If I distract myself with things, I will not implode. I might not even do the things well but it settles me.

I have AuDHD and spend 80% of my waking moments ruminating, processing, overthinking etc. When it gets especially intense I find myself stuck in Freezes that last hours, days, weeks. I've found that getting out a blank piece of paper (it cant be within a journal/notebook for some reason) and writing down everything on my mind - from to-do lists, things I want to buy, outfits I want to try, routines I'm trying to figure out, and/or interpersonal dilemmas - leaves me feeling so much lighter. I also get clarity around questions I'm mulling over.
I had an especially illuminating Brain Dumping session yesterday and I feel like someone just took a swiffer duster and cleaned every nook and cranny of my brain. Or a system reboot.
Also - I suggest trashing the brain dumps after a certain time and not try to turn it into a rolling to-do list. If you don't act on something within a few weeks, and you're still not thinking about it, it likely wasn't that important, and your brain will thank you for decluttering.

when i start feeling hopeless about my future career prospects and/or my relationships with other people i simply try to push it out of my brain and distract myself (usually with my phone, but i’m trying to use better methods, the best usually involve moving my body some way and/or completing a difficult task) sometimes this works sometimes this doesn’t. be wary of letting yourself go too much in the opposite way and falling into the unrealistic perfect fantasy daydream hole.

Tackle, push, throw away. Process, compartmentalize, recycle. Congrats. I am at the point now where it’s less than a second to destroy the bad thought and process. Brains are cool. No easy task! But you can do it!
P.S. cold water and breathing patterns! Warm showers and comfort things/foods!

I feel like there’s a special connectivity on this app that I haven’t felt in a long time, maybe since early 2010’s tumblr. The fact that you can’t promote yourself like IG is wonderful. The fact that there isn’t mass video content like Tik Tok is great. It’s not this monetized / paid sponsorship app. People are here because they want to be a part of something with nothing to gain besides friendship. Seeing the URL -> IRL meetups warms my heart so much (waiting for an NYC or Brooklyn meetup).
Thanks for your participation on this niche little app. I smile reading all the recs and all the comments and all the asks. Hope we’ll all be here for a long time.

florinegrassenhopper riotgrrrl brendanooooo slowdazzle buck_mcgraw and indianjones — we did it. Not only did we successfully meet for drinks, but we also schemed the hostile takeover of this app from tyler tonight.
In all seriousness — weird that an app I downloaded in April would make genuinely want to drive back into Brooklyn during end of day traffic for a happy hour. Great app filled with great people.

I think a life rule for me is to surround myself with people who know more / are smarter / are cooler than me and just absorb their aura by listening / observing them. It’s made me the incredibly smart / cool person you all know and love.
I just never thought I’d feel the same way about URL friends. I’m constantly listening to the songs I see posted here, reading the articles, subbing to newsletters, and googling topics that get tossed onto the feed.
It’s nice to know you can become a more rounded person by just absorbing what your mutuals post on here. I’m going to sit on my couch, have a cocktail and digest my lovely feed. Happy Sunday!
