The outside observer probably thinks I am mentally ill (I evidently am). What do I do??
Edit: Post yours guys
This is the ebike I started like 3 years ago and am anxious about even thinking about because it reminds me of the weight of all the fun plans I had, surrounded by half emptied moving boxes from more than a year ago, and draped in christmas lights from when I was in a mental health episode doing the bare minimum to decorate last year 😅
At least I don’t have to do the bare minimum to decorate in a mental health episode this year, the decorating is already done!
You can’t make me!
Wish i had done this for my past monster messes before i cleaned them the shit up :(
Lol that’s a rookie mess. You need to start way more projects that you’re “going to finish any day now” and let them all sit for about 5 years.
The endless amount of hobbies that never seem to stick…
Nah they all stick, but priorities are priorities.
New shiny is much higher on the to-do than the stack of #TODO in my git or the half finished stack of 3d printed parts, or that access point that is begging to be put back together.
It’s good having variety, I’m able to bounce between things while never really getting bored of one thing.
But you can’t entirely quit because of the sunken cost.
I cleaned up while I was in my last meeting
Is that G20 Semiotics I see on the right? Noice.
Right
This mess actually feels quite cozy. I like it :D Also your setup is super cool!
Wow, thank you so much! It took me forever to figure out (and motivate to make happen)! I get so little encouragement in life, this is wonderful!
Nw :-) Did it use to be far more chaotic before the meeting where you tidied it up?
I admit to nothing
I wisch I had a workplace/laboratory like yours.
If it makes you feel better, it’s in my parents’ house. But in 6 months I should be ready to purchase my own.
Dope setup
Pff amateur
That’s not bad at all. 🤷🏻♂️
If potentially having mental illness is bothering you, see a doctor about it.
I got diagnosed in my 30s and holy damn meds changed everything. I took adhd meds for first time and 45 mins later remember thinking ‘is this how normies are all the time? You can think something and just do it?? No prep, no build up?!’
My wife has been trying different meds for months with her doctor and so far nothing has helped. I really hope she finds the right one that can make her feel like you describe. :-/
This is true. I have actually been to the doctor and he gave me stims, but that’s where it ended at. The stims definitely help me focus and give me the patience to do stuff like reading, showering, and homework, but they don’t affect the underlying neurodivergence in any way (ie. I’m still annoyed at change, still struggle to Go Out And Do Things in life). :(

Have you talked to doctor about those? You may have to seek out psychologist and/or therapist to get answers you’re looking for.
I wish I could go back and get diagnosed sooner. I barely remember my 20’s due to major depressive episodes. But I’m happy I’m figuring it out now instead of 10 or 20 yrs from now!
Get everything out. Do your step 1 in the project. Good so far. Rinse and repeat.
What do the clothes pins do?
Everything at once!
