  • In not actually diagnosed with anything, just identify with a lot of ADHD stuff. I never tried to get a diagnosis because I think others have it way worse than me.

    My life is like a pinball machine that I’ve carefully designed over the years. It lets me be pushed around by processes, reminders, and honestly a great deal of patience from friends and colleagues. It helps that I’m good enough at my job, I guess. But I’m so lucky that a) my studies were paid by the government, b) my main interest growing up was computers, c) found a chill company without terrible management that is very neurodivergent friendly.

    But I’ve been hella depressed since my dishwasher broke down because that threw a wrench in my processes at home. I won’t do the dishes for days, and because of that, somehow I also don’t do the laundry? Or vacuum the floor? I swear I had a system and I was really tidy. And all I have to do is call the dishwasher mechanic 2 months ago.
