There's a bunch of adhd advice out there that's like "people with adhd tend to work better under deadlines due to the anxiety so here are ways to artificially induce a stress response in order to get you to get work done" and it's like well what if I don't want to be stressed out all the time in order to function

This has so much meme potential

more adhd things

Tumblr: we see you use an adblocker

Me, not using an adblocker: ???

so this European clothing retailer decided to advertise their jean cuts on youtube and it's unintentionally the funniest shit I've seen today. why? well.

now important context here: in German, die (pronounced 'dee') is just a feminine article, it literally means "the".

but if an ad gets placed in the middle of an English video and doesn't use a single explicitly German word for most of the ad, even a native speaker is gonna think "they want me to die how?" it keeps getting funnier.

I mean, holy shit

i will use these as reaction images until i die

this is your gentle reminder to stop fighting against your adhd and instead structure your life around it

buy a pack of chapsticks and put one in the pocket of all of your coats and jackets because you always forget to bring one and chapped lips is sensory hell

leave important things where you can see them. if they go in a box or a drawer you will forget they exist

put any appointments or deadlines in your phone calendar As Soon As you get them. set a reminder for a week before, a day before, an hour before, as many as you need as often as you need them.

when that little voice in your head says "i dont need to write that down, ill remember it" that is the devil talking!!! write it down anyway!!

plan for down time. have a few hours at the end of every day to just do fun stuff like engage in your hyperfixations. even if you didnt get all of your work done that day, have the rest anyway. you probably spent the whole day beating yourself up for not doing what you Should be doing, so you still need the break.

if you never eat vegetables because its too much effort to chop and cook them, get the frozen or canned shit. it doesnt go off for ages and you just have to microwave it. theres no point buying fresh vegetables if they just keep going off and being left to rot in the bottom of your fridge

if you struggle to decide what to have for dinner every day, take the decision out of it. choose a set of meals and eat those on rotation until you get sick of them, then choose some new ones and do it again.

its not stupid if it works! our brains literally have a chemical deficiency. you are allowed to accommodate yourself. go forth and stop making your life more difficult than it has to be because "this shouldn't be this hard". it is hard, so make it easier.

“if you can’t brush your teeth that’s fine uwu one step at a time” posts are supportive and that’s great but I’m about to have a 4.4k$ dental bill because I wasn’t taking care of my teeth when I was super depressed so uhh brush your fuckin teeth

I think if we all had infinite amount of time and resources, theatres would do some sort of "wrong answers only" production challenges, where the director and everybody involved goes out of their way to perform the play in a way where all the dialogue and cues are technically correct, but performed as incorrectly as possible. If the script simply says "they fight" and you know that these characters are supposed to have an epic dramatic battle of some sort - if we're talking Shakespeare, probably originally swordfighting, though modern adaptations have gone with everything from guns to kung fu - but instead you've got them both intensely nipping at each other with these:

The character who's supposed to die in this battle does, naturally, still die. By being somehow nipped to death.

My parents were a clinically depressed old man and an immigrant who just moved to Germany, so my dad was mostly just in contact with relatives, while my mom befriended my friends' parents. We were often visiting people.

Despite that, I also always thought adults don't have friends. I'm not sure where I learned it, my parents sure didn't teach me that.

50/50 Polls are easy, but can the power of tumblr manage to get ALL these percentages correct?

10%

20%

30%

40%

Ooh I love a good challenge poll 😁

About to log off Tumblr for a couple days because of the insane Matpat takes here, just let the man rest

Huge shout to my friend from an undergraduate philosophy program who started working out every single day, not for health benefits or to become conventionally attractive or whatever, but because -- and this is a direct quote -- he was concerned that otherwise he might "become lost in the world of signs and forget the things they signify". I have thought about this every single time that I've worked out since.

I love you so much I hope we get reborn as housecats who sleep together like puzzle pieces

Cant have fucking shit in Detroit

"You can't be a lurker on tumblr." Yes, you absolutely can. I've been quietly reblogging things since 2014 and I haven't interacted with anyone in years.

I'm off to fight God does anyone want anything?
