the commodification of friendship is the most annoying thing to come out of the internet in ages. like actually i love to break this to you but you're supposed to help your friends move even if it's hard work. or stay up with them when they're sad even if you're gonna lose sleep. you're supposed to listen to their fears and sorrows even if it means your own mind takes on a little bit of that weight. that's how you know that you care. they will drive you to the airport and then you will make them soup when they're sick. you're supposed to make small sacrifices for them and they are supposed to do that for you. and there's actually gonna be rough patches for both of you where the balance will be uneven and you will still be friends and it will not be unhealthy and they will not be abusive. life is not meant to be an endless prioritization of our own comfort if it was we would literally never get anywhere ever. jesus.
me being an insane enough person to want to ask my friends to tw their gym posts vs me being sane enough to recognize sane people don't need that (and I won't bring it up) (mostly because it requires a follow-up and "I'm jealous I can't work out like that but I had to stop because it was hindering my ed recovery" is not something I want to be saying still SEVEN YEARS INTO THE RECOVERY)
Okay so like... it is so hard for me to fit gaming into my schedule because even with a chaotic family life, I really should have a few hours a day to play!
But I have severe unmedicated ADHD so...
So my usual issue is "I can't do anything because I have work to do" but I also spend a lot of time in executive dysfunction and ADHD paralysis which means I will sometimes do nothing, not even work, even though that's all I can think about, until I absolutely have to work and I panic that I'm running out of time….
So that's a whole lot of nothing - or a whole lot of doom scrolling, getting sucked into a youtube rabbit hole, etc
So what if, instead of getting stuck opening and closing apps for no reason, I just start playing a game !!!!
Like... what if I make it so that the reason I run out of time is not because I sat in a state of dissociation and ADHD paralysis but because of gaming!!!
Right like I should just start playing a game and then after a few hours I say "oh shit I need to work!!" - WHICH IS SOMETHING I WOULD SAY ANYWAY, whether I have been playing a game or not! So I feel like I might as well get some game time in if I'm gonna be panic working at the last minute *anyway*
I have an idea on how to trick myself into fitting gaming into my schedule hold on let me articulate my thoughts
