  • I don’t have any advice or help for you because I’m in a somewhat similar situation as you. I was also a good student (not quite straight A, but close enough) and thought my education would also give me some form of agency over my life. That, of course, turned out to be completely untrue due to various factors outside my control. I also thought moving out of my small town would give me a fresh start and allow me to finally live a normal life… which never really happened either.

    All I can say is I’m sorry this is happening to you, comrade. If you need to talk or vent, my DMs are open meow-hug



  • If you decide to look into it, just be aware that it may take a while to find the right meds and dosage that works for you. I was so excited to finally have an end to this problem after hearing so many people talk about how miraculous meds were for them, but it took me a few months of trial and error to find the right dosage (something that I think I’m getting closer to but we’re still figuring it out). They do help but don’t get your hopes up expecting miracles (like me, stupidly).


  • Are you me? I can sit in front of a computer for hours looking at the most braindead/useless slop, yet I can’t drag my ass to do things I actually WANT to do (like write a novel), or sometimes, even the things I NEED to do (like brush my teeth). ADHD meds work to a certain degree, but even then there’s still a bit of a block between wanting to do something and then following through with it. It sucks. I wish I didn’t struggle with it so much but that’s the brain I’m stuck with.


  • I find it deeply uncomfortable that even when people here are making fun of chuds, like saying something a chud would say but ironically, they’ll still use language that is racist towards Asians. Like using “Oriental” instead of Asian, using terms like “Asiatic and Mongol (horde)” calling Chinese people dogs, making it seem like all the dudes in Japan are hentai-loving creeps who are barely even socialised (sometimes I get an “oh, Japan…” vibe when people are talking about really gross anime like it’s just part of the Japanese brainpan to be so disgusting), and all the men in Occupied Korea are misogynists. Like yeah, Japan and Korea have a misogyny problem, they produce gross anime and games… but so do westerners. I’m not even sticking up for Japan and SK - but in my opinion, some criticism almost borders on orientalism. Ironic racism is still racism, even if we’re making fun of white (or possibly even POC) chuds saying/thinking it. I dunno, it just rubs me the wrong way.
