@hexbear.netI have untreated ADHD and OCD and it’s going alright. My ADHD presents me with a shit load of executive dysfunction when trying to begin tasks and find myself relying on my wife to body double. This isn’t always great tho because we are both ND and it definitely adds stress to us both. So, I tend to cope by remembering the bigger picture and acknowledging how I may be inadvertently affecting people around me by letting my ND run rampant. It helps a lot knowing that she understands, and it also pushes me to be better about it.
My OCD is a lot harder for me to deal with. There are times a can’t leave the house until I’ve done 3 laps around the first floor to check each door, or checked that the stove I didn’t use this week is off. This behavior makes me late for things constantly and eventually also affects the people around me. So again I try to keep that perspective in mind because I don’t want to fall into bad habits where people need to adjust their expectations to cow-tow to my disorder.
It may not be the healthiest way to cope, but after being on Ritalin for most of my childhood I have an aversion to using those medication personally. I totally support people taking them and see their benefits, I just haven’t come around to giving them another shot myself. Instead I seek therapy and practice mindfulness.
Also depends on the affiliation of the parents. A democrat baby might as well be an aborted fetus.
They only care about the would be children. Once they are actual children they should be pulling their bootstraps or whatever.
The school shootings are perpetrated by whites. Meanwhile the immigrants being targeted by this rhetoric are not white.
It’s that simple.
Especially small niche authors, I always try to buy a physical copy directly from them or from a non corporate bookstore.
If it’s like Asimov or Tolkien, I’m stealing that shit because their estates and shitty kids don’t need the couple cents the sale would yield them.
