Needed: roughly $500

If any of you mutuals are in a position to donate money, to the cause of helping me recover from one of the worst weeks of my life, would you please reach out? I know things are tight and I've already gotten a lot of help. But this is a survival thing right now, and I'm not kidding. I mean this from the bottom of my heart. I need help. ❤️‍🩹

I need to pay for the remainder of my cat's vet boarding, for a week in this guesthouse, for a $150 visa border run so I can stay in the country legally, and about $450 to cover my storage bill -- it's about to go to auction and I might lose my things.

I am taking daily steps to get this mental health crisis back to manageable, and make some self-care plans. Any assistance you can give to buy me time, helps EXPONENTIALLY.

I want to write code, but my stupid brain won’t let me do that when I actually get to sit at my personal computer lately. It’s all, “Let’s play System Shock 2 Remaster, ADOM, or INFRA.”
I also, at least notionally, want to find another job so I can escape the return-to-office threat/drama and continue to like support my family and have a roof over our heads.

One thing I do not enjoy about having #ADHD is when someone proposes a very sensible solution to a problem I am having and I have to explain that unfortunately, there is no way in hell I will be doing that, because my brain won’t let me.

(It is my experience that many neurotypical people will assume this is due to an unwillingness to try. Mate, I am trying every minute of every second of my life just to keep my head above water. It is very tiring, actually.)

My wife doesn't run a fediverse account, so I'm alerting anyone interested that her new book is part of the itch.io bundle collated to bring awareness of #ADHD in writing for #ADHDAwarenessMonth. There's a whole bunch of different genres included and they're all either written by an ADHD author, or have an ADHD significant character.
"The Players Act 1" is both.
If you fancy $90 of ebooks for $25, please give it a look - all DRM-free.

Genuinely the #ADHD monkey analogy is helpful though. I don’t try to fight the monkey all the time any more. I no longer see the monkey as my enemy, in fact. I have to coexist with the monkey, so I have to make the best of it.

Actually, I would like to one day see the monkey as my friend, but given that we have been smacking the shit out of each other for so long this may take more time, so currently I have an uneasy truce with the monkey.

Sometimes I need to let the monkey have its fun, and sometimes I need to gently remove its hands from the controls the way you might take a toy from a stubborn toddler.

Sometimes the monkey wants to impulse-buy shit off Amazon so I appease it by instead playing Cotton-Eye Joe on repeat for fifteen minutes. I don’t know why this works. The monkey has terrible taste in music, honestly.

Mostly what works for my #ADHD is simply accepting that I have to compete with a dopamine-addicted monkey for control of my brain and organising my life around that fact, because trying to constantly wrestle that monkey into conforming to a neurotypical life is exhausting for both me and the monkey.

I call the monkey Bubbles.

October is #ADHD Awareness month. I was not aware. But then again, time is not super linear for me. I am aware of Halloween however. Very Halloween aware. Can we do a mashup of ADHD awareness month and Halloween please?

Dopamine Chasing Halloween, Halloween Time Warp, etc.

Whenever it feels like the world is full of negativity and division, giving blood serves as a reminder that we can all do something to help others.

It was heartwarming to see plenty of donors, each doing their bit to aid a stranger in need. As always, the staff were friendly and did everything possible to put me at ease. Thank you!

Not everyone is eligible to donate, but there are various acts of kindness that I witness on a daily basis. For example, many sacrifice their free time to support a good cause. Making a positive contribution to the world, of course, can be as simple as being kind to other people ❤️

I'm beginning to question, from personal experience, if those who self-identify without diagnosis as #ADHD may just love weed.
