Trying to stay positive but I need to find solutions for being productive despite the bouts of depression ...

More than just going outside.

Any advice?

"younger sibling rage is when you saw all the horrors they did to your brother, how they crushed his dreams and expected him to stand there with a smile. When they say he had a loving childhood, but all he wished is to be elsewhere, and knowing that he is no longer a loving boy you once knew, but a person filled with fury, threatning to spill all over the carpet. As a young child you do not understand, but when the teenage years hit you recognize the familiar feeling. You want to make them feel miserable, just like they did to your kind brother, whom no longer can look back on a childhood or whom was made to be like a vault, and then you realize, why that brotherly rage came flooding back in."

as a person who has very abusive parents, and my brother was the only person that made my childhood bearable I identify with this poem very much. :(

Depression/Adhd study tips coming from someone who has depression, anxiety, and ADHD. All of these I try to do

Make the process as bearable as possible. Put on those fuzzy socks you like, comfy clothes, pour yourself your favorite drink, and have a treat while studying

Pavlov yourself into it

I've found that when I do these, it both helps sit down and get started, and it makes my brain associate it with positive things.

If you have the option, have a specific place you do schoolwork.

I happen to have like 3 desks in my dorm, even though I live in a single 🙃 So I have a desk where I have fun stuff, like my TV and gaming console, and a work desk which has my printer, laptop, and Kettle.

Minimize your distractions. Given that I'm currently writing this in procrastination, I'm lowkey failing that, but that's okay. You're going to get distracted sometimes. What matters is getting something done.

What did help minimize distractions is that I drink tea while I work. So I moved my kettle to my desk so I wouldn't have to get up and walk across my room every half hour

Find lighting that works for you. Some people might like soft lighting,

for me if I'm studying at night I need all the lights on to minimc daylight as much as possible.

Notice what you happen to be wearing or doing when your being productive. Like after you get your work done. We're you sitting in a specific position? what was the environment like? what were you wearing, was your hair up or down? were you wearing shoes?

Oddly, for me, I'm most productive if I'm wearing a bra with an underwire. If I need to clean, putting on shoes seems to cue my brain into its work time. Music usually helps me stay focused

If you take medication, make sure you take your medication.

Look, just make sure your basic needs, like sleep, food, and water, are all met first. Trust me, it is impossible to focus otherwise. Same with anything clamoring at your brain.

Regulate yourself first, like lay under a weighted blanket, meditate, or go on a walk. Those are all examples I do that help.

If you're nervous about an exam you're studying for and your stomach is in knots, you're never gonna retain the info. So take care of yourself first.

Block off more time than you think you need. Should this only take an hour? block off 2.5 hours. Especially if you have adhd and you aren't hyperfocused, you're gonna get distracted. Sometimes, you might not finish. that's okay. The goal is to have something. A word, a sentence, a page. Even if it's not a lot, something is better than nothing.

if you're really struggling with an assignment, half ass it. something is better than nothing, and yeah, you might fail it, but at least I'll be a 20% rather than a 0%.

Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly

Somehow I always forget how after a death in the family, the whole paperwork and accounts sorting stuff ordeal is so depressingly long. Can't just mourn anything in peace, you gotta call banks and lawyers and family members you've spoken to maybe twice in your life before.

Oh, and rent just doubled.

I just want to rot in bed.

It's 4pm.

I'm in Chicago.

I'm drinking Diet Pepsi that's still cold from the back porch.

I consciously did nothing today -- apart from sewing and starting a batch of handmade paper. That, along with the two-hour nap I took this afternoon, is helping me recharge.

So, job-wise, I completed my half of an ADA request form -- which, I believe, was given very begrudgingly by the team support director (what passes for an HR person at my workplace). The one month trial period for this schedule that we agreed to ends this Friday. I have not changed my mind. I don't believe the director has changed her mind. So, I'm going into the next nine days fully anticipating that I'm going to be giving my notice on March 5th, with my last day being March 22. At this point, I'm kind of looking forward to it. I'm going to miss all the kids and families I forged relationships with, but it is what it is.

Managing my symptoms: taking my meds, less sound sensitivity/auditory processing issues this week -- talking with my lead teacher and pausing the Alexa in the classroom did a lot to help with that. Minimal overheating and itches this week, no feelings of constriction. Dysphoria/body dysmorphic stuff occasionally pops up to hit me in the face -- mirrors are not my friends. Taking photos for Brightwheel that accidentally get me in frame... not my friend.

Things I feel positive about: sewing, hanging out with Rocket, re-watching The Walten Files. The sun is out and we're less than two weeks out from the return of Daylight Savings.

I had been SO down and anxious about a certain thing regarding my friendships for a while now. It was such a dumb little thing but it hit me SOOO dang hard and it made me super sick for most of October (and slightly less sick for November and December, but still not well) just by remembering it. It made me hate something that I really loved and resent my friends a lot too, and that hurt extra hard because I don't want to resent them not for such a trivial thing! but it hurt me! and made me feel awful with myself when I already have a flimsy self-esteem. One of my friends did reach out to give me comfort and that helped me a lot to not be worse than I was but maaan it had persisted and still hurt every time I thought about it.

Anyway, today another friend came to me to talk about it with ideas so we could do things together. I don't know how to explain it without giving away what my dumb friendship hurt is asdfg BUT! they made me feel extremely included and loved, and that fixed so much of what was going on with me regarding this whole thing ;w; I'm even excited about the thing that was giving me so much anxiety! we are together! we have our lil secret plans! our shenanigans! Now I have something to look forward to!

I'm legit about to cry. I was feeling so abandoned? I didn't think anyone would care to go so far to make me feel included as they did :'). Their plan may not go as well in the end, but we'll still stick together and try to make it work. And even if it doesn't... at least now I know I have someone I can count on for this and that we will certainly keep being a team no matter what ;w;

Power of friendship saved me etc.etc

need need need to get another job. to get out of this house, to get out of phoenix, to actually finally be able to be a whole person instead of just a receptacle for and a producer of Work, to do all the shit that everyone else was able to figure out 10+ years ago. I hesitate to call 2024 my year because if I do it'll automatically flop and I'll be stuck in hell

Just to clarify, I wear black when I’m having a depressive episode so when I’m sobbing uncontrollably in my school’s hallway or am having a panic attack I draw less attention than when I wear my neon blue jacket.

I just feel a lot less stupid when my mental breakdowns line up with my wardrobe’s aesthetic.
