i'm gonna lose my fucking mind

#he speaks #i'm frustrated with google #ranting in tags #why is it that when i use double quotation marks in the search bar #it doesn't work #i've been trying to look for a specific word #which is the whole fucking point of using quotations marks if i'm not mistaken #but it doesn't even work #and of course when i add 'reddit' to the search bar #magically i find the exact question i've had #and funnily enough #i found this EXACT fucking scenario #and the post is from 9 years ago #god help us all

Hiiiii how have you been love bug? (Please tell me if your uncomfortable with that term since you are non-binary and they/them I’m not sure what nicknames you are uncomfortable with it’s just what I call my friends and just a nickname I have for people in general🫶🏻🫶🏻 ) so I’d like to to request farah with a adhd reader who is hyper forgetful and sometimes has meltdowns ( as someone with adhd)🧡🧡🧡

Hey! I'm fine! Bought some more yarn for my leftover blanket today, which I'm excited to work on! And don't worry, I think love bug is really cute! I don't mind most nicknames, but thank you for being considerate, I really do appreciate it! Hope you're doing well as well ^^

I don't have ADHD, so I don't know at all what it's like for someone with it! I had to do some research on it, so I don't know if these are actually viable methods of helping, but I tried! Please do correct me with something that might help and I'll add it in this post afterwards! I hope this is enjoyable to you regardless! Thank you for the request!

Farah with a Reader with ADHD

Farah doesn’t particularly know a lot about mental illnesses. She may be traumatized, yes, but that doesn’t mean she ever had the time to research any of them. So she’s definitely not the best person to go to when it comes to things like these, but she tries, even if she can’t always understand everything that’s going on. You’re suffering, and that’s enough for her to know she should do something to help you.

You being this forgetful may be a cause of concern for her, though. It’s not every day she meets someone who forgot what they did five minutes prior. It’s especially concerning when it’s something important, though, like seeing a doctor. Although she may be worried for you potentially developing something as severe as dementia eventually, she’ll try to push her worries aside and help you to the best of her abilities. If you ever need reminders, she can help you. Farah remembers and retains things very well, she’s never had any issues with it since she had to in order to get by. If you need to remember something, she’ll remind you a few times a day. You have an appointment? Don’t forget about it tomorrow, I’ll tell you again then. However, she’s also a big fan of post its and will write down whatever it is you may need and place it somewhere she knows you’re going to see it. I know, out of sight, out of mind, but she’ll also text you and have you make reminders on your phone for important things so you don’t forget. Won’t get mad at you for forgetting your anniversary, she can see that it’s hard for you to remember things and won’t yell at you or anything either. However, she will mention that it was your anniversary, or maybe her birthday. For the most part she just wants to spend those days with you, if she can, and will thus remind you. Again, you don’t need to feel ashamed for forgetting, she’ll tell you that it’s quite alright and that you shouldn’t worry. She’s patient like that.

If you have a meltdown in front of her, she definitely would not know what to do at first. Depending on what kind of meltdown it is, she’ll react differently. If it creeps up on you, slowly making you irritated, then she’ll ask you what’s wrong. Regardless of your answer, she’ll ask you how she can help you, if you would like to be left alone or if you would like to take a small break in any way. She gets it and she’ll get you away from whatever is stressing you out so you can slowly recharge. If you really do want to be left alone for a while, she will comply, but will knock on your door to check up on you every once in a while and will bring you some food as well. Farah just wants you to be well, so she’ll take care of you how she thinks might help. Food is always good, food usually helps her, so she hopes it’ll do the same for you as well.

If it’s a sudden meltdown where you don’t know where left and right are anymore, then she’ll get you away from everyone else at first. While she can’t imagine what it’s like for you, it likely isn’t very pleasant for you to be crying and screaming in front of other people. Hoping that you trust her, she’ll try to ground you, asking you how you’re feeling, what you’re feeling and how she could help you. What happened is also another question she would ask you. Again, she won’t really know what to do on her own, but she tries her best. Farah will talk to you in a soothing tone and try to distract you at first so you can calm down a bit. Whether it be cracking a joke or asking you about your top five favorite reptiles. Even if you can’t answer her properly, she’ll just reassure you that it’s okay, that everything is just bad in this moment and that it’ll pass. She’s with you this entire time and won’t leave you unless you want her to. Asks you to breathe a bit with her. In all your time being together, she’s likely learned a breathing technique or two that might help you.

Once your meltdown is over, she’ll be very gentle with you, especially if she can see you’re beating yourself up over it. You really shouldn’t feel ashamed for something that you can’t help, it’s not your fault. If you feel especially down, she’ll give you a kiss on the forehead and get some ice cream with you. Something like a meltdown seems exhausting to her. While she doesn’t want to seem like she’s rewarding you for having a meltdown, she does want you to be kind to yourself afterwards, that’s what the ice cream is for. And if you don’t want ice cream, then some berries, fruits or a small snack will suffice as well. Either way, she’s there for you the entire time until you feel better.

I learned that the hard way #so please do be kind to yourself anon! you deserve it! you seem like such a nice person!

There are a few posts floating around with lots of love and encouragement for artists and writers, but can we take a moment to say thank you to all the beta readers and editors out there? Y'all are incredible. Your services are invaluable and I love you so very much. 💙

#i'm working with a beta reader for the first time in over a decade and I'd forgotten just how big a difference another pair of eyes makes #I've stared at certain parts of my work for hours knowing it was rough but drawing a blank on how to improve it #they're not even finished with the current chapter I've just been seeing some of the google docs notifs come in and it's like #oh shit you're right!! #got me all excited to keep working instead of getting frustrated #soy i know we don't follow each other but if you see this know that i would die and/or kill for you /j /silly #i wish i could buy you a cup of coffee or other drink of your choice at the very least you are amazing #file: storm has thoughts

I hate that if I need to search up colour palettes or want to research comic colouring techniques, I have to spell it the american way to get a wider range. "Color" *shudders*

#it looks so wrongggg #what is colour with U~ ♡ #scribbler's rambles #idk why the american spelling of colour specifically hurts my brain #i read books and fics all the time and the different spelling never bothers me EXCEPT “color” specifically #pls don't take offence to this. I'm just being silly #but pls understand my frustration when google and discord and everything keeps trying to tell me I'm spelling things wrong AND IM NOT #ahem... anyway

i think there's probably something to be said about like. how a concerning amount of your own rights and life are locked behind red tape and prerequisite knowing how to do something "official" and how legal situations work and everything. as well as how technology is being integrated into it all. bc fundamentally a lot of people just will not be able to do these things without help and they don't know how to get that help and the members of ur community that are vulnerable to this like i don't know the disabled the elderly people whose first languages aren't english even just quote unquote "the uneducated" or those who struggled to get an education for any reason are all just CONSTANTLY being fucked bc the formula is locked away and those who put it in place just go "well you should have known". like how could you know what you DON'T KNOW. and these aren't a small percentage of people like i'd say it's literally just. laymen. people you know.

#🐾 #like for example my dad got served a small claims amount for like i think 3k #which he can't afford obviously and there's this whole like personal situation aspect to it #but he missed the hearing because they told him they'd call but really they meant they'd send a fucking #google meeting invite to his gmail account (that he doesn't use) which he'd then have to know how to set up #and now after the fact he's trying to submit different forms to reopen the case and he said like #how are they going to hold it against me that i'm not brainy enough to understand the steps to take #and he's RIGHT it's LITERALLY not fair like yeah if i'd known i would've helped him but if it's not fair that he'd have to rely on someone #else. these people should be taking the fucking initiative and doing what they're meant to do and TELLING PEOPLE how to do things #not telling a 64 year old man who doesn't have good english to find and print pdfs and shit #which sounds really simple sure but it's just like. the entire process is ridiculous. AND IRS FRUSTRATING #like there's hundreds of thousands of ppl just being taken advantage of bc they don't know processes to follow it's ridiculous

[campingwiththecharmings]

ugh, i wanna write so badly y'all but i just do not have the motivation for some reason 😭

#idk if i'm just tired #or if i just have the attention span of a 3 yo #but i open a google doc and just stare at it these days #uggggggggh #frustrating af tbh #*cries softly* #i think a part of it might be too that i just don't feel like anyone really cares either way if i write tbh lol #which is dumb ig but it's how i feel #yay low self esteem #ignore me

hospitals should really have some sort of cab service for post-op patients. what happens when someone needs surgery but has no family or friends to drive them?

my mom had surgery a few days ago and she told me they wouldn't even put the iv in until she had a ride (and since i don't have a license i wasn't much help).

last time i rode with her in an uber and hung out in the waiting room until the surgery was done and she was ready to go and then we uber'd back, but she didn't want to do that this time because ubers are really expensive, y'know?

eventually she managed to get a ride, but what if she couldn't? what if it was a matter of life and death and without the surgery she'd die? what if she couldn't afford to uber there and back? what then?

i seriously think hospitals should have some sort of ride service to drive patients home after surgery — maybe even pick them up, too.

#feel free to ignore my rant #i'm just frustrated at the ridiculousness of it all #my mom would've survived without the foot surgery but the situation could've been so much worse and it's pissing me off #i tried to google it and i don't know if this is true or not but someone said that a lot of people actually die because of this bullshit #and you know what? i can believe it #that's fucked up #healthcare #health #surgery #us healthcare #us health system #american healthcare #american health system #hospital

Person who was raised to be self-sufficient and treated like a capable human being who has learned to do things on their own and can look things up if they're unsure or don't know how to do something and therefore does not fear a problem because they've spent most of their adult life single not relying on anyone except for guidance, and has a tenacity to get things done without any issues or help because they know they have the capability of doing things

Versus

Person who was infantilized all their life to the point that they had to not tell anyone they were moving out because their parents would have convinced them they were too stupid to do anything, and has internalized that lesson so severely that any and all opposition to a smooth plan or being confronted with an unknown is met immediately with panic, confusion, and paralysis, with no thoughts on how to overcome an issue or look up how to fix something and instead of forming a plan, just shuts down

FIGHT

#this is about me and Sawyer #added on top of the way our autism clashes about how we approach things it's just a mess #if I don't know how to do something I will exhaust every single option until I go 'okay how do I do this' #google is my best friend #I can find so many things on google and I research like a motherfucker #sawyer though #love them dearly but like... jesus christ #they'll ask for help and then not understand why I'm frustrated #and then it's like 'am I not allowed to ask for help?' and I'm just sitting there like #'you ARE allowed to ask for help but you are not going to just default to me before you've even attempted anything' #'I need help getting my health insurance' have you even tried getting it yet or are you just assuming the role of Idiot in this play #are you asking for my help or are you asking for me to start the process for you #I get so fucking frustrated sometimes with it because it's like please just try before you ask me

knowing you have adhd is so good dude. i can be like "WAIT. STOP EVERYTHING." and look up "adhd [experience i'm having]" and sure enough, hundreds of results will pop up

#got frustrated to the point of tears with my stupid fucking programming hw host website (mindtap) #(the provided code that ISN'T EVEN THE PART I'M SUPPOSED TO DO doesn't work and i can't MAKE IT work and it WON'T pass me until it DOES) #like a year ago i'd have assumed i'm fucking hideously depressed #but NOW i have the power of googling “adhd frustration” and knowing i'm just extremely sensitive to this hell i'm in

Open letter to Spotify and Google idk whose fault this is

Hey thanks for everything just one little nitpick:

When I say "shuffle my dancing playlist" to the NSA device I would like my dancing playlist to be shuffled. I would NOT like Spotify to make up a "shuffle playlist" based on what it thinks about me and my dancing habits. I would like my playlist, called "dancing playlist", to be shuffled.

Related: When I say "shuffle my working at home playlist", I would like my playlist, called "working at home", to be shuffled. I do NOT want Spotify to make up a new playlist called "working at home" with whatever chill tones it thinks I want to work to.

Spotify. Stop trying. Please.

Sincerely,

someone who literally changed their password because they thought someone was hacking their account

#spotify #can you tell I'm frustrated LMAO #it's my fault for using a google I GUESS

it's so upsetting that 'ravel' and 'unravel' mean the same thing

#i'm so emotionally unstable rn that googling 'what does ravel mean' and getting 'unravel' made me actually tear up #that's so wrong and frustrating and it made me sad!!

for the last 16ish months I was stuck in this fucked up cycle of starting the second draft of my novel, making a mistake or hating it, changing everything and then starting over completely and rewriting everything from the beginning. it sucked SO much and I never got further than chapter 9. got burned out, had to take a break, am now working on a prequel project that I very reluctantly realized was the length and structure of a novel/novella instead of a short story.

in order to break my fucked up cycle of constantly starting over in pursuit of an (impossible) perfect draft I have decided to write the whole thing in long hand. no google docs! no starting over. no intensive editing. so I am writing in long hand for one hour a few days a week and I am finally excited about writing again!

#currently #Captain Swash #AND i am posting this for accountability reasons #because I fully anticipate getting frustrated and wanting to move to google docs (my beloathed) #writing long hand is so different...my brain works differently...it's more meditative. the words come out differently #and i don't feel as anxious and agitated and frankly as hostile as I do when i look at gdocs now #also i think its probs a good exercise to write only for myself and not be able to send the doc to anyone #so that's what i'm doing! we'll see how it goes
