That Thing Where You Lay In Bed And Youre Ready To Sleep But You Are Still In *thinking* Mode So You

that thing where you lay in bed and you’re ready to sleep but you are still in *thinking* mode so you just kinda lay there gesticulating while imagining youre making a youtube rant at the same time youre reimagining again and again the fanfic scene you wanna write if you actually had the capacity to think in words inteaad of really specific images and sounds anyway hate that whish it could be turned off

this is brought to you by a doodle i did with my pointer finger on my phone at 4:30am. cheers

it should be illegal to provide subtitles that don’t……. match the fucking dialogue. some shows on netflix (and probably many other places) think it’s okay to just leave out a bunch of words.

sometimes it’s words they don’t consider important for some reason but absolutely do affect the meaning and tone. sometimes it’s swear words, which is even more insidious - disabled people don’t need censorship wtf.

not only are you actively misrepresenting the dialog people have every right to assume is rendered word for word, it’s also incredibly distracting if you can hear or lipread what’s actually being said.

Stuck.

(it’s 2am, and according to your therapist, you have “a whopping case of ADHD”

Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas has ADHD!

Requested by hyperfix-action.

My mother with (probably) ADHD: Help I get focused super hard on one project or business for a few months, spend lots of money starting up said interest, then drop it before 6 months is up. Also I put all my effort into studying for a career I'm good at but has turned out to be super unfulfilling to me personally.

My sister with (probably) ADHD: Help I have difficulty experiencing empathy and get angry far too quickly. I especially can't handle scolding or reprimandation, no matter how light the issue is. Also Noises Are Bad.

Me, diagnosed as a child with ADHD: Help I experience extreme hyperfixations on fictional worlds and characters to the point of learning everything I can about the making of said media, studying the intricate lore within the world, or picking apart a character's psychology and finding headcanons where there probably aren't supposed to be any, and can channel my euphoria from said hyperfixations to help with school worl only sometimes. Also Noise Sensitivity and Sentimental Clutter Hoarding.

it's so stupid, adhd is a dozen vaguely related neuroses in a trench coat, including such popular hits as
