If you see me eating eggs for the 900th time—mind your business 😂 ADHD brains need protein in the morning. It helps with focus, mood, and energy. Eggs, shakes, cold nuggets—it doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to work. Feed your brain. #ADHD #NeurodivergentLife #nojudgementzone #onlysupport
I also liked this actor as well! So funny!
Thank you so much! Love how you noticed the intention! My partner and I make Severance Merch (link in bio). I love creating pieces that pay homage to the show while showing my art style. I also wanted this piece to have a bit of Ólafur Darri Ólafsson shine through. I've adored him since Eurovision.
Perfectionism in ADHD brains can be the result of criticism, low self-esteem, or Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD), etc. It can make you feel stuck.

The goal is progress, not perfection. You’re allowed to start imperfect, show up unfinished, and iterate.

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder with inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that affects daily life, work, school and relationships. It involves differences in brain areas like the prefrontal cortex responsible for attention, memory and impulse control. (Hoogman et al., 2023)

Your primary responsibility is to love yourself—first and foremost. You will always be your greatest advocate, friend, and supporter. Each small act of self-love—each act of defiance against self-doubt—paves the way for a positive shift in your mindset.

Ahh. And as an autistic person who analyses people's actions to an unhealthy degree 😅.. her leaving Hampton felt normal to me as she often does not consider people's well-being or basic regard when she's hyper tuned into her plans or goals. People are often just means to an end. Interesting point!
I'm saddened to hear it didn't fly for you 🥺
Balance of the Betas, 2025.

I'm so happy to announce that this piece has been added to SVR'D FLOOR! (Link in bio)

Is anyone else as obsessed with Mark's betas? 😅 Just me?

She's back!!! 🐙
After a long hiatus, I'm happy to announce that I was able to work on the Dopamine, the Octopus project. Do you suffer from Impostor Syndrome?

We have a new sticker available at SVR'D FLOOR! (Link in Bio). This is so exciting!
2) I ended up sticking to that challenge! I learned to mix, I made due, I curbed my spending. And eventually I would reward myself with tubes when pans needed filling. I would use tubes as rewards for getting other goals done. But this is how I ended up with a mix lol. It taught me discipline.
1) You noticed, eh? lol. So I am AuDHD and I have been guilty of impulsive spending. Although I am proud to say that I have developed really great tools in the last 3 years! I challenged to myself of only buy one small travel set of 12 pans and I wasn't allowed to buy anything else until it was gone
After a long hiatus due to a challenging period of pathological demand avoidance, I've worked on some tools, and I'm back to working on Dopamine, the Octopus 🐙. I deserve this. She does too.

Pareidolia often presents differently for me. I don't see a lot of faces in random stimuli, but I will see shapes or objects. This will usually cause me to intentionally visualize the rest of the image I want to see, directly on top of the stimuli.
OMG puppppppyyyyy!!!!! 😍😍😍
