Ugh. I was having a nice day, things were going well, and suddnely, out of the blue like a rusting highstorm... DEPRESSION!! 

brain went, "ya know what, no. Just no. We aren't going to work the rest of today. We can't get anything of value done, so we aren't going to try. Why care?"

I still have work to doooooooooooo!

*sigh*

I am unsure. A couple of other people mentioned it and ADHD, but if not, we should make a neurodivergence thread.

A neurodivergence thread would be cool. I think there would be a lot of overlap between that one and this one, but maybe it would be neat to have this thread for mental struggles specifically, and another one for the fun/crazy parts of neurodivergence. It's common for us neurospicy folk to have struggles, but the divergence itself isn't a bad thing, it's just part of us - and some parts of that are fun! But it could feel awkward to be posting about your awesome hyperfocus session where you got so much done, while someone else is posting about how their brain decided everything is attacking them today and they had to handle a panic attack.

But then, as previously mentioned, there's a lot of overlap - poll the other people! Whaddya'll think?

(Oh to be clear though - everyone is welcome here! With or without labels. No one needs a label to not be ok. Your struggles are real, whether or not they're properly categorized or validated by others.)

Yeah, that pretty much conclusively sums up my thoughts. I could definitely use some ideas from people who've figured out executive functioning with the aforementioned ADHD - autism paradox.
