Losing Things Evokes a Physical Stress Response (beehaw.org)

ADHD person here. And I’m just so drained from spending hours meticulously looking for (essentially) $20.

It’s not about money — I’ll live without the $20. I’ve just lost so many important things in my life so many times that it drives me absolutely fucking insane. Seething, heart thumping, muscle flexing rage.

And what makes things worse is that I take measures to prevent this from happening. So when I still lose things, the failure just cuts twice as deep.

Not looking for any solutions atm. Just venting to folks who might get it while I physically recover and let the loss go. Thanks all.

Ha, I'm the opposite. I can hammer out productive work, but can't remember words. Or rather, my brain runs at 100mph in circles around a word, and never actually grabs the freaking word 😅

Needs a midjourney image generated for it, vanilla superhero themed.

Puts me in mind of the sadly defunct blog, Superuseless Superpowers, which I used to love back in the day.
