  • I was being sincere. Thank you.

    As someone in their late 30s with a recent diagnosis, I’m beginning to learn just how stigmatized my condition is. It’s beyond frustrating when I get dismissed as just being lazy by even my own friends and family.

    [Incoming Rant]

    Nobody understands the struggle unless they have it. They don’t seem to understand that it’s a lot more than just forgetfulness and an inability to process long blocks of text. It is a full-blown disability that has been holding me back from reaching my full potential. Hell, I didn’t even move out of my parents’ house until my 30s due to my condition. Even other people with ADHD don’t seem to understand that there’s different levels of severity, and I’m on the more extreme end of the spectrum.

    So again, thank you for being kind.








  • Far Side comics* aren’t very deep. They make the most sense when you don’t think about them too much. Think of the dumbest, most surface-level punchline you can think of when you read one: that’s usually the joke.

    (But yeah I never found them all that funny myself, either, and I grew up with them. They’re Boomer humor for sure.)
