“Functioning Humans” are a myth. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
People are also spectacularly good at fooling themselves. Every time someone says stuff like “I do sports three times a week” or “I eat fast food about once a month/year”, it’s safe to assume they’re lying to both you and themselves.
When I could exercise a lot, everything else got easier. Regular sleep, good eating habits etc. Now that I can’t it’s pretty much a crapshoot. I didn’t eat fast food for years and I was at the gym 5 times per week at least. Exercise is really important for ADHD.
I exercise or play sports at least 3 times a week (baseball, skating, disc golf, gym) and eat fast food less than once a month ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Plenty of people really do live happy, fulfilling lives. It’s quite possible to achieve. But depression has a way of clouding your judgement, and stops you from seeing things that are right in front of you. It’s extremely challenging to pull yourself out of that, but it’s definitely possible. I wish you the best on your journey.
I realized that I phrased my point very poorly. I didn’t mean that people don’t do sports, eat healthy, and live fulfilling lives. They sure do. What I meant was that people (like when you ask them personally or in a survey) tend to exaggerate their healthy/good habits and downplay the bad ones. So it’s good to take self-reports with a grain of salt. It’s a well known kind of bias (social desirability).
Seems like projection to me.
Functioning people are usually not functioning by themselves alone. Those we look up to as being “healthy” and “adjusted” get quite some help. Be it from their family, friends, partner or maybe even any social security the state offers. It gets overlooked a lot.
The thing I hate the most about Sarah Andersen is how she must actively be watching how I live my life because of how accurate her comics are!
The people on the left do not exist
They do, but solely to make the rest of us feel like we are developmentally stunted.
They have their own issues though, sometimes way scarier ones than the people on the right
Like having to perform public speaking.
I was going to make a joke about that being what the GOP wants.
But then when I reread the joke, it sounded like I was just an idiot who didn’t comprehend what you were saying.
So instead, lets all just assume I made a funny joke, which daisy chained off of your comment, and mocked fascism, and everybody understood that I’m not an idiot, but also I’m the greatest comedian alive, with the biggest penis, and everybody loves me.
We all on the same page?
Ok, cool. Now EVERYBODY thinks I’m an idiot.
Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool.
Lol haha, good joke friendo. slaps knee
Nice cock btw
Well, i was like that 6 months ago.
Impossible, my ability to cope with my current condition relies on believing you don’t exist
Sharkfucker when Whaleromancer walks in
They are a close friend actually
Is this really old? The art looks a lot simpler than usual
It was a two hour kind of day
Oldest results on a reverse-image search are 2014, so it seems like an older one
As someone with kids, they ruined my not sleeping time. I used to stay up because it was the only time to myself and crash around 2am. Now I’m lucky if I can keep my eyes open past midnight… I also can’t sleep in anymore either. My wife leaves around 6am to work and I am basically up. Kids out the door at 7:15 so not much time between anyway. It sucks because i wanna sleep in on Saturday and Sunday still but it’s ingrained into me at this point so I am up at like 7am tops… on the flip side I have learned to just do all the things I wanted to at 11pm at 7am instead!
If i go to sleep early I just lie awake for ages.
Instead I’m just trying to get up early enough, the amount of sleep I get be damned.
As someone who gets just close to 8 hours every day, I do not count as functional. I barely get much else done 'cause of the time I waste sleeping.
Idk forming habits for me just isn’t possible. Even fully medicated for ADHD I can form some small habits but things like regular mealtimes/bedtimes/exercise times are just not possible for me it seems no matter how much I try. People who are able to plan meals and such and say they do regular amounts of something at regular times to me seem like they can’t really be human.
I eat when I’m hungry. I don’t have any issues with weight. I walk when I need to go somewhere, but I walk everywhere, no issues with exercise (yet). I eat what I feel like eating at the time, but I only have a few comfort foods I rotate between but I never get delivery and seldom get takeaway (only when I’m without food on a Sunday evening and all the shops are closed). I sleep well and usually 8 hours total, but at random times in random quantities, work permitting - I sleep when I’m tired.
