Oh, by the way, I talked again to my neighbor, and I made a joke and he repeated his joke, but it didn’t bother me, because I knew his intent, + I mouth off judgy shit too much myself (but man don’t go telling them about it!). I was able to emotionally regulate++! Then the dog was a dick and wouldn’t come in so I got mom involved. #adhd #rsd

Today I am dong my best.

So are you.

So my neighbor stopped by to ask me about some tree trimming we need to do. We walked across my lawn, and the plants are 4-5” tall. I apologized to him for how bad it looked. He told me that people are ask him if the home was abandoned.

“When are you going to take care of that?” I mumbled something about the hospital et al.

My deepest shame, on display for everyone to judge.

I am crushed. I hate this world.

If you need help, let me know.

Happy #Easter.

I didn't make it to church.

I really freaking hate #ADHD and #RSD sometimes.

#SociallyAwkward

I should really sign up for the next class they're doing it in my church, so that I have, you know, a reason to go there.

I know that's gotta sound really awkward to anybody who doesn't have ADHD, but anybody who does have ADHD will instantly understand what I'm saying.

Addendum: Structure is everything to the ADHD brain. Just going somewhere, even if you know people, is freaking terrifying. But if there's a class or something with structure, suddenly, you're in your element again.

This is true. And while I people very well in specific domains where there is a set structure (which may actually make me a good manager in certain contexts), I definitely don't know how to people well in general.

For one thing, it kinda sucks when my brain:

  1. Likes to forget that people exist (#ADHD object impermanence)
  2. Always assumes that people are angry/disappointed at me (#RSD / #RejectionSensitivityDysphoria)
  3. Does a poor job of picking up on social cues (#SocialBlindness)

Fortunately, I don't have a severe case of most of these, except for the second one, which is pretty awful.

Also, while I don't like harping on "my story" (because so many have gone through so much worse), I did go through a very "Twilight Zone"-esque experience where I found all of my friends to be, well... nazis or political zombies, depending on how you want to look at it. Of course, that was preceded by about half a decade by an experience of abuse and rejection in my personal life which was pretty terrible, so I'm generally a bit f'd-up in the head when it comes to "peopling."

But I'd still like to improve. I don't live in my past. It's not a happy place, and past me isn't someone I have any allegiance to, in terms of spending emotional energy re-living.

I think there's a lot of freedom in that mindset, honestly. I sure as heck spent enough years chained to the hurts of the past. That's no freaking way to live.

SHUDDER TO THINK
Music From The Motion Picture First Love, Last Rites
2025 U.S. RSD Ltd. Ed. pressing

I only bought two #recordstoreday titles this year, and both were by Shudder To Think, one of my most cherished bands.

This is the first time that this great soundtrack has been on #vinyl , & I’m still very surprised by how few people know it.
Most of these songs feature the band fronted by guest singers, including Jeff Buckley, John Doe, Billy Corgan, & more.
