  • Now I have a bit more function, I want to address this. Being locked into myself while doom scrolling on the couch is not enjoyable. Itā€™s not something I want to or should enjoy. It is distinctly unpleasant and a reminder of just how much I am a slave to my fucked up brains constant need for stimulation. I have things I will enjoy and WANT to go do and fucking canā€™t because Iā€™m stuck to the couch or stuck in my chair, doing something that provides my brain immediately activity. It fucking sucks. And, when I talk about how ADHD preventing me from doing stuff sucks, thereā€™s always someone who comes along saying something along the lines of ā€œyour productivity doesnā€™t define your worth =D itā€™s ok to not do anything!ā€ And like. I understand what youā€™re saying and that youā€™re trying to help and that thatā€™s probably something thatā€™s positive to a lot of people but you just donā€™t understand that itā€™s not a job or a hobby or chores not getting done that sucks, itā€™s being a nonfunctional human being thatā€™s the problem and that that positive platitude applied to THAT problem is saying ā€œstop trying to be a functional human being =Dā€ and that is so incredibly frustrating.

    Iā€™m sorry, I understand the positive message youā€™re trying to spread but itā€™sā€¦ When someone complains about not being functional, telling them to enjoy their misery is actively unhelpful.
