i want to paint, but autism is hungry and needs to be fed 8hrs of skyrim a day
#i'm trying to set up to paint bc i want to!! but every bone in my body says no
#i'm gonna feel sad and disappointed in myself if i don't paint because i want to actually *do* something
#and not spend this whole weekend having barely even scraped the surface of what i truly genuinely wanted to do
#and instead just burn away the time looking at skyrim
#i'm not even really having all that much fun playing it!!! but i can't break away from it
#which isn't always a bad thing especially on week days but? on a long weekend where i want to enjoy myself??
#and i can't because my brain won't let me??? not fun!!!
#painting is so boring and understimulating and my brain is way too foggy right now to think about mixing colors and layering
#(secretly i don't even want to paint i just want to feel satisfied at creating a thing!!) (my brain is too fried to hold a thought long
#enough to do the physical action of painting! it sounds wayyyy too daunting and taxing right now!!)
#but if i spend this whole weekend having sat on my ass doing nothing will i feel rested? no!!!
#but if i spend all my energy doing A Hobby will i feel rested? also no!!! but then i'll at least have something to show for it
#i'm riling myself up and i feel like i ALMOST could make myself paint right now
#but as soon as i think of what it will feel like to sit here and focus and move my hands to do the painting my brain screams NO
#and sure i can argue i'll feel better if i do it i'll be glad if i do it and it'll be easier once i start
#but this isn't the walk i took yesterday (that i was glad i took but still felt like garbage after)
#i WANTED to take a walk. i was just struggling with the level of exertion i could manage (walk my neighborhood or drive 30min to the park?)
#my brain is latching on to 8hrs a day of skyrim bc that's all i have the energy for
#work has been killing me
#and it's so painfully bright in my apartment but i can't close the curtains bc i need all the sunlight i can get
#i WANT to have the energy to paint and enjoy it but i just don't.... (but i feel like if i Give In to the exhaustion then i'm
#no better than my mom who just sits around all day refusing to live her life bc she refuses to take care of herself.
#and calls sitting perfectly still—instead of actuvely managing her condition—'not letting her disability win')
#(so i don't want to be that. i don't want to waste away like my mom bemoaning how i Just Can't when i totally can!!!
#i could push through this exhaustion and hype myself up but the only thing i'm going to be thinking about is Am I Done Yet? Can I Rest Now?)
#and i can't convince myself that 'just paint for 30min' is worth it bc mixing paint and setting up is Just So Much
#enough that 'just 30min' is a lie and not a legitimate out if i need it to be
#i need to commit or not do it. and i just can't......... my eyes hurt and i'm tured and i just wanna play my game
#and all this indecision and feeling like i'm wasting time is just making me want to cry. im gonna close the curtains and boot up the xbox;(
