    Handwriting anything is torture to me. I learned to type 70+ WPM by the time I was 14 and even that can’t keep up in many circumstances.

    Or handwriting becoming completely illegible. Forcefully slowing down helps, but then i lose the tought i was trying to write out.

      With ai I’m able to produce pages of documentation now that is aligned with my intent. It’s not perfect but I’m able to relatively accurately capture all my thoughts in an organized manner. I’m planning on writing skills that might help me write full books one day

      Yep, which is why ADHD enjoyers can sometimes stutter, especially when “changing lanes” in conversation. Being high is interesting because I can actively notice my thinking rate slowing down with every puff, and my speech rate going down with it.

        i do in fact trip over my words a lot too, and someone else mentioned they have illegible handwriting which i also relate super hard to. and journaling being impossible. if i could just, get all this shit in check after 36 fucking years…

        slightly offtopic weed talk

        really need to make that a more regular thing for myself. my partner and i have these super-concentrated indica gummies a friend sent away for us that we shave bits and pieces off of (500mg gummy that is pre-perf’d into four 125mg pieces, and we cut those in thirds for ~42mg) to help us sleep when his sleep schedule’s busted or i’m having a particular pain that ibuprofen can’t fix.

        personally i’m more interested in the effects from a sativa, but i the prerolls i keep getting don’t have filters so while i enjoy the effects i’m not enjoying the taste of ashes in my mouth, so i’ve been wanting to get a dry herb vape for that…

      I was told by a psychologist that my thoughts are so fast and jumbled that if I weren’t relatively smart, I’d never have been able to hold down more than a fast food asst. manager job 🙃

          in context, I actually took it as a compliment. I already knew I was neuro-spicy, just not how bad exactly, and their comment confirmed both that I have significant challenges, and that I’m smart af, enough to compensate well even before therapy
