Methylphenidate just doesn’t have the same ring to it
really wishing I paid more attention in history rn
ADHD meds and therapy. I tried a ton of different methods, but ultimately I was procrastinating for two reasons. 1) my brain finds the things I need to do under stimulating, which feels like pulling teeth, so it looks for stimulation elsewhere and draws me to a different task. ADHD meds give my brain the proper amount of stimulation/reward for doing things that need to be done. 2) for a variety of reasons, I had an underlying current of anxiety around the possibility of failure. Much easier to avoid failure if you avoid ever doing the task. Therapy helps me reason through the anxiety, and realize that I am essentially already failing by not trying, so trying involves a risk of success rather than a risk of failure.
Edit: I still procrastinate plenty, but significantly less than I used to. It no longer reaches a point of nearly ruining my life, now it is just an average level of procrastination compared to my peers. Instead of avoiding tasks for weeks, months, or years on end, I avoid them for a few hours, maybe days at most (if I have the luxury).
I know it’s beneficial to have studies confirm common sense thinking, because sometimes common sense is wrong, but goddamn if this ain’t some “breaking news, water is wet” shit
I visited my family yesterday to watch, and my brother and I kept shouting out “OMG IT’S PEPBUT! IT’S HUNTRESS WIZARD!!” My dad was just like “how do you know?? What is happening??”
I was there for 12 years! Not that it’s a competition. It was a very weird transition at first.
we’re getting a lot of comics in this community recently, comics are not memes

I was thinking the same, it already looks dirty and scratched up! I would have thought it was being towed if not for the context lol
the single ugliest car I have ever seen. my FIL showed me a picture when it was first revealed and I burst out laughing at the 90’s video game car. he was very disgruntled, turned out he actually liked it lol
god, if I didn’t hate this man so fucking much I would feel bad for him
If someone wants a fantastic fantasy audiobook, the His Dark Materials series is voiced by a full cast and narrated by the author. It’s a really awesome series!
