I am innately a type A friend, basically meaning if I have an event iām not doing anything all day to make sure I am ready, or before doing something new I overthink quite a lot and make sure I am ready for every single possible situation.
Basically iām just an over thinker, butā¦ iām not mad at it? I like being prepared and sometimes I notice my type B friends slightly judging me and telling me to āchillā, but I actually canātā¦ even if I tried, which I did at one point and it ended up being even more self destructive that the original thinking
In the end of the day if you are an over thinker, or you stress easily I think itās okay as long as you still follow through with your dreams.
Just like a plant you must water it and keep attending to it often as an overactive mind is a symptom of an unchallenged body.

I am a very neurotic person living essentially among a daily mist of anxious intellectualizing... Who is currently mildly concussed... Maybe. Thus my most valued personal system is physically or at least psychically affected which is interesting... I was told to "take it easy" and be watchful of signs i should take a step back and stop doing whatever it is that causes, for example, nausea
Historically i am always doing a "powering through" and "withstanding" action often to get to the most intense version/end of whatever sensation it is i am feeling at the time, i.e. with substances
Hannah from Girls -style, like, putting myself masochistically in the way of things to suffer and then write about it
This is good advice for many situations, to not do that and just stop sometimes

I have to be doing something with my hands or have an activity planned for myself outside of work, I am rarely just chilling by myself with my own thoughts (I call friends and family so much which is a strength but sometimes itās just to talk and exhaust myself)
Trying to be better at savoring moments and not rushing through things but itās physically uncomfortable for me to just do nothing sometimes

I dont know what itās like to not be neuro divergent.It manifests in ways that areā¦inconvenient. Ā Anti social, stand-offish, scattered, frsutrated, over explaining, self doubting, perfection paralysisā¦et al.One of the reasons I love what I do is because I can actually show people what Iām thinkingā¦through images, fabrics, productā¦things that are tangible and tactile and the conversation becomes much easier.Thereās a block in my brain in which the words are in my head, but the ability to communicate them is hard to get out of my mouth.I have to work on this every single day to keep the non ideal aspects of this at bay. Ā Iāve been responsible for large teams and have worked within publicly traded companies for 20 years, so the ability to communicate clearly with concise intentions is vital.These are all things associated with ADD, but the understanding of this by people that donāt experience it first hand is minimal. Ā Itās not about being scattered or flakey. Ā Itās so much more deeply complex.Simple tasks to most people present Ā themselves as heavy left obstacles to me.Every day, it takes monumental effort to pull up and put my game face on. Ā However, the upside to how my brain operates (I canāt speak for others) is that I get incredibly plugged into what Iām passionate about.Iām so fortunate and grateful to have found that outlet in a creative field that brings me joy and a sense of accomplishmentā¦and I get to work with amazing people who are equally passionate.So whoever is out there that experiences thisā¦I see you and I feel you.Get up. Ā Brush your teeth. Ā Get dressed. Ā Regularly push yourself outside your comfort zone and follow your inner compass because it will tell you deep in your guts what youāre capable of doing.Also, a dog is wonderful at soothing this condition.

All of my journeys and people iāve met on the walls with unique furniture iāve collected that has found me throughout my life, warm and mainly reminiscent of my childhood home. No real aesthetic just life, lots of different patterns and plants on every shelf along with books and an abundance of physical media. Basically where I would want to be raised as a child. Keep in mind this is my final home I would take my last steps in not exactly my college apartment or something of my early days.
Similar to Gilmore Girls home, or even the Call Me by Your Name house!

Missing when people would actually post on social media, random silly stupid shit that didnāt matter and not just highly curated and perfected moments of their life. Basically before insta stories existed. Also meeting ppl through myspace and going to concerts and other things together.
