Glim, to ADHD

You know what's great about working on a Linux machine?

The infinite possibility to customise everything to your heart's content, change colour scheme, fonts, backgrounds, shortcuts to truly make it your own!

So many customisations that you forget that you are at work and realise you're in a giant rabbit hole again... please send help 🥺

izabelamisiak,

@Glim Hey, can you listen to music at work or is it not possible?

izabelamisiak,

@Glim Yeah, same here... Anyway: sometimes I can use different music as a bridge to another activity. Not sure if it would work for your brain, though!

(And: playing with Linux to make it nice and cozy sounds like a very comfy hole ;) So your struggle is seen!)

Maybe I dont belong here if this is the **** I get when my conditions make a mistake.

izabelamisiak,

@GreenRoc I'm so sorry people are yelling at you. It's not right. Sending hugs if approved.

Please take care of yourself 💚

Me expecting a monster hunter post 😃

Me remembering that MH stands for mental health too 🥲

izabelamisiak,

@elisa Oh, sorry... But also: you did a good deed: now when I think about my mental health, my brain will replace it with "monster hunter"-ing. What a treat!

Glim, to ADHD

After three years of fighting since a "specialist's" dismissal summer of 2020...

Almost three decades of struggle and hardship through life with very unsupportive parents...

Today I finally got my diagnosis on paper. I feel like an immense weight has been lifted of my shoulder

I'm finally entitled to support 🥹 I finally have an explanation to a lot of things in life

izabelamisiak,

@Glim 💚

Drawing with nib and ink is a very unforgiving art, but damn, does it feel good!

Back in the "good ole days", most shows had more than 10 episodes per season. I know it's hard to believe, but trust me.

izabelamisiak,

@JeremyMallin I can agree to less than 10 (or 5) episodes if the series is from the UK, but from US series I still expect 24 😁

Regarding Windows OS...

My favorite overall is XP.

I been using computers since before Windows 95, I have an unused, with code, Windows 95. I have a notebook with Windows 95 installed.

I have a computer with XP unplugged from the internet for a long time.

I have another computer unplugged from the internet this year with Win7, because I need the windows photo viewer for my personal needs and visual stimming.

Damn Steam wont work without verified login, I really do NOT wanna reconnect my 7.

izabelamisiak,

@GreenRoc I agree, XP was the best one - I really miss it! And Steam is going to stop working on 7 at the end of the year. So I guess I'll stop playing my Windows games 😕

izabelamisiak,

@GreenRoc The way Steam works is absurd! I have no other words for it.

And so sorry they make your life harder/more complicated :(

philmscribe, to screenwriting

Struggling with your book or screenplay? Here's a quote to help take a little pressure off.


izabelamisiak,

@CynAq Yeah, for neurodivergent people, it's not advice we could follow (for so many reasons) - at most, an interesting experience of a person.

What helped me get back to writing is that I allow myself to write badly, and I don't think about it in terms of days, word counts, or pages, but of practice or revising the whole thing (through different lenses, one at a time; and there is no cursed lense "is it good"). That works for this AuDHD brain, for now - and I'm glad because I enjoy writing.

So I'm starting so share good things. And I want to create a new hashtag or so to use when you want to jump into sharing hopeful news.

Below is an article about how to change cities so they heat up less. We'll need this in order to survive the heatwaves that will happen more often and become stronger.

These things are doable.

https://grist.org/project/cities/extreme-heat-resilient-city-design-urban-planning-climate/

(You could also do worse than subscribing to Grist.)

Let's unite around building a better future.

izabelamisiak,

@Tattooed_mummy @Firlefanz would also be a good fit here :) Have a great day!

izabelamisiak,

@Firlefanz Oh, but it doesn't! At least - it's not just that :) It's also a movement in activism.

Here's a first sentence from the manifesto:
"Solarpunk is a movement in speculative fiction, art, fashion, and activism that seeks to answer and embody the question “What does a sustainable civilization look like, and how can we get there?” "

And here is the whole thing: http://www.re-des.org/a-solarpunk-manifesto/

This hashtag is used very much for real solutions and possibilities.

izabelamisiak,

@Firlefanz Both the hashtag and the term work great in the community and are not an easy find for people who don't know it, that's for sure.

But it can help show your posts with good solutions to more people who are already interested in creating a better future right now :)

izabelamisiak,

@Firlefanz 💚

I believe we need all the people, all the ideas, and all the points of view to build a good liveable world for everybody. And I do believe we need all the cooperation we can get :)

And competition can retire along with capitalism and toxic pollution ;)

(I'm also happy to follow your new hashtag - there is never enough good news in my timeline!)

Today’s mood : making a to do list with tiny baby steps such as
▪️Get out of bed
▪️Have a tea
▪️Brush my teeth
▪️Get dressed
▪️Bake a cake

At least even if that’s all I’ve made by the end of the day, it would be much more that some previous days, and I allow myself to be proud of me for each ✔️ made.

(There is also more challenging stuffs but not mandatory AT ALL).

izabelamisiak,

@anomaluridae Hey, you shared your to-do list with us - this also deserves to be checked off the list (not sarcasm). Sending hugs (if allowed) and love, I hope this day will be easy for you 💚

Shopping clothes is a huge issue for me. What I sometimes describe as "clothing store phobia", can perhaps be broke down to:

  • (Fear of) sensory overload: harsh lighting, music, advertisements, amounts of clothes and information to process
  • Anxiety because of uncertainty (e.g. about the available products and their prices)
  • Social phobia: Sometimes there are a lot of people in shops. Will they judge me for being "weird" (queer & neurodiverse)? Will I be brave enough to ask the sellers if I have some question? What if someone interacts with me and my brain shuts down?
  • Agoraphobia
  • Perhaps lightly traumatic experiences from sensory overload from previous store visits
izabelamisiak,

@maxi One of my strategies is to choose colors I'm looking for (or: I'm avoiding) in advance - it makes it easier for me to filter things out and not get overwhelmed.

If anyone else struggles (like me) w/ consistency and building habits or employing strict daily routines, this YouTube video by Elizabeth Filips, "You're Not Lazy: How to Live a Chaotically Organized Life", will vindicate you. If you are prone to deep work (when you finally get to a hyper focused state) even if it seemingly takes FOREVER to get to this point, this video provides insight on how to prime yourself to get there.

izabelamisiak,

@flowerpot Thanks for the recommendation! This was a much-needed reminder - striving for consistency and small doses of things make me miserable. And I should stop forcing that stupid* method on myself.

*stupid for me as it simply doesn't work great; I'm sure it's smart for some other people

Do you like stomping and dragging your feet through the dry leaves? 🍂 I so enjoy it, the sounds of crushing, how they szeleszczą (sheleshch... rustle, go ask google translate to read the word for you). 🧡

Autumn. On my way to the tram stop.

Sidewalk from above and my legs (jeans, teal shoes)

izabelamisiak,

@szczurtorebkowy "Szeleszczą" is truly a perfect word

Oh some humans love me too. I didn’t mean to sound like the only love I have is from the cat 😹 It’s just that a cat’s love is an extra special thing

izabelamisiak,

@purplepadma I think everyone who has ever gained the love of a cat understands!

Do you think wizards and witches in stories are ever overwhelmed? 🤔

izabelamisiak,

@UnconventionalEmma Oh, yeah... With this skill/possibility you should probably avoid overwhelm 😁

izabelamisiak,

@UnconventionalEmma Well, I guess we can assume that Pratchett's Rincewind is overwhelmed most of the time when he's trying not to die - but he can't do any damage, so it's more normal-human level of overwhelm 🤔

izabelamisiak,

@UnconventionalEmma Story idea: a witch with "ordinary" anxiety

[if anyone wants to adopt this idea, go ahead - I think it's looking for a good home and writer]

Jeszcze kilka razy usłyszę słowo "uśmiechnięci" i puszczę uśmiechniętego pawia.

@szczurtorebkowy Tak mi się skojarzyło:

Trzymaj się ciepło, już tylko 2 tygodnie i przestaną.

Also can't wait for the election day, I'm so fed up with the campaign, politics making their theatre, abd being treated like a brainless who won't see the manipulations, half truths and so on.

izabelamisiak,

@szczurtorebkowy I had forgotten how much I hate this time in Poland. This is truly unbearable 🤦‍♀️
