The upcoming article that I was working on was getting a tad too long even by my standards, and I was worried about people avoiding it like the Personality Disorders due to the sheer length. As such, I wound up cutting out the part about autistic inertia, and turning that into its own article, which is now up on the Autism section. I also added a new Affiliate to the Portal/Dock. Enjoy!

It's very important for me to have the opportunity and freedom to immerse myself in a project - I came away from college feeling frustrated that there were things I wanted to pursue further but the curriculum insisted we move on to the next topic. “We can come back to that later” hardly ever works, especially with something creative; I can schedule it in on paper, I’ll turn up for class, but my brain probably wont!

The part about the mental effort and the handgrip device was surprising but relatable and I like that you use this unseen effort to discount laziness. I too have found that building routines works to get/keep me on track; it is also important to recognise and address unhelpful ones (like sitting at the computer first thing). I try to avoid thinking about if I feel motivated.

P.S. On https://koshka.love/autism/index.html you have 2021 instead of 2022 for this page ;-)

Thank you very much, @holeinmyheart! I'm glad you liked the examples! The alliteration was a happy accident, and I honestly didn't even notice it until I read your comment. Ɑ:

@bmh Thank you for catching that error! I relate to your struggles a lot. Western education systems are awful for a lot of people (autistic/introverted especially), and I wish I had the words for all of these things back when I was in college/grade school, instead of spending years struggling despite being told that I was intelligent.

Sitting down at the computer first thing in the morning is definitely a recipe for disaster. It's just unfortunate how much of what we do is now utterly reliant on the computer in this day and age. There are ways to address this (physical books for reading, MP3 players for music, and so on) but they can only do so much...

Thank you for sharing this. I had to fuck off Twitter forever because it was seriously messing me up.
wishing you the best on making choices that are better for your mental health and sticking to them. it's definitely hard, but you are absolutely not the only person working on making such decisions - like you said, a lot of people on neocities are trying to reclaim the use of an internet space for their own fulfillment and enjoyment, instead of looking at damaging content from other people. it's one step at a time!
I feel this, I actually deleted my tumblr account today after being on there since like '09. The unhealthy mindsets people promote not just there but on every social media platform was exhausting and I didn't realize just how bad it was until recently. I felt worse after each time I looked at social media. I realized if I wanted to take my mental health seriously I had to leave. Good on u, I know it can be hard
This was a really great article. I found it very relatable and hope you have a better time than I have at staying on the saddle. Also, the related images (including the background) flow really well with the writing.
