If you are like me with the anxiety and the depression and the executive dysfunction

- DON'T say to yourself "I need to take a shower"

-showering is a long multistage process that requires you to be vulnerable (naked, wet, blots out sound, what if someone calls/rings the doorbell, etc)

-INSTEAD say to yourself "I'm just gonna go turn on the water right quick"

-small one step task checked off your list

-your anxiety brain is a dumb motherfucker and it will be none the wiser that you have tricked it into BEGINNING the shower process

-once the water is running you are already there in the bathroom with the water running so you might as well finish the job

NOTE that this trick works for like. Fucking everything.

-Don't "work on your WIP"-- just open the document

-don't "make the scary phone call" -- just pull up the number in your contacts

-don't "make lunch" -- just pull out a loaf of bread

-don't "do the dishes" -- just open the dishwasher. Literally just open it

Remember ur anxiety brain is a dumb motherfucker and that you CAN therefore TRICK it into being functional

also bonus tip: for those times when u just need to lie on the floor and be a worthless lump of anxiety-ridden garbage for a few hours, download Duolingo and pick a language. Are you going to be fluent in a week? No. But it's easy to focus on and that way when you've been down there for half a day and your shitty fukken brain is trying to convince you you're garbage because it KEPT you there, you can counter with "excuse you I just spent the last four hours TEACHING MYSELF A FOREIGN LANGUAGE you punk ass bitch."

Good luck out there kids I believe in u

good afternoon to :

  • unemployed autistic adults
  • single autistic adults
  • autistic adult virgins
  • autistic adults who don't have many or even any friends
  • autistic adults who can't live independently
  • autistic adults who need support with everyday activities
  • autistic adults who don't have the support they need
  • autistic adults with interests considered "childish"

none of these things make you less of an adult

fuck you ageism fuck you life ending at 30 fuck you makeup industry forcing us to feel bad about a natural process fuck you hustle culture fuck you instagram fuck you youtube fuck you glorification and deification of youth fuck you who make people feel bad for not having "achieved anything" in their 20s fuck you people who peaked in high school and try to drag everybody down by insisting it's all downhill after 19

You're allowed to enjoy your time, even when you're not doing something society deems "important."

It's productive to enjoy yourself.

Playing video games is productive. Reading is productive. Playing sports is productive. Napping is productive.

I know it's not easy to combat the ideas we've been taught about productivity, but it is possible.

You deserve to enjoy your time. Not every day needs to be spent doing things society deems productive.

My favorite things about Dolores’s character:

  • The fact that she’s very soft spoken and is constantly whispering because she has enhanced hearing
  • She covers her ears before the fireworks go off at Antonio’s gift ceremony
Image
  • Her saying that the only ones worried about the magic was the “rats in the wall,” which she knew was true because she could HEAR BRUNO’S RATS
  • The fact that she knew Bruno was still there because she could hear him but kept his secret
  • And the fact that her description of Bruno was the most truthful and accurate

Anyway idk if anyone else has said it but the reason the Umbrellas had such a different outcome compared to the Sparrows is because Reggie gave up on them the minute he realised he couldn’t control Viktor. He needed seven to complete his plan. The Umbrella Academy was already a failure before it had even really begun.

You gotta go home, man. How do I know I’m not gonna mess it up again? You won’t. Right…it’s a leap of faith.

Less thinking, using the mind, trying to be rational & solving problems & more being, feeling, flowing, experiencing, grounding, moving freely, nurturing that inner child & finding out who you are beyond the seriousness that you put over yourself. Move lightly divine being.
