Mentally taxing week to the point that right now staring at the wall seems to be a lot right now.
#mentalheaIth #adhd #anxiety

I would like to thank my brain medicine for making it possible for me to even tackle the refilling of the weekly supply of said brain medicine (among other things it makes possible)

Thank you science

The sane way to get a PhD is to not need a PhD. You can want one, but you should be mentally fine with not making it. Then you will be able to push back on your advisor. #Science #PhD #phdlife #mentalheaIth

@husjon I’ve started doing a “What have I gotten done today” mental checklist when I get into bed each night.

Some days it’s a lot.
Some days it’s only one thing.
Some days it’s only one part of one thing.
Some days it’s nothing at all.

And ALL of that is OKAY. Being upset with yourself because you didn’t finish a task doesn’t fix anything.

Modify the task.
Break it into steps.
One step at a time.

Progress is progress. Reward yourself for it.

I would just like to say that Mastodon and Toot.Community are great and I've not been this happy with social media in a long time. #tootcommunity #mastodon #mentalheaIth #positivechange

Recovering from #burnout is not just a matter of taking a break. Get to the root cause! #selfcare #mentalheaIth

You know how sometimes everything just comes together to be terrible?
Been feeling a bit sick today, so I didn’t dare eat anything for fear of making it worse. Now in the evening I *think* I’m feeling hungry.
So either eat something and risk making the feeling sick worse, or I don’t eat anything and feel hungry - which I honestly cannot differentiate between anymore.
Of course all this stresses me out even more, feels like all day I’m close to an anxiety attack…

Ich kann (momentan?) nicht mehr weinen und weiß nicht, ob das gut oder schlecht ist.
(At the moment?) I'm no longer able to cry and I don't know if that's good or bad.

Trying to get back into story writing after a poetry-infused-mental-hiatus.
What do you think of this stand alone piece?

Awakened by the soft hue of light on the snow she stretched out of her sleeping bag. Unzipping the icy door she braced for the cold air to enter her throat as she breathed. Nothing came, she poked her head out of the tent, which was now flapping in a light breeze. Before her was an astounding sight. Gone were the ice laden tufts of grass, the once frozen lake glittered bright blue awash with ripples from creatures below. Bright green, strong leaves danced in the trees. The sun, hot on the horizon, was glowing and burning as bright as ever. What was once so cold, had needed just one night to thaw. She smiled and launched herself into the warm, dry grass before her, feeling it tickle her arms.
‘’Finally’’ she said aloud.

Der Erfinder des Wortes "Toilettenpause" gehört zu lebenslanger Haft verurteilt.
Auf der Toilette sitzen hat nichts mit Pause zu tun, lasst euch das nicht einreden.
Und redet es euch auch bitte nicht selber ein!

This the raw-est account you'll find on #mentalheaIth in #india. #psychiatricdiseases especially, that too in a #middleclass family in #mumbai .But this is also #witty and there's occasional #warmth as well. For such a small book, there's so much said without saying.

do you down all of your pills as soon as you wake up so you don't forget to take them, or wait until you eat or drink to avoid the side effects? #mentalheaIth #cptsd

One thing that really helps me focus and be productive while having #ADHD is body doubling which is essentially working along side someone else at the same time. You don’t even have to be doing the same thing or even in the same room or even speaking to one another. You can Zoom with a friend for a period of time or use Flow Club which I use myself and highly recommend.

Oh! And be kind to yourself!

Something that has been important to my healing is knowing that when my sad days come they won’t last. Don’t force myself out of it, but also don’t cave into despair. Learning how to adapt to how life is is really hard. #mentalheaIth #traumahealing #wecandohardthings #icandoeasythingstoo

Ok #introduction time! Hi I’m Farah, mama to an energetic toddler. I’m originally from a small South Asian country; now live in Iowa, USA. I talk about my hobbies, #books, #gaming, #sciencefiction and #StarTrek and other isssues like #mentalheaIth #tech #psychology. I complain about the world a lot, (you’ve been warned). I am pathologically anxious and make jokes to compensate, they aren’t always funny. Trying to connect with people because it’s hard to make friends in real life. Peace! 🖖🏼
