Literally the only thing that ever worked for me before I got medicated was trying to pick the smallest possible task or amount of time I would be okay with. “Okay I don’t want to clean my room, but I think I have it in me to throw away these three pieces of garbage on my desk” or “I think I have it in me to clean for 5 minutes”.
Sometimes I’d just do that and then quit, but sometimes I’d do it and then continue.

The starting is the hardest part for me as well. Thank god I can usually cruise once I overcome that hurdle, but only with meds.

I like when it goes from you can't do this to, if you don't get this done immediately you're gonna breakdown.

No warning either. Just might as well be emotions by Sybil.

If I ever publish a book of blank pages, that'd be one of the titles.

I read that as "erectile" at first... Still works, though. 🤣

I really need to be rewriting my resume and applying for jobs.
Instead i just tried mixing pea protein powder with powerade (its... alright i guess?) and I'm going to the gym.

You're halfway to being a gymbro with that. Start with a minus sign and double the mix so it's -peapea powder and you're doing it right. 🤷🏼♂️
