I really enjoyed reading your story. It’s honest about your faults and kind to yourself at the same time. I hope I can find a way to see my own life in a similar way.

I get it, most of my life I’ve had episodes that are more like yours, and my brain just found this and it doesn’t want to let go for a reason. The first couple of months I thought it was the best escape, but once I realized I couldn’t stop, I’ve been despairing. I feel like I’m going mad but more quietly rather than explosively.
Daydreaming. I’m sick of it, but I keep going there.
I like that Cory Doctorow is pretty open about having been scammed despite being quite well informed, because it really can happen to anyone. It just takes the right convergence of factors.
Yes, the mitochondria and all the other organelles. We’re mostly egg.
And people forget that we’re also the egg.
I never knew I wanted to know this much about centaurs.
I don’t see anything mentally unhealthy about what you do, sounds cool.
I was accelerated (though nowhere like this) and for me, personally, it wasn’t great. 14 was not the right age for me to decide to be a doctor and enroll. I did the whole thing and I have the diploma but I never worked in the field because I had completely burned out by then.
Of course I’m also AuDHD and maybe my mental health wouldn’t be any better in different circumstances, we’ll never know.
This is how I feel with my little wild garden. I just visit, show some encouragement, and remove an obstacle or two.
All the time. My life has been pretty good when it comes to external circumstances, but I have a severe lifelong mood disorder.
So I’m constantly feeling bad and there’s never any ‘reason’.
I was very confused until I realized you mean flat elastic bands which I’m not so familiar with (the ones I’m used to, have square cross sections).
So do I. This has more to do with being an terrifying entitled, out of touch billionaire. Who also happens to be autistic.
Same in Sweden, it’s understood that it’s going to suck and you’ll be uncomfortable but that it’ll pass. It’s a given for a lot of people here that it won’t be a problem to stop working while sick. Just rest and small comfort measures (for me, nose spray, ibuprofen if needed, sleeping and whining to myself).
I’m an old millennial AuDHD and I have to resist the urge to use bold and italics everywhere for different kinds of emphasis. I’d use even more variations when available (text size, colors).
When I was younger, I used to do the same in analog form with multi colored pens when taking notes.
Was it because of that other post about the two genders Fe (iron) and Mn (Manganese)?
You painted these yourself? They look so good! (I haven’t seen the originals).
I’m not stating whether he considered it or not, but Brian May being good at one thing (physics) doesn’t mean he’s good at other things.
I find it even better when you think about the oxygen instead of the food, since babies become able to breathe on their own entirely without parental intervention.
I don’t like it, haven’t really needed it, prefer public transport and have terrible motor skills.
