I red this eight times as erectile dysfunction and was really confused.
Literally me. 5000 € gaming rig, but I play fucking idle games because my executive dysfunction somehow lets me enjoy those for a long period of time.
Meanwhile, my Steam account has every single game I have been hyped for since I bought that rig, with a total playing time of maybe three hours combined.
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.
Gotta love it when you can't figure out why you're uncomfortable then you remember you were going to eat an hour ago and pee half an hour ago.
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.
Shit. I feel this one. Once a week there's a social place with an amazing special on some delicious food. Every week I tell myself I'll go, and then the day of I just find myself suddenly doing anything else. It's not even anxiety, just... can't get myself up to go.
You should go next Friday. It'll be fun! 🙂
And if it sucks you can go home.
Sucking there would actually be great!

Yeah, but ED sucks at the strip club.

Still joking. It's just a tea/gaming shop with half price matcha.
Difficult decisions
fuck yeah matcha
Thank you
This post made me get out of bed after 3 hrs of scrolling
I'm going to have to make a better version of that gif to upload.
Built an expensive-ass gaming PC at the start of the year.
Haven't gamed for shit on it.
I paid off my car around the same time. Still haven't taken the title to do paperwork related to that.
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
argg right in the samezies
I did, at the very least, migrate to linux (several months after buying an AMD gpu explicitly to make linux gaming easier)
I've been on linux since mail order ubuntu CDs were a thing. I installed windows to an extra drive the other day to use some overclocker tools to diagnose crashing at idle but what a damn chore it was. Switching anything is usually a chore but man...
I really should eat today, but it's almost bed time.
still worth eating. you'll sleep bad if your body is eating itself
Body doesn't eat itself before almost a week or no food. Yeah you'll be using up fat storage and such but that's not it eating itself
it eats your stomach and intestinal lining faster than were you fed. source: i'm on my seventh butthole and have seen it firsthand.
Is that where the bleeding comes from?
There are other sources of bleeding than the ones I specialize in, but the ones I'm familiar with, the bleeding happens when you get through the lining or it sloughs off. This isn't medical advice blah blah
Clear to white mucus material?
i've never had it slough off, i've just read about it
Ah well. I should probably go to the doctor.
i'm on my seventh butthole and have seen it firsthand.
What the fuck kind of buffet are you at? Malnourished McBallonknots?
look who doesn't get their buttholes rotated every hundred thousand miles here
I think my executive dysfunction has exacerbated my fear of people and society. These two issues are cyclical, and keep reinforcing each other. Past experiences with executive dysfunction create anxiety around future attempts.
And this just compounds as I get older, which makes me think that I'm on my way to being a curmudgeon.
Oh ..... Oooooh
Procrastination is a type of executive dysfunction, no?
Not necessarily, and probably not even usually
Maybe ignorant statement incoming, but how much of this is exacerbated by phone addiction?
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
Every fucking day.
I should take my adderall….
