  • I mean maybe but I think more than likely I’m just lazy. It seems the internet diagnoses everyone with ADHD nowadays. If everyone has ADHD then does anyone really have it? I think it’s a pretty normal human thing to have difficulty doing things you don’t want to do.

    My older brother has it and it’s much more obvious that he does. I have no issues paying attention or sitting still or anything like that…whereas he will get stuck on things and stop paying attention. Homework and chores are just not particularly fun for me or anyone lol.





  • Couple of ones I can think of…

    I get sleep paralysis on occasion. For those that don’t know, it’s kind of when you get stuck in a state between REM sleep and being awake. You can’t move, but you perceive the environment around you, in addition to “hallucinating”/dreaming in the environment. There is often also a sensation of having difficulty breathing.

    Anyway, sometimes it’s a bit scary and sometimes it’s not too bad. But one time, I had an episode where a gigantic shadow demon climbed through the window in front of me and began slowly walking towards me all the while I lay there unmoving, straining everything I had to try to get up and get away to no avail. I thought I was going to die. But I woke up before it got me.

    Another dream I had that messed me up didn’t involve sleep paralysis and was actually very benign in comparison. I dreamt about my coworker’s husband yelling at us. I woke up in the middle of the night and had a weirdly strong reaction to it. I straight up started crying which was totally unexpected for me. That’s never happened for a dream. My father was an abusive husband growing up and I guess mentally it somehow put me back to way back then when I was a child. I have never had a dream that had me wake up crying before. I didn’t tell my coworker about it, either. Her husband seems ok on a surface level but he gives me bad “vibes” and I am just all around not trusting of him. I care a lot about my coworker though.

    Oooh ok I have one more but this one is funny. I had a dream where I had to amputate both of my legs with a power saw. This one was actually super casual and not scary at all…so much so that I found it hilarious to talk about the next morning with everyone. It was as casual as brushing my teeth in the morning. Not directly related to the OP since I didn’t find it scary, but it certainly amused me!


  • There is a lot of horrifying content out there. Videos of people brutally murdering others are probably among the top imo.

    Something that I had a hard time physically looking at was I once stumbled across a man who appeared to be having some sort of psychotic episode. He filmed himself trying to pull a microchip out of his eye. He kept picking at it and gouging it with his bare hands. I don’t understand how he was able to do that without screaming in pain. Hope the poor man got better after but who knows what happened.

    Edit: And before anyone attempts to ask…no I don’t have a link. LiveLeak was where I had seen a lot of things and it doesn’t exist anymore. I’m sure there are a myriad of other sites out there if you’re morbidly curious. Just don’t go asking me for references. Like others said…for many people it can end up messing them up. Don’t show anything to anyone else. If you are curious and you think you can handle it, then that’s on you. But don’t make anyone else see it even if they say they are ok with it.

    I’ve only tried weed gummies. I don’t really like the thought of stuff going into my lungs.

    Anyway, I don’t seem to get anxiety with them, not they make me feel like I’m sick with the flu…except I’m hungry instead of nauseated. It’s pretty unpleasant.

    That’s interesting. I wonder if I can trick myself into doing stuff like that as a form of punishment. Generally I find myself unable to move so I just stare into space. Sometimes I have a hard time even moving my arms and legs to drive home from work. Or to get out of the car once I’ve parked out front. How do you manage to start?


  • I am always an “avoid tolls” kind of person. I use Google maps a lot and have never had an issue with this.

    But just the other week, I was coming back from a road trip and it kept trying to make me use a rolled expressway!! Wtf!! I even triple checked my settings. I don’t understand wtf is up with that

    I live in a hot, humid environment. Keeping bread in the fridge helps it to stay good for multiple weeks. If I leave it out, it molds way quicker. I also sometimes will store bread in the freezer to keep it fresh even longer if I know I’m just going to make toast out of it.
