There's this guy, Dr Russell Barkley, he does talks on ADHD. I've come across a fair bit of his content on various platforms.
Every time I see one of his videos I end up in tears. Usually within the first few minutes.
He speaks very plainly and clearly about the function of ADHD. He presents a realistic picture of what is happening and what is required.
I came across this one:
In typical fashion, I found myself crying within a few minutes.
Because other than schooling I have never had a support system. I have never had a single person in my life really hold me accountable. I have never had anyone work with me to create some kind of structure or consistency.
Everything he said, even within the first minutes, resonated with me so deeply. Because I honestly have no idea if I can do this alone. And it scares me that I might wind up getting nowhere because I am lacking in support.
ADHD is manageable. But it is damn near impossible to manage alone.
I just don't know where to go from here.

Mmm… snippet of future Musical Chairs?
“Thinking about him hurts like a kick to the gut. He hasn’t seen Sapnap since he… died. Since he drowned in poisoned blood. Since he limped through the snow, a bloodied trail behind him, knowing the way and yet feeling utterly lost, wondering if he’ll ever forget the cold look in Sapnap’s eyes and the apathetic greed of his voice when he too asked about the book right before swinging a sharp sword (his sword!) into his flesh just like his fiancé had so many times before. If he’ll ever lose the frost freezing his heart as Sapnap, his friend, his brother stood there in the last possession to his name, denying Dream that small mercy of having what is his. If he’ll ever forget the sound of Sapnap’s disbelieving words as he questioned if the torture really happened as if it wasn’t clear as day from his appearance. As if he wasn’t leaning to one side, standing on a knee bent in the wrong direction. As if a vast spread of scars didn’t sprinkle across the patches of his exposed skin. As if his once dirty blonde hair wasn’t crusted in layers of blood. As if his words meant nothing, weren’t worth enough to even consider. As if he didn’t lie the last time they spoke saw eachother about coming back to visit him.”

alright well, i'm trying to figure out if i've acquired some learned helplessness, and what to do about it. i don't know if what i'm dealing with is a result of a combination of illnesses (likely), or if this is one aspect i can target to make a material improvement. i do have adhd, and some combination of c-ptsd and depression, and so far adderall has not at all helped my ability to Do Things, as if there's some kind of mental blockade between me and tasks. i don't know what to do at this point. (sorry if this isn't really enough context? this still is the internet after all lol)
You followed up to say you’re pretty sure it’s learned helplessness now, so let me start with a non-pop psych description of LH (fully agree with your previous ask that googling was unhelpful, I tried and got nothing good)
LH occurs when a person is repeatedly, consistently punished (by others or their environment) for their efforts, and thus learns that action = pain. LH is a completely rational response to an irrational environment; when trying to do anything gets you hurt, you quickly learn not to do anything. Like other trauma responses, it’s the brain’s way of keeping you safe in an unsafe situation, and the trouble comes in when you move to a safer environment while keeping those old survival mechanisms.
So if that’s what you’re running into, the main course of action I would recommend is getting a therapist who has experience with PTSD and specifically C-PTSD like you mentioned. They’ll be able to work with you personally and give you actual tailored professional help. But for like, daily things you can do in the meantime, I think one workaround could be leaning on trusted others to help you get started. Asking a friend to go with you, sit with you, hang around and chat while you work, etc could help because although maybe You can’t do [insert thing here], they aren’t held to the same standards your brain holds you to, and their presence might help kickstart you into action. Even just telling someone about the problem can be a huge help in getting you past the problem, so definitely recruit people you can complain to and/or call for moral support. But also, just knowing that this is a problem you have can help you start working through it simply because now you can learn to recognize and refute it.
With trauma sometimes we have to be scientists; if your brain’s hypothesis is that doing things doesn’t accomplish anything, then your job is to seek out evidence and evaluate it and determine if that’s true or not. Maybe it was true in the past, but you can’t really know if it’s still true in your current situation until you test it gradually, over time, and in a wide range of activities. The goal is that eventually you will compile enough evidence (lived experience) that your brain can stop defaulting to its old strategies, but this will take time. Just don’t beat yourself up while you’re trying to learn and grow.
Hopefully that helps! Trauma is a bitch but I’m glad you’re in a place where you can start unpacking it and hopefully find some more peace in your life.

to be honest, so far? top hasn't done anything for me to dislike him.
he hasn't lied and he hasn't disrespected mew, and he actually has tried to get along with mew's friends. it's not exactly his fault the friend group all have messy complicated feelings for each other.
and ever since he actually started talking and getting to know mew, the only times he's implied mew is some kind of conquest for him to win has been when boston has told him that's how he feels and what kind of person he is. all his playboy tendencies that we've been shown have been boston projecting that persona onto him.
originally he might've had douche bag intentions, but i can't help but feel like the fate he's rushing towards is being strung around mew's finger.
i just feel like things very well could've turned out fine if boston wasn't so dead set on ruining them just because he's jealous, maybe jealous because he's not the winner, and maybe jealous because his whore in arms might achieve something boston himself might desire but doesn't dare let himself chase (a mature and genuine relationship). perhaps he feels let down and abandoned, left to be the only predator playboy hunting men for sport that's left.

bo katan living the far too relatable experience of pretending to be religious for family or extended relations to keep the waters calm. when everyone else around says amen This Is The Way with conviction and she can quietly get away with not saying it. it’s like when you have to go to church for some holiday dinner - you just smile, nod your head, and take extra care to say gosh instead of god

something something the frequency with which peter parker angrily wishes death upon people in his inner thoughts, a la "diebullseyediebullseyediebullseyediebullseye" (asm#596)
(he's pretending to be venom with a suit made of unstable molecules)
"Kill Johnny Storm! Dispose of the body!! Collect insurance!!!" (ff#17) etc...
this of course is only two (mostly) humorous examples but there are definitely more lmao

KENOBI EPISODE 6 SPOILERS
...
okay so i’ve been thinking about a fic where reader is sort of an engineer for the empire and works on building armor for the troopers or repairing them.
its lonely work. you don’t have assistants. no actual human coworkers. its just you and droids, designing, repairing, trying to improve the armor of the soldiers on the ship. you don’t really interact much with anyone else. you get requests and orders. you filled them. you move onto the next task. and repeat.
you’re expected to fix everyone on the ship’s armor. everyone--that including darth vader. however you’ve never actually had to repair his helmet or any of his armor for that matter. you got the schematics of his full suit of armor and you see how poorly designed its made. how outdated.
and you get bored sometimes...so maybe you tinker on little projects, ways to improve vader’s helmet/suit. how to make this sith lord more comfortable. and maybe you have several of those much improved helmets just waiting on a shelf, growing dusty. you never actually expect the plans to reach the light of day. he has never requested your services before.
and then one day you’re getting a comm that lord vader is needing your service and be prepared for his arrival soon.
your spine feels like a stiff rod, standing up so straight your back aches from it. heart thundering in your chest with fear of darth vader’s reputation. his anger. the doors open and you hold your breath.
you’re not expecting his haggard appearance. the labored wheezing. you don’t even see the cracked helmet at first with his body doubled over. you forget all the stories about him, your own sanity, as you rush over to his side, wrapping an arm around his back and help him inside.
its once he’s sitting down that you notice the helmet almost split apart. you see the glimpse of his scarred pale flesh.
you don’t expect him to have blue eyes.

Okay, I know you had a post regarding Myaxx staying the same in the Gwen 10 universe, but hear me out: Myaxx and Tetrax swapping roles in the Gwen 10 universe.
Mainly because I think Myaxx and Gwen would have a really fun dynamic and I want her to have a badass honorary alien mom to contrast Ben Prime having Tetrax as his badass honorary alien dad.
So long story short, this was actually my first thought regarding these characters. While I found it to be a very appealing idea, I felt like due to so many small things stacking up against the idea (Prime Ben & Tetrax’s bond being based on how he’s the same species as one of his transformations, the prospect of what Myaxx would teach Gwen like how Trax taught Ben, me not seeing a reason my Myaxx wouldn’t stay with Zennith, etc, etc), I felt like I couldn’t commit to the concept.
However, after thinking about it for a while, I think there’s a way to combine both this idea and the concept for Gw10 Myaxx I previously went with.
Myaxx role swapping with Tetrax doesn’t have to be taken to the most literal extreme. She doesn’t have to disguise herself and pose as a bounty hunter to stop Vilgax from collecting the Omnitrix.
Instead she can take the role of Tetrax in a more conceptual sense, a very cool alien character that greatly impacts the Omnitrix welder, who then later returns as a trusted figure so they can continue being very cool.
A part of Myaxx’s work was collecting DNA samples for the Omnitrix, traveling around throughout the galaxy. So one could argue that instead of Myaxx staying on Galvan Prime she conducts her work on her own, perhaps on a ship that takes her to whatever planets she needs, only meeting with Zennith when needed (this could also be used to explain wherever Prime Myaxx is meant to be).
So Tetrax does still probably meet Gwen in the equivalent to Hunted but other than that Myaxx would take his place.
