Not that we need another reason to hate TikTok diagnosis but I've never encountered a group of people with a worse case of learned helplessness and whatabout-ism than the "tiktok neurospicy (they exclusively mean audhd) uwu" crowd.

Like, yes, it's harder to be disabled and keeping a routine is practically impossible and you're gonna be more tired, stressed, and in pain than the general public because you are disabled and that sucks and it's unfair. But there's a massive difference between "I couldn't do this even if I tried, I'm sorry" and "I don't want to be uncomfortable even if it's at the expense of my health and other people's feelings". Like I hate to break it to you but humans are like neurologically programmed to not want to do the things that are good for us and nobody's exempt from learning and growing regardless of neurotype, even you.

Hello fellow burnouts I'm just coming on here to remind everyone that unless you have an active deadline or time you must be somewhere, there's literally no need to hurry! Your body cannot tell the difference between real and arbitrary urgency, so stop walking so fast, stop brushing your teeth so aggressively, and stop doing the dishes like they're gonna despawn if you leave them too long. Reminder; you do not get a medal for doing things fast when they don't need to be done fast! It will, in fact, only stress you out.

Pause, check in, breathe, start again but slower. Gold star! ⭐
