Between brain fog from my disease and the additional slowness from depression+adhd, it's astounding I can function at all.

I would do some nasty things to have a brain assistant, some little cattle prod up there to get it to chug a long. Yes please!

Clicking to open this, was imagining whether or not I'd be able to relate my frustration with the lack of availability of... thinking sticks to whatever I'd find OP had written.

But no, it maps exactly, and I love the idea of these thinking sticks.

God I feel that. Right up there with Peter's request to his therapist to zonk him out during work hours, make him think he enjoys it. Honestly either of those and I think my brain would clear right up.
