Whatchya up to?

[(Anonymous)]

Currently working out how to re-organize my teaching to be digital only since my country went ahead and closed the universities due to COVID19. Hope the rest of you are having more fun :)

Eating cereal and watching the new Gourmet Makes.

drinking Merlot and watching Great British bakeoff and wishing I didn't have to go to class later tonight

I have one more day off after this—I had some leave time I had to use up—and my brain is back on its bullshit so I’m left going “am I autistic? Do I have ADHD? Am I just a lazy bum? When will my executive function return from the war?” It’s not depression, anyway. I know what that feels like, and I’m glad this ain’t it. But just for once I’d like to stay focused long enough to clean my house.

I lugged five loads of laundry to the laundromat and back yesterday, put away my clothes, did my dishes... but it’s raining so I’ve tracked mud absolutely everywhere, and every time I clean something I feel like I make a bigger mess in the process. Sigh.

Re: Whatchya up to?

You got your laundry and your dishes done. That's pretty cool.

Rain makes a lot of people feel screwy and so does mud getting everywhere.

You're doing okay, Nonny. Okay?

Re: Whatchya up to?

AYRT—thanks. I know I’m doing okay. I would just like to be able to focus on the stuff I need to do long enough to actually fucking do it. I start doing dishes and my brain goes “hey it’s raining, put the houseplants outside!”
“Okay brain, just let me finish—“
“Houseplants!”
*puts houseplants outside* “Happy now?”
“Oh look there’s a bag of potting soil and some strawberry starts, you should plant them—“
“I’m not wearing gardening clothes—“
“When has that ever stopped you?”
*plants strawberries, gets soaked and covered in dirt, tracks mud through the house.*
“Hey, look at all these ebooks you checked out!”
*start reading, realize ten chapters in the reason I’m cold is that I’m still wearing wet clothes and also all I’ve eaten today is a tangerine, change clothes, make lunch, eat, put plate in...
“FFS, I never finished the fucking dishes!”

This is pretty much every day of my life. I can’t even focus on my hobbies for long without getting distracted.

Re: Whatchya up to?

That does sound like ADD, yes.

Re: Whatchya up to?

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT—I’m 36 and no one else has even ever hinted that I might have it. Autism, yes, although I’m not diagnosed, several people have said it would explain a lot. And I have anxiety out the wazoo. And I know they’re frequently co-morbid. But caffeine doesn’t put me to sleep or help me focus, and both my parents were addicts who occasionally used meth and it certainly didn’t help them focus. On the other hand, I was born three months premature, and the brain damage that causes increases the chances of having both ADHD and autism, as well as a whole heap of other issues.

*shrug* Now that I have health insurance, one of these days when my phone call phobia and
executive dysfunction and anxiety are all cooperating I’ll check it out.

That's starting to happen in the US too, so I'm sure people will appreciate any good tips from you.

Are you in Italy, OP?

Wherever you are, I hope you're reasonably safe. Missing out on being with your fellow students can be a real bummer.

Re: Whatchya up to?

[(Anonymous)]

This is where I guessed too. Same sentiment OP! Hope you're well!

Re: Whatchya up to?

I'm in Austria, so right next door. So far so good, nobody I know is ill we're just trying to adapt.

Re: Whatchya up to?

<333
Do the best you can with adapting, I'm sure it wont be easy, but I'm sure you'll manage! <3
It'll pass eventually, people have already recovered from the virus, this isn't some sort of plague despite all the panic packaging it up as one.
I'm glad nobody you know is ill, hopefully it stays that way! All of this fear and panic will subside in time, and then we'll finally be allowed to get on with our lives already!

Take care and stay safe. Hope places'll be able to reopen as soon as possible.

Re: Whatchya up to?

[(Anonymous)]

Currently trying to work up the energy to start a major de-cluttering/cleaning up of my desk. Its been in a beyond terrible state for the past 4 years and I nearly caused it all to fall off every time I have rushed out the room. I was thinking of either playing Wolfsheim's entire discography or make a playlist of different songs/lofi's to keep me going while it plays in the background.

Re: Whatchya up to?

Well, yesterday I bit the bullet and asked my GP for a referral to a psychiatrist... and now I'm thinking I also need to find a therapist or counselor or something because I need to stop telling my parents how very depressed I am. They already know I'm depressed, they don't need me to keep letting the inside voice become the outside voice.

Also I'm upset because a local food festival is almost certainly going to be cancelled because of the coronavirus, and I love that food festival, it's my only reason to leave the house in June :c

Re: Whatchya up to?

SA - Oh, forgot to clarify: I'm going to see the psychiatrist because I may well have ADD or ADHD, not because of the crushing suicidal depression.

Re: Whatchya up to?

[(Anonymous)]

Hope you stay healthy, OP!

I'm debating on whether or not I should take a nap or just do my homework. It always takes me at least a week to get used to the time change and I hate it.

Re: Whatchya up to?

Been a busy day. 3 hearings, 2 briefs, picked up new glasses, and my Toastmasters meeting. All while having a migraine. I'm finally home and sitting in my bed. I'm just about to shove a bit of food into me so I can take a painkiller (doc ended up giving me the refill of that one and not the preventative, don't know what that's about).

Re: Whatchya up to?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm glad you got your refill! Maybe since you're seeing more than one type of doctor they're holding back with the meds just in case they conflict or are possible causes for some of the issues that have cropped up or something? Here's hoping you get better soon!
