#i also managed to shower

[beautyinthediss0nance]

It’s now hours later.. still have neither napped or eaten.. but I did successfully complete side quests..

#personal #audhd #adhd #adhd things #adult adhd #adhd problems #actually adhd #i’ve also been unmedicated for days #i changed my phone plan because a black friday deal was an upgrade to my current plan for $15/mth less #while on hold waiting to talk to an agent #i ordered a new iphone because I could trade mine in and it’s 4 years old #i also managed to shower #and collect/open my amazon packages #and order a new case for the new phone.. #but yeah.. no eating or napping #why would we do essential things #that would make sense

Things that I either forget to do but make my brain happier when I do them:

Brush teeth

Shower

Change sheets

Take my empty cups to kitchen

Throw garbage away

Fold laundry

Take a little walk/sit outside for a bit/open windows for fresh air

I recommend any of these to those of you who struggle with chronic pain/depression/health issues if you find yourself overwhelmed for "literally no good reason"

Being overwhelmed for ????? reason is usually a sign there's something basic you're forgetting to do.

#dantes vibe corner #spend 4 months bedbound and you figure out exactly what shit sets off The Bad Brain #but still forget how to tell what it is that needs done #today for me it was shower and brush teeth #the clutter was also very bad but i managed!

How do I get things done?

How do I not get stressed about one thing I have to do and have it keep me from accomplishing anything else? How do I manage to buy groceries and take my cat to the vet and still sit down to draw? How do other artists do studies, finish personal work and other projects, cramp in appointments, chores, handle social media and keep in touch with friends without feeling absolutely stressed out...? I can't figure it out. I can only do one of these things in a day and... I don't get it. What is your secret

#wondering what is wrong with me #I've tried making lists #making a schedule #it's not helping #I'll have breakfast and suddenly it's 11 am and I have take a walk and also shower at some point and of course my livestream starts at 9pm #and don't forget to eat and text your friends and there's a letter you gotta send and this email needs a response #oh you wanted to draw or write? sorry day's over get some sleep we'll try again tomorrow #only that it'll be the exact same thing tomorrow #and if I'm real lucky I'll be in a bad mood and manage to accomplish even less than usual #and did I mention I'm not even working? #other people can do it so why. am. I. so. bad. at. this?? #something to bring up with my therapist I suppose

Bruh people aren't fucking lying about COVID fatigue goddamn

#covid #life of sponty #ive been sick since i got back home on 12th #infected probably 1 to 3 days before that #so im coming up on 2 weeks of covid #and right now the worst symptom remaining is the fatigue and exhaustion #i got up and showered and sat at my desk for 30mins and now I'm so exhausted i have to go back to bed #it's effort to stroke the cat #the other day i did a small physical exertion and afterwards was so intensely tired it tooo about 6 hours of recovery #just to be able to lift small objects without dropping them #shits fucked bruh #also I'm getting the classic taste fuckery and bitter and alkaline flavours are literally making me choke #it's wild #desperately hoping it doesn't last because i really dont want to lose onions forever #i love onions #i was scared for a second that I'd lost mango too but it turns out it's just the mango skin flavour. the flesh is fine #cough was only monstrous for like a day #rest of the time it's not been any worse than ive had from normal nasty coughs. pretty manageable #the fatigue is wack though #I've never been this weak before #it's kind of fascinating from an authorial perspective #this is going to be useful experience for the writing banks

We've heard this song and seen this dance before

With season 2 of Wednesday confirmed, and all the promo interviews being said, older sapphic fans are hearing the beginnings of a tune and dance we've seen before. "Not writing out the possibility of (x female ship)" all the while giving more promo to the het ship; personally reminding me of Supergirl using queer fans for views all the while having a good majority of air time be spent dragging Lena and Kara's relationship through the ringer. And yet despite that, Supercorp fans who were there from the start managing to keep creating wonderful works of fanart to keep the ship alive, despite the show itself desperately trying to make heterosexual relationships the ship(s) to "root" for despite the people making the show knowing people wanted the sapphic ship over a hetero ship. Wednesday and Enid's relationship may follow along like Kara and Lena's or maybe in an unexpected twist Netflix allows the showrunners to make it happen; regardless I think that as long as fans don't let questionable decisions about the show and their characters kill the want to create fan-works for WenClair, Wenclair shippers and the ship will be fine. (once again look at Supercorp as an example, it might not have been canon, but the fan-works are still happening, and it's hard to deny how close Lena and Kara were at the end of the series.) Canon may be one thing, but it's not like Fanon is less valid now a days. So whatever is headed towards Sapphic Wednesday fans, keep creating that good sapphic juice.

#lgbtqi+ #sapphic #sapphic struggles #shower thoughts #I've heard this song and dance before #i've seen this before #supergirl #wednesday netflix #wednesday #wenclair #supercorp #queerbaiting #fandom positivity #buckle up it's probably going to be a bumpy ride #I wanted to also mention swanqueen fandom managing to keep creating sapphic fanart but that is a tad different compared to supercorp

need to come up with a better plan for when I get home too exhausted and end up unable to do anything, like not even get pre-made food and eat it, than sitting at my desk and scrolling on my phone for like 2 hours

one thing that sort of works is to...not sit down, just keep moving, go straight from putting my bags down to the shower or whatever. but it also kind of sucks.

and like...taking a moment to catch my breath and pull myself towards myself and consume some water and electrolytes and shit (already at desk) is probably good. I just need to have a way of doing it that kinda...wraps up and lets me get back to the next step in a more reasonable timeframe

#m #maybe I also should not be exhausting myself that much on a regular basis #but I don't think we're winning that one #I managed to get the food from fridge to desk and I'm still stuck here spinning my wheels somehow #it's already 10pm I still gotta shower

✨⚡️ Seven(ish) Sentence Sunday ⚡️✨

Tagged by @acountrygirlsfun (a couple times by now, though not actually this most recent time, but I figure it still counts!) Thank you, Caitlin <3 <3 <3

Helix took a deep breath in, counted four flashes of the desperate direct-@ lights coming in from his side chat panels, and breathed out.  His voice came out steady, and miraculously casual.  "We understand why you did it. You were trying to keep our brothers safe." He watched Harp's eyes go wide at the 'our' brothers. Like he hadn't expected the rest of them to claim the Corries. Because he'd been hiding from them just like from the longnecks, he had falsified his— Deep breath in. Two flashes, no time for longer, leave no silence for Harp to panic in.  Breathe out. Keep going. 

This is not seven sentences, but it's also largely not complete sentences anyway, and it is literally what I just seconds ago finished writing. Still counts!

No-pressure tagging uhhh @ialpiriel, @goingsparebutwithprecision, @anaclastic-azurite, anybody else who might want to play?

#tagged by #acountrygirlsfun #I should be taking a shower and going to sleep but this scene isn't clicking so rather than getting frustrated I'm posting it here #I will have to go back through in my rewrites later and make sure everyone doesn't have their breakdowns in the same way #I do a bit better when the characters are speaking out loud #but for internal thought processes I tend to end up with them all sounding suspiciously similar to my own. whoops #anyway this is more of the good data management AU! we've just learned that the Corrie Guards Are Not Okay #and now most everybody else is also Not Okay! we're having bad times today folks #in the story I mean.

Yesterday I took out my summer clothes (they were in a box under the bed) and made piles of what to keep / give away / throw away & did the same w/ the winter clothes that were already in my closet (+ drawers) and then organized it all and shoved my winter clothes under the bed . & before that I'd been scribbling like cray z on my notebook literally Planning for Planning writing down things I feel I should think about when trying to make my game (but tried to make it more general yk) and I kinda grip the pen really hard when I focus and I have all my fingers chewed up so it hurted a lot . and then I did a section of the language course for uni that I'm taking Before uni cause if you pass it before March you get to skip the class during the semester . & I had also done my bed in the morning ....

& like this is fucking SCARY cause I've never been able to do so many things in one day semi-unprompted I've NEVER had that much energy and today I naturally woke up at 8.30 like you don't understand this is so so scary because I'm somehow doing so many things and IDK how long it's gonna last before I go back to moping around & laying in bed all day .... the only downside to doing so many things is that my body reaaaally fucking hurts ESPECIALLY my back + waist + neck

#diary #I literally feel like a sim making mac n cheese AHHHH THIS IS SO SCARY THIS IS TOO SCARY AHHHHH #the only thing I haven't managed to do like. better. is showering hashtag old habits die hard . or smth #and my appetite has been weird too cause I don't mind eating but I also never wanna eat anything in particular #UNCLE BEN WHAT DO YOU WANT TO EAT . IDK

[torchiiko]

how come actual self care is a nightmare. i have to go shower bc i plan on Going Outside tomorrow & i Want to shower bc i like feeling clean & overall i dont mind showering yet ive been on tumblr for like 2 hours. i Will shower starting NOW

#yucky confession i kind of have a problem maintaining my hygiene bc it doesnt feel. “Urgent” enough ig?? #in my head there are deadlines for drawing & stuff & i Gotta Get It Done but things like showering or taking out the trash feel put off-able #its gross & i gotta get better at it but at the same time i feel like i cant justify constantly changing clothes just to stay inside all day #is like this a mental health thing or am i just gross. it could also be a time management problem but that doesnt make it. less gross :/ #torch chatter

[littlehen]

.

#spent the past few days totally focused on preparing a job application #managed to submit it at midday shortly before the deadline #late this afternoon I took a shower and afterwards I saw I had a missed call + voicemail asking me to call back #but by then the office was closed so I will have to call back in the morning #they must be offering an interview right? #they wouldn't phone me to say my application was rejected #haven't had an interview or updated my CV in 10 years so I am freaking out slightly #last week I asked for a preliminary tour of the workplace and met the boss informally #she chatted to me about the job and my experience for like 50 mins so that is also promising? #argh I don't know it's all a bit daunting but sometimes you just have to be brave and try something

People who offer solutions to my problems should all be required to take part in a 30 day free trial of living with all of my conditions just to ensure that their helpful tips are realistic and not actually just one more obstacle on the list of never ending obstacles that I have to manage everyday

#listen i dont hate getting advice or well meant suggestions #however i am exhausted and overwhelmed and constantly managing the maximum amount of things i can manage #i would like real help #i also would like to see how other people manage my conditions because i honestly dont know if im naybe just being a baby about it or not #like i wanna know how this effects other people but also would never wish this upon someone #i just need to know that I'm doing my best #or if im not i need to know what i can do better #i just reeeeally dont think my friends understand the amount of energy that it takes to barely manage #im at the point where i spend half the week resting in preparation to take a shower and do the dishes #and the other half recovering from doing them #if i even did #yes i dont shower very often i know its gross blah blah blah #its usually like 4 days between showers atm i think #dishes is like one to two weeks tho #i cant keep up with even the bare minimum amount of things and it sucks #all of the real solutions cost money #i also hate to list all of the ways that the help is not helpful when people are trying to help #because then i sound like i dont want help :(( i sound bitter and mean #and i dont wanna come across that way

[image description: tags that read, "#every day #sorry but I was in a wheelchair for a few months and I got assisted showering every day #only excuse really is disabled people who don’t receive assistance." end image description.]

these tags on this poll suck literally so much. everyone in the notes is being really judgmental for no reason (especially when a lot of people just will have really unhappy skin if they shower daily) but this one really grinds my gears like... 1. there are a lot of disabilities that might make showering harder, and in some cases showering is hard because of the physical experience of being in warm/hot water. if i stand up in the shower i feel dizzy and unstable while i'm in the shower and then like i'm getting a cold for the rest of the day. before i got a shower chair i would have to take really quick showers. and even sitting in the shower can be really hard depending on the day and how i'm feeling. some people with similar conditions to me literally can't sit up even when they're not in the shower. but also 2. hello "only excuse is disabled people who don't receive assistance" that's literally... such a large swath of disabled people. i'm glad this person got assistance when they needed it but so many people don't even realize they might need assistance, and then when you do realize it the chances of actually getting it are really low. like... having someone available and able to help you in the shower every single day is such a massive privilege. being able to shower every single day, even sitting down, even with help, is a massive privilege. AND THAT'S IF YOU EVEN WANT TO SHOWER EVERY SINGLE DAY TO BEGIN WITH.

#lifeblogs #god. whatever #people act like cleanliness is such a moral thing i don't know #like you're not better than anyone because you shower more often #for the record i feel my cleanest and most comfortable when i shower every other day #i grew up in a shower-every-day kind of household but it's not my vibe #but it's literally just down to hair and skin type and body odor and personal preference #also i bet a lot of those people being like 'if you shower less than once a day never go outside' #know a lot of people who shower less than once a day and just don't know it. because it doesn't come up #ALSO ALSO ALSO. 'in a wheelchair for a few months' some people are in a wheelchair their WHOLE LIVES. #it's a lot easier to find consistent and safe support when it's temporary i think #i don't know like i don't use a wheelchair myself but my god #i don't think my wheelchair-using friends are managing to shower daily i'll say that much ;JLKFSADJ;KLSADF

Managed to work more today ! i'm still not up to where i wanted to be (which is the same place that i hoped to be at sunday evening last week...) but i managed to advance quite well one thing, and i have a better view of what is left / what i need to do. Most importantly this also calmed down the anxiety quite a bit with geting my brain some 'look i'm doing something about it, chill with the signals'

#3615 my life #work tag #got very tired in the early evening and retreated to bed when i felt i would just hurt myself if i tried to continue #you know where you don't manage to do anything but still use time so you neither advanced nor rested #managed to wash my hair shower and eat and if i brush teeth now i'll have nearly 7h sleep this works #tomorrow before going home i'll make a quick detour to see the blooming prunus trees they planted this year near me #i know i'm privileged re: my work #compared to other people #but also i'm french and complaining is a national pastime and i need to exteriorise more so. #good luck to all the workers for tomorrow !
