My Attempt To Draw A Mini Comic…or Something Like That, Heh (I'm Sorry)

ADHD tips from a girlie who was diagnosed in her late twenties and has had little to no support since and is being so brave about it:

1) Make it easy, make it accessible, and make it appealing. If anything this is the most important thing, all tips going forward are based around this concept.

2) That thing you think would help you but you haven’t bought/done it yet because you’re technically surviving without it? Buy it, you need it. It doesn’t matter if people around you might think it’s wasteful or that you’re lazy, you’re not, just do it, trust me.

3) Expanding on tip #2, if you’re like me and eggs are your main source of protein because they’re quick and easy and feeding yourself is a near insurmountable task- buy yourself an electric egg cooker, make a bunch of hard boiled eggs and keep them in your fridge for quick and easy protein to add to any meal (handful of crackers, a hard boiled egg and a banana? 5 star meal right there. Or mash them up with some mayo for egg salad sandwiches). Other easy proteins include: potstickers (put them in instant ramen), edamame (they have microwaveable snack packs), chickpeas (put in salads!), beans (can of beans microwaved with shredded cheese and some tortilla chips), peanut butter (with crackers, apple and cheese, adult lunchable style), and tofu (cut into cubes, throw them into a ziplock with some seasoning and potato starch, shake that shit up and bake it until crispy).

4) Spend a little extra (if you are able) on daily use items that excite you, it will make you more likely to remember/want to do said daily task. For example: the only reason I remember to use sunscreen is because I bought some fancy japanese sunscreen that smells like roses so I get excited to use it, same for laundry detergent and body wash! there’s a gajillion different body wash scents out there, switch it up!

5) If there’s a task you continuously struggle with take a moment to think about which part of the task is making it difficult, it could be something even as small as “I don’t put my dirty clothes in the hamper because my hamper has a lid on it and lifting the lid is one step too many-”, sounds a little stupid huh? But trust your gut, it’s not stupid if it works. See tip #2 and BUY A HAMPER WITHOUT A LID.

6) If you are having trouble starting a task, break the task down further, sometimes the way I start a task is just by going “Ok step 1) stand up-“ and so forth. Don’t worry about the task as a whole just take it one step at a time.

7) If you’re halfway through a task and have to stop, leave it out. All this, “Put things away when you’re done with them.” is bullshit. you will be much more likely to finish the task if restarting it is easier because you left it out plus it’s a visual reminder. You can also create faux deadlines like “I gotta finish this project before my friend comes over on tuesday because after I finish it I can clean off the dinner table.” etc.

8) It’s okay to outsource tasks and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, humans are designed to ask for, and to require help (what do babies do when they’re first born?? cry for help!!) ask for help and receive help without shame, if it makes your life better, you are WINNING.

9) If you have one big overwhelming task that you think you need to get done before anything else, but you feel motivated to do other tasks, do those other tasks first, it’s okay. Otherwise in all likelihood (at least in my case) you’ll put everything off until the last minute and then have to do said overwhelming task and those other tasks won’t get done at all. Doing those smaller tasks also lowers the mental load and you can use them as a motivation launch pad to tackle bigger things.

10) If you notice you tend to not put something away/forget to do something, perhaps consider moving and storing the item closer to where it ultimately ends up or where you are more likely to see it. For example, my makeup, pills, and mail are all stored on my desk because that’s where I tend to do my makeup, take my pills and deal with my mail. I used to store my pills in my bathroom medicine cabinet but all too often I would forget because they weren’t in my line of sight. Now that they’re on my desk, I have multiple chances per day to pass by them, go “oh I gotta take those.” and take them.

11) Open storage, open storage, OPEN STORAGE.

12) Motivation can look like all kinds of things. sometimes the only reason I get out of bed is because I remember I have a fun snack and I get to go eat it if I get up. It’s okay to lean into those simple “animal-brain” type motivators, you’ll eat because then you can use that fun new kitchen gadget you got a daiso? Neat. you’ll shower because then you can paint your nails that fun new color you got? Fantastic. You’ll go to the dmv and do that annoying thing because you’ll take yourself out for boba after? Superb. Lean-IN to those small motivators, they aren’t stupid or childish, they are VITAL.

13) Don’t buy into the cult of “if it’s worth doing, do it properly” it’s guaranteed to set you up for failure. If it’s worth doing, do it in whatever capacity you are able to. I put sunscreen on once a day because that’s fucking better than not doing it at all and I sure as all hell will fail at reapplying it multiple times a day. If it’s worth doing, do it half-assed babieeee.

Go forth and prosper!!! xoxo ✌️🩵

I couldn't help but draw it (or try it lol) as soon as I saw it ( ´ ▽ ` )

The prince of my heart belongs @fantasia-kitt

(Translation) If we had a dorama on 14DWY

Angel: Ren, this is the ring that was left by you, right? Ren: Yes, I decided to give it to you as my new friend. Angel: Strange…it looks like an engagement ring. Ren: really? Ren: and when I made it, I didn't even notice

I continue to rework old works

Just a silly quick night drawing based on the new hyperfixation LOL (Vic belongs to @starsetven)

the worst is wanting to create and create and create but being trapped in a body that is so so so so tired

If you hear a screech of admiration somewhere in the distance, then know that it is I who am now trying not to faint and keep my mind after I saw the face [REDACTED] GOD, OF COURSE, AFTER EVERY POST ABOUT HIM, I WAS CONVINCED THAT HE WAS FUCKING AWESOME, BUT NOW I'M JUST READY TO LECTURE EVERY PERSON NEARBY ABOUT HOW GORGEOUS HE IS!!!

ABOUT HIS SUCH A COLD, BUT SUCH A HOT CHARACTER FROM WHICH I TURN INTO A PUDDLE OF EMBARRASSMENT JOY AND ADMIRATION !!! OF COURSE, THIS TEXT CANNOT BE COMPARED WITH THOSE SCREAMS, SCREAMS AND WORDS OF DELIGHT THAT I EXCHANGED WITH A FRIEND AFTER I SHOWED IT TO HER AND AFTER WHICH I TORE OFF MY VOICE, BUT IN WORDS I AM READY TALKING ABOUT HIM FOR HOURS AT SUCH A SPEED THAT ANY RAPPER WILL ENVY ME!!! (⁄ ⁄>⁄ ▽ ⁄<⁄ ⁄)

Angel: Remember Ren, you can be anything you want! Ren/[REDACTED]: Can I be your man? Angel: I don't think- Ren/[REDACTED]: YOU SAID ANYTHING!

When listening to the song World.execute(me) I VERY often found myself in it with Kei and I couldn't resist depicting him in the "image" of a frame from my favorite cover lolol

Original image and cover(*ﾉωﾉ)

Kei belong to @minevn

A little bonus lol (Translation: My mom told me not to download unfamiliar programs from strange strange sites…)

There's no escape

This fanfic is based on some of the creator's answers! I do not speak English, the text was translated using a translator, so errors are possible (although I will try to minimize them) (Kei belongs to @minevn)

_(:3 」∠)_

… I don't remember how long I've been here. Since I escaped, all I've been surrounded by is the bare walls of the hospital, not the friendliest nurses, patients, and not a single hint of… him.

Akiko didn't know what she wanted more: to see Kei in a mental hospital or to see him in prison, every day followed the same scenario: morning, breakfast, check-up, afternoon, lunch, nap time, dinner, night. The only thing that distinguished her day from the days of the other patients was happiness. The happiness of being here, in a mental hospital, away from Kei and his all-seeing gaze. The joy of understanding that Akiko could now communicate with people and not see the one who made a chaotic tangle out of the girl's feelings was so overwhelming that the picture of her dancing and singing in fits of joy was not uncommon.

-Miss Engel, follow me.

"Oh, it seems the time has come for medical checks, one of the forms of entertainment within the confines of a place where you can't draw, sing, read, or sit on your phone. With a light, quick gait, I followed the nurse. To my question "Where are we going?" not receiving an answer, a slight anxiety settled in my heart, which I quickly dismissed. Walking along the same, unrenovated corridors that were filled with crying, the voices of doctors and other patients, who, apparently, also saw joy in the procedures, I was taken to the hall on the first floor while I was immersed in memories of my arrival here…."

….A week ago…

-I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE -Miss, please breathe, no one is going to hurt you. Please explain what's going on. -H-HE'S DANGEROUS, HE'S NOT A HUMAN, A MONSTER, A KILLER! HE'S TRYING TO KEEP ME IN THE HOUSE…! -…call the doctors. Miss, calm down, no one is threatening you, who are you talking about? "…..I tried. I really tried to explain what's going on, but will they believe me? I'm…hysterical…talking about how the guy from the game came out of the laptop and is trying to keep me in the house…what kind of nonsense is this, right?

I hardly knew the city where Kei brought me, the fact that I ended up at the doctor's WITHOUT him was already a miracle. How smoothly he managed everything. He took advantage of my state of shock and introduced himself to my parents as my fiancé whom I met in college, and they believed him. Of course, how could you not believe him? Perfect knowledge of Russian, a brilliant mind, beautiful appearance and the unconditional love that he showed can fool anyone. Kei, as if controlling puppets, deprived my parents of all doubts, took the most necessary things, and moved me to another city (to which she wanted to move, judging by the browser history). In just a few days, he managed to turn my life upside down: make me a wife (of a HIGH-RANKING CIVIL OFFICIAL, DAMN IT), get a comfortable home, deprive me of my acquaintances, my job, my confidence in my sanity (AND A PHONE WITH THE INTERNET!!!), he even dared to deprive me of Jun, Kage… Haruto with Yani. Yes, they were part of the game created by Kei, but I already loved them as if they were alive and real. He deprived me of life….."

So Akiko managed to escape to the doctor with great difficulty, for some reason the idea of ​​visiting a psychiatrist seemed good to her. Needless to say, it wasn't quite so? She was taken to a psychiatric clinic. At first, she took it as a sign that she would never see a happy and peaceful life, but now everything has changed. Akiko finally calmed down, didn't see Kei, made new friends…

….Our days…

Continuing to follow the nurse, being immersed in her thoughts, the girl suddenly woke up hearing a soft, calculating voice… HIS VOICE.

"…no"

-…when she arrived here she didn't have any things with her, so you don't need to pack anything "..no"

-Okay, in that case Akiko will change and we'll go home, I've already received the head doctor's orders. I apologize for my wife.

".no"

-She didn't cause any problems, but you need to make sure that she takes her medication.

"NO NO NO!!!"

-Sure. I'll take care of her

-WHY IS HE HERE?!

At Akiko's sharp cry, all the nurses who were nearby immediately looked at her, not noticing the man's slight smile.

-My love, everything is fine. I was really worried about you, I'm sorry I couldn't come earlier -

-STAY AWAY FROM ME

-Are you sure you can take care of her? I think she needs a little more…

-I'm sure we're leaving.

-O-okay

"I tried to move and run, but my legs felt like cotton wool. Why are they letting me go with him? Why are they even letting me go?!"

-Let's go home, dear.

Kei said, gently but firmly grabbing Akiko's hand, leading her to the locker room to change and take her… home. She couldn't resist, she couldn't run, she had no choice.
