (in-head) and it was... beautiful. It wasn't happy, but it was beautiful. Not the point.
Point is:
I had not had a single fucking intrusive thought today until someone made a noise in the other room.
I am so fucking PISSED OFF
Why my brain refuses to realize that intrusive thoughts CAUSED the good feeling to go away, I have no fucking idea. I've known that for almost a year now, yet my stupid fucking subconscious refuses to change anything it's doing
Before I snap my fucking android phone in half and yeet somebody's face into neptune, I thought I'd share the discovery!!!!
Basically:
MY INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS DID NOT START UNTIL SOMETHING STARTLED ME OUT OF FOCUS
AS I TYPE THIS, I REALIZE THAT INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS -AT LEAST FOR ADHDERS- ARE A SURVIVAL TACTIC.
Elaborating:
When you fall asleep and your heart slows too much, your body does the falling thing to make sure you're still alive.
It's not that intrusive thoughts are *Just* because your brain gets too quiet, It's because your life has never been completely quite before, or -like me- the few times it is quiet, something interrupts. And even if it doesn't piss you off, even if you don't jump like I do, your brain still registers it as not safe.
--
Falling asleep, heart slows a lot-
Body: *Sends adrenaline just to make sure it still actually works.*
Drowning, even mostly unconscious-
Body and brain: *Hold onto that last half-breath even if it feels like you're head is going to explode.*
Going grocery shopping or talking to someone you think is cool-
Brain: *Remembers what it felt like the first time your guardian was indifferent or mean about something that made you happy or calm.*
Things around you actually get quiet-
Brain *Sends a thought you hate just to make sure you're prepared for a sudden problem.*
TDLR 1: Your brain isn't mean on purpose, It's just paranoid and still has a will to live.
Listen. I know I'm just some random dude from a weird blog. But I'm trying to translate, to assist. Maybe somebody else needs this realization as much as I do. I apologize for the yelling earlier. I'm still just as upset, but only at my dumbass subconscious. Now some time has passed, and I have regained self-control.
(I also apologize for the above paragraph, my brain nags for me to do this, but I can't remember why. So:)
I am no psychologist. Here are my qualifications (why you should listen to me):
As my friends call it- "Disturbingly self-aware at all times."
Paranoid Schizophrenic with actual (unrelated) OCD, with years of experience dealing with it- more healthily in recent years.
Philosophy and deep thinking is simply my default. I use metaphors, but everything in this post is entirely literal, ...except the angry threat. (*begrudgingly accepts disappointment*)
I am a fiction writer. I don't know about healing people/first aid, but I know a LOT about how anatomy works, with many deep-dives on the psychology/evolution side.
People irl generally consider me a genius? Idk how to gauge that, IQ tests are irrelevant with this type of... smart?. I've been compared to both Da Vinci and Einstein. So, ...actually that's pretty fuckin' cool- (I AM NOT TRYING TO BRAG! I APOLOGIZE IF IT COMES OFF THAT WAY! I've never put it all down like this, and I'm just surprised and questioning my reputation.)
(Also, I love playing detective, so naturally I call myself Batman XD.)
Autistic; I experience the world, and every situation, from a view without any context.
ADHD: My brain automatically -As a guardian I hate describes- "Can watch three different movies at the same time, all in fast forward, and can keep up with all of them." ... Well, yes, but technically no. Idk if other ADHD people do this, but my brain "connects the dots" so quickly, I end up laughing at jokes I've never heard before the 'punchline', because I've already figured out what you're going to say next.
Now combine all that. I am kicking depression's ass and now I want to help you do the same.
I have only mentioned the relevant things. Please keep in mind that ALL of these have both advantages and disasters. Thank you for your patience and understanding. I am running on four hours of sleep. For the love of whatever, I hope this actually helps someone other than me.
Qualifications are noted because: This is all stuff (and stuff like this) that I am just always casually aware of.
TLDR2: Even if I wasn't trying to help people feel better, Apparently I was born with a nat 20 perception/insight check, so please don't argue that I truly understand what I'm talking about here.

Here I am, writing about sex while one person is on a wheelchair, with about 10 webpages opened about: sex in a wheelchair, sex with burnt skin, proper sex preparation (adapted for disabled people) and aftercare...
My conclusion? Someone should do a proper free book about ALL of it, with as many images as a common sex education book would have, because, MAN, looking for all this took me HOURS.
Now imagine for someone that is disabled and wants to have info without having to buy a book with close to 0 images.
I'm doing research for writing and thus don't care about spending hours looking for this, or buying a pdf (even if it can be annoying), but I can't imagine the stress of a disabled person wanting to solve questions and having like 3 resources and 2 of them that require payment...
Sex should be more accessible for EVERYBODY!!!

Me: *seeing Red Robin fanart*
Me: *comes through ship art*
Me: oh, ok, that's normal
I was not much into dc until lately so I don't know most of the characters.
However, I did started watching a dc show some years ago. Young Justice. So all my knowledge comes from that. All the characters I know are in the first season of that show.
I usually, when seeing dc ship art, don't get what they're talking about, because the only character in the ship I do know it robin (one of them). So when I saw ship art of Tim x Kon I didn't think much besides "omg bi rep they're SO cool I wish I knew this character"
Guess who just found out Kon is nickname for Connor
--
Me, first time seeing Kon x Tim fanart: Who is this guy why is he with a superman shirt is he superman. Is that some lore I didn't know.
Me, seeing it more times later: Oh, they're queer! :D They are with Red Robin! Why, that is nice. But I don't think much of it because I'm only invested in one of the characters. It's just one more Tim ship.
Me, today: Oh, look! This couple again! :) *sees the tags* Tin drake, red robin, kon el, connor, superboy-WAIT WHAT
THIS IS SUPERBOY???
THAT SUPERBOY??????
*remembers how he was one of my fav characters from young justice and get immediately more excited*
