Oof, you’re not joking. There was a community somewhere else on the internet who was 100% about that bullshit. Some days, you just want to be able to do the fucking laundry. Or in my case, make the marinara sauce. I took meds today and I’m all focused but I’ll be damned if I can start cooking. Executive dysfunction can really fuck right off forever.
why I’m not interested
There’s that depression-like emptiness where once a whole-life obsession was! I’m really grateful that I’ve gotten to a point in my life where I recognize that feeling for what it is, because that helps me a lot in coping with it. “Why am I not having fun anymore?” It can be such a bleak thing, but I’m lucky enough (I recognize not everyone is!) to be able to objectively realize that’s what’s wrong with me, and now that it’s been identified, to set aside that feeling and wait for the next hyperfocus.
You’re for sure right. There’d be less struggle. There’d be less strife. And I wish you could give it up, and be those things, and not have to kill yourself to do basic, normal things every day. But I think I’d keep it.
Hey, thanks for the conversation. If you ever need an accountability person, my DMs are open!
