My therapist, who specializes in adults with ADHD, recently told me that all of her clients need a three day crashout period after a big life change. Finish the semester? Crashout. Change jobs? Crashout. Go on a really cool, really relaxing vacation? Crashout the moment you get home.
It's true of literally all of her clients. She works with a lot of them to put systems in place so that their crashouts are only three days. This includes the high-powered execs who travel regularly for work. It does not matter how successful or high functioning they are - they have ADHD, and a crashout is just part of the process of living with it.
I'm sharing this with all you ADHD friends out there, just in case you (like me) start shaming yourself if your crashout lasts more than one day. It turns out three days is kind of the best case scenario. Be kind to yourselves!

Thereupon many statesmen and philosophers came to Alexander with their congratulations, and he expected that Diogenes of Sinope also, who was tarrying in Corinth, would do likewise. But since that philosopher took not the slightest notice of Alexander, and continued to enjoy his leisure in the suburb Craneion, Alexander went in person to see him, and he found him lying in the sun. Diogenes raised himself up a little when he saw so many people coming towards him, and fixed his eyes upon Alexander. And when that monarch addressed him with greetings, and asked if he wanted anything, "Yes," said Diogenes, "stand out of my sun." It is said that Alexander was so struck by this, and admired so much the haughtiness and grandeur of the man who had nothing but scorn for him, that he said to his followers, who were laughing and jesting about the philosopher, "But truly, if I were not Alexander, I wish I were Diogenes." To this, the Philosopher's reply was "If I were not Diogenes, I too would wish to be Diogenes."

Recognizing that the "Unnecessary feelings" comment isn't about gay thoughts makes wrightworth better in my honest opinion.
"Seeing you gives me an extreme carnal reaction and I want to kiss you stupid"? WRONG. "Your being here makes me remember a time when I was truly happy. Your presence forces me to acknowledge the icy waters I am submerged in. Your fires make me realize how cold I am, and I'm too scared of reaching out. I'm scared that the moment I reach out, I will douse your flames because I am colder than the darkest parts of this trench I find myself in and I don't think your fire can handle it.
Your warm smile makes me realize how sad I truly am. I look into your bright eyes and feel the dark bags under mine sag. I am tired and I so badly want to rest my head, if only for a moment, on your shoulder, my oldest friend. My dearest friend. My only friend. I want nothing more than to cry in your arms, but my tears are so cold that I may snuff your embers when I wet your sleeves. You open your hands to me to take my burdens, but you don't understand how hefty it is. I will crush anyone under the weight of it, including you.
It would've been better had we not met, you are too earnest, too persistent, too kind for me. You will break yourself for anyone. I don't want to be the one you break yourself on. Because you are the only one who understood me.
Don't ever show your face in front of me again."

5 Tiny Writing Tips That Aren’t Talked About Enough (but work for me)
These are some lowkey underrated tips I’ve seen floating around writing communities — the kind that don’t get flashy attention but seriously changed how I write.
1. Put “he/she/they” at the start of the sentence less often.
Try switching up your sentence rhythm. Instead of
“She walked to the window,”
try
“The window creaked open under her touch.”
Keeps it fresh and stops the paragraph from sounding like a checklist.
2. Don’t describe everything — describe what matters.
Instead of listing every detail in a room, pick 2–3 objects that say something.
“A half-drunk mug of tea and a knife on the table”
sets a way stronger tone than
“There was a wooden table, two chairs, and a shelf.”
3. Use beats instead of dialogue tags sometimes.
Instead of:
"I'm fine," she said.
Try:
"I'm fine." She wiped her hands on her skirt.
It helps shows emotion, and movement.
4. Write your first draft like no one will ever read it.
No pressure. No perfection. Just vibes. The point of draft one is to exist. Let it be messy and weird — future you will thank you for at least something to edit.
5. When stuck, ask: “What’s the most fun thing that could happen next?”
Not logical. Not realistic. FUN. It doesn’t have to stay — but chasing excitement can blast through writer’s block and give you ideas you actually want to write.
What’s a tip that unexpectedly helped with your writing? Let me know!! 🍒

How does someone with adhd + executive dysfunction practice their worship?
I've been unable to light Their candles nor properly talk or offer things to Them (other than the stray "hello my Lord/Lady [Name]" and lighting Their incenses) and I walk past Their altar every day and I feel so weak and I don't want to feel like They are just a stray thought or a passing hyperfixation.
I know I can't control my mental obstacles, but it's hard to overcome them or get around them. I'm trying so hard to live, let alone breathe. I keep Them in my mind and my heart every day, but is it enough? Am I okay?
I love you, Lord Apollo ☀️
I love you, Lord Ares ⚔️
I love you, Lady Artemis 🏹
I love you, Lady Aphrodite and Lovely Eros 💕 💘
I've not abandoned You. I can only hope You've not abandoned me.
Apologies if this question was rhetorical, but I’d like to try to help if it was not
The gods will not abandon you, they are very forgiving. I am sure that your love and intentions are felt. I can not begin to communicate how not-alone you are, how common this fear is, how many practitioners before you have had the same struggles. Caring for yourself is an act of worship. Knowing yourself, your wants, your needs, is living with the gods in mind. They don’t expect you to push yourself to the point of breaking, they’d want you to take care of yourself and do as you must. They want your betterment, and that starts with understanding and kindness to oneself.
A lot of people have this idealized version of devotion in their minds. This ritualized worship, that has to be done by routine—but it doesn’t have to be that way. Chaotic, sporadic worship is just as legitimate, if that’s what you can give/is what’s best for you. And a relationship isn’t only about giving; don’t define it based off of what you can give, because you will (unfairly and cruelly to yourself) find yourself lacking. If you define yourself by what you can and cannot offer, it can damage your self-image and feelings about self worth. Think about how many people come to objectify themselves and only find their worth in service by thinking of themselves in this way. You don’t have to be able to give to be worthy. You just have to be. To exist. That’s what makes you worthy. I know it’s hard to keep this mindset, but self-love and self-appreciation is an ongoing journey for everyone, and it meets you where you’re at. Keep trying, and you’ll get farther and better than you ever imagined.
Take smaller steps. Do what you can. The fastest route to burnout is giving what you cannot give, what you do not have the energy to give.
Something small that I do is that I have certain clothes colors dedicated to specific deities I worship. Whether or not I have the energy to set an intention on a specific day, or the ability to hold them in my mind, those clothes are Their clothes, for lack of better phrasing. Wearing it is an act of offering, one I don’t have to consciously choose each time I put it on.
I have other aspects of my routine, of things I have to do, dedicated to the gods. I don’t think of Lady Aphrodite every time I wash my face, but it is an act I’ve dedicated to her. It’s an act I do in honor of her, and because I need to. I keep small items, in her image, near the stuff I use to get ready every day. In that way, I’ve incorporated her into my routine. I may not remember to do specific things every day, such as wear a cologne dedicated to her— truth is, my brain is scrambled enough that I rarely am able to remember. But that doesn’t make my worship, my practice, my devotion, or my love less legitimate.
Per research, it may be helpful to look into “low spoon” devotional activities. People make lists regarding that, usually centered around their specific disabilities.
Another thing I do is seek out and interact with content about the gods, because it brings me joy and keeps them in my mind. I enjoy seeing other’s acts of worship. This, to me, is also an act of devotion, because I am expressing my love for them, my willingness and desire to learn about them.
Living in their image is also worship. Being kind, being loving, being bold— whatever their image means to you.
And remember, the gods are gods— they have many disabled devotees. You’re not the first or the last person they’ve adored that has been like you. They understand, they are forgiving— even though there is nothing to forgive. This isn’t something you’d need to ask for forgiveness over— the challenge can be forgiving yourself even when you’ve done nothing wrong, but your guilt infests you anyways.
They love, they understand— and they are willing to help. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, for guidance, for suggestions, directly from them. It’s not always easy to “hear” and understand what they’re saying, but they may help in loud or subtle ways. Sometimes it just takes a while to hear or understand their voice. I’ve received signs before where I didn’t understand what it meant until years down the line— there’s no pressure to understand things, to see things, right away. Even if you can’t feel them, they are there. Even if they are quiet, they are there. Even when you’re busy, they are there. In your corner, supporting you, loving you, understanding you. They are there for you.
