One of the problems with an ADHD brain, is that things seldom seem right. It can seem like everyone knows how to live life except you.

A very long and important THREAD -
The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.
And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.
Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

The way that people my age post the comment “simpler times” with no irony whatsoever is really quite disheartening. This is the nostalgia trap happening in real time. Everything was apparently better “back in the day”, nothing to do with being younger at all, oh no

I have one goal at this point, to work on my impulse control. As an ADHD person this is something I struggle with a lot, most days. But I’m aware that if I learn to manage it better, perhaps one area at a time, many other aspects of my life will improve. I wish you all the very best with your goals.

May I respectfully suggest that we congratulate ourselves on surviving another year? How resilient are we! If anyone wants to devote energy to “decluttering” their lives or whatnot, I say good luck to you. Personally I’m just profoundly grateful to still be here…irritating the people around me
