fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

Pina ✨ ADHD Alien @adhd-alien.bsky.social · 1d

I’ve learnt that only hyperfocus can keep me from disappointing others. Sometimes.

Two-page comic about ADHD, self-doubt, and burnout.

Panels 1+2
A person with short black hair and yellow antennae recalls lifelong struggles with effort and recognition. As a child, they cry while being scolded over homework. Later, they work hard but still fail small details and receive an “F.” When they finally succeed, they can’t enjoy it—holding a medal labeled “2,” they feel it’s luck, not skill.

Panel 3+4
Page 2:
They explain how productivity fluctuates. A blue graph shows steady effort, while a pink line spikes wildly. They say, “For me, it fluctuates more extremely.” Sitting exhausted at a messy desk, they admit, “I only stop when I’m too tired to go on. The word I learned for all this was ‘lazy.’ I never learned a healthy measure or how to trust myself.”

It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.

It turns out building habits and stuff actually requires not being in survival mode, who knew?!
(Yeah yeah I did)

"Why don't people like me?"

Growing up with undiagnosed ADHD, I struggled to keep friends. I always ended up being "too much" for people.

Too loud. Too weird. Too annoying.

But after all this time, I finally realized—I don’t have to make myself smaller to be worthy of love. ❤️‍🩹

#ADHDAwarenessMonth

Title: Fitting In

Excited blue triangle character approaches 4 orange circles, who laugh saying “Pffft” and “So annoying.”

The blue triangle gets an idea, and pulls out a saw. She starts shaving the corners of herself off in an effort to look more like a circle.

The mean orange circles laugh again, saying “What a loser, LOL” while the blue triangle looks sadly at all her corner pieces that read “loud,” “eager,” and “hyper.”

A green square shows up, with bandages all over its corners, carrying a red envelope. They help the blue triangle to her feet.

Green square proceeds to open the red envelope to reveal band-aids and re-attach the blue corners (starting with “loud”) to the triangle.

Triangle is all put back together. A purple hexagon and pink parallelogram enter the scene, excited to be there and also donning bandages on their corners.

Last frame: shapes standing together among a long line of same orange circles. The red envelope with bandages can be seen center stage.

My personal timeline is full of autistic people trying to explain that there isn't more autism than before, it's just that we're better at detecting it, and there's nothing more autistic than hoping explaining something at length will help matters when nobody is really listening.

I have to say that being an adult for me is not realizing I am Squidward from Spongebob, but instead Donkey from Shrek. Talks too much and overshares, kind of funny, cares deeply immediately, and wants a much larger lady to romance.

[ #art, #ffxi ] Day one: new OC! That'd be Myuhiehie who is my Taru monk from FFXI. I plan to paint this, but for now a very light sketch of her.
