Oh but just you wait when you around to it the second or third time in life… all the experience you’ve gained, and hatred towards wasted time. You’ll devour planets!
For a while…
Not because the excitement is gone, but really because your brain has spicy connectors that misbehave and misfire all the time…
Makes it even worse.
your brain has spicy connectors that misbehave
you know what i’ve been thinking? your brain doesn’t actually misbehave, it does exactly what it’s meant to do. just that society is talking bullshit expectations about your behavior. and your brain doesn’t follow the bullshit.
I think there’s some that go through that dwindling urge to keep going. But there are also the ones that you describe, the “oh, new shiny thing”.
Do elaborate
Abandoning
At some random moment completely and utterly purge it from thought for a random amount of time (and then several months later going ‘oh yeah, shit’).
Yup! It’s not “abandoning” per se, it’s more like “totally forgetting that I was trying a new life routine, so stopped doing it”
That’s why it’s so hard to take medication every day.
I’ve been vegan for a year now, with 100% consistency and not really any struggle. And still, I know that on any given day there might just be a moment where I could find myself with a half-eaten ham sandwich in my hand because I forgot. It’s so fucked up, how is anyone supposed to build any form of identity when significant parts of it are always at risk of dropping off and being forgotten for no good reason 😮💨
Joke’s on you, I don’t even make it to step two!
No kidding. Making the schedule is like 99% of the dopamine. Why actually do it for like 1%?
“My life is gonna be so great ‘when’ I do this”
is this a persistent-storage thing that i’m too ram-focused to understand?
Accidentally fall back into your system because you don’t actually have another, or really any backup plan whatsoever. Play it off like it was discipline. Share system with other NDs as if you have answers.
Is this adhd or just everyone?
Plot twist, everyone has a teeny tiny little bit of adhd.
Just not the blinking in and out if existence- kind of crippling bullshit version of adhd.
I’m like this with RPG’s too.
If I had the ability to restart my life over, I would probably never get past 5.
That’s why i only make routines that are easy to follow because they cost almost no energy.

Very little is unique to neurodivergent people. Everybody pees but if you have to run to the loo every 5 minutes, you should see a doctor.
You know I remember this contest for a toilet that was a recliner and had an Xbox, laptop and tv attached. I lost that contest.
Heart-wrenching 😢
Bowel shaking as well
What is this behaviour “unique to neurodivergent people” that everyone seems to think these communities should be about exclusively?
