      Let me just play my counter: having such a poor memory that I forget most of the things I should be anxious about.

      I wonder if adhd with a perfect balenced bit of anxiety makes a normal human being.
      Like i remember a time where i couldn’t sleep because of all the shit i didn’t do. If i had enough anxiety do do it…

        I guess it just makes a very stressed human being, which is not healthy at all in the long run, neither psychically nor physically.

            I didn’t say I don’t have any anxiety. I just mean it’s probably better to keep it low instead of riding the anxiety wave all day, every day.
            But yes, sometimes anxiety is what it takes to really get going.

              Ah, I’m on some hellhole planet where I AM anxiety and it stops me from doing things, instead of helping me start them…

      I once wrote a strongly worded letter to my morning self, telling him to skip breakfast and go run at least a kilometre first. Didn’t have a lot of leverage, but it worked to the surprise of both of us.

    Haha, wrong! I won’t do it, but I will let worrying about it ruin today, and doing it ruin tomorrow!

    I’ve been trying to do a version of this. Sometimes I just need a day off. Driving myself into the ground won’t help anything. It helps to take a day here and there, even if it means more work tomorrow.

    Nah, can’t do shit now. I have anxiety and panic attack booked for the entire day. I’ll be extremely motivated while I’m in bed at 3AM tho, so don’t worry.

    Interesting proposal Frog. Let’s see if our current plan of action of not doing it today works out for all of us.

    Narrator: And it didn’t work out for all of them
