Focus

My brain is currently doing that thing where it’s either flitting from one idea to the next without actively settling on any one thing (”hey, make a new Sith warrior!” “hey, we should play Fallout: New Vegas again!” “hey, why don’t you give Jedi consular another try?” “hey, let’s start watching Sens8!”) or I start doing something and am immediately disinterested, not because I have another, better idea, but simply because I just suddenly don’t wanna anymore. I thought maybe doing some Whumptober or Fictober prompts would help with that, and then I thought maybe I could knuckle down and work on chapters from my current WIPs, and then I thought screw it, I’ll start a new fic … but none of this is going anywhere because I have zero focus right now. I have all these ideas and things I want to work on but none of them hold my attention for more than a couple of minutes, and I’m constantly tired but somehow incapable of napping because the instant I go to lay down I immediately get another idea or the urge to do something.

Intellectually I know that this is the result of depression/anxiety and that it will pass on its own, but while I’m stuck in this goldfish-brained hell I hate how it feels and how I feel and wish I could just freaking FOCUS.

i wish issues with daily hygiene due to mental illness were talked about more. i feel like it’s the elephant in the room when it comes to symptoms of debilitating disorders.

so i’m proud of everyone who brushed their teeth, washed their face, showered, and/or put on fresh underwear today. and it’s ok if you haven’t done all or any of those (i know i’ve only done the first two); i’m still so proud of you for managing and surviving another day. keep going you’re doin good.
