We're so fried.

Craving constant stimulation yet too anxious to enjoy anything actually stimulating so we resort to idle games because that's all the responsibility we can comfortably enjoy.

I don't think there's anything wrong with us, I think everyone is just super burnt out.

still worth eating. you'll sleep bad if your body is eating itself

A few times I’ve left my phone on my desk before going to bed and still got hella executive dysfunction.

One time, I missed all my classes that day because I couldn’t get myself to get up. I couldn’t even distract myself with my phone because it was too far away. So I just sat there freaking out that I’m missing class and being unproductive etc. for no fucking reason.

Then someone knocked on my door, I got up immediately, picked up the package my roommate had ordered and, after closing the door, promptly had a breakdown because why in the fuck couldn’t I just get out of bed sooner?!

This was before I was diagnosed. Anyway point is that you don’t need distraction from a phone to not do a task. The distraction probably does help relieve/distract from the stress of “why tf can’t I do this simple thing” though

For some, the phone is the driver of the problem(s). For others, it's only a symptom.

I can only speak for myself but it doesn't seem to be too much. I often have moments like these when I am not even doing anything else but am just sitting somewhere or laying in bed doing nothing. I can see how my phone could affect that but it feels different when I am pulled more towards my phone than if I am having executive dysfunction. I hope this makes sense

Not necessarily, and probably not even usually

You should go next Friday. It'll be fun! 🙂

And if it sucks you can go home.

I work 3rd shift and have the house to myself when I get up on my days off. I'll grab a cup of tea (I can stand coffee) go get on my computer, turn on YouTube or something and every 3 to 4 hours get up and get a new cup of tea since the one I have I've only taken a few sips of and has gone cold (I still down it before making a new one). Then in the morning I'll feel sick and will be asked "what did you eat that could have caused that?" And that's when I remember I should have eaten once or twice since waking up.

Similarly with the gaming rig. Upgraded 2 years ago. Barely gaming on it

What did get me to game more was getting a steam deck. Just having it in arms reach with a game already running when I turn it on helps tremendously
