sometimes I think about how many years of my life were wasted and how many opportunities were lost because of things within and outside of my control and I get really upset but literally all you can do is not think about that because nothing you can do can change the past.

@Moon “I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”This came to mind. Even here, we can reflect on and mourn for our losses, but then we must keep going with the time that is left to us, hopefully wiser for our reflections on life.

@Moon Me getting pissed at the adults in my K–12 years for not getting me a proper ADD diagnosis. I'm not upset they didn't put me on meds back then; I didn't need 'em and heard enough from my classmates who were Ritalin zombies. However, it would've saved me the latter half of my 20s b/c I'd know what was wrong and where to start looking for a fix.

@Moon Looking back, I unintentionally did some major self-sabotage when my grades rocketed up in middle school. Had I continued as I were in 4th–6th grade, it would've been unambiguous that something was wrong. Instead, I got a reprieve from that between middle school through the first half of college before it crept back (and hit full scale once I got my first big boy job and moved out).

@Moon @pupperipherals is it really a diagnosis that you two wanted or just a school system that doesn't assume that you're fine with sitting still in utmost boredom for half of your day

@lain I can't speak for @Moon, but my school became much less boring once I got to middle / high and almost all my classes were tracked by ability. I still slummed it in regular peon's English b/c I disliked the subject.Proper time-release meds would probably serve me better than hoping I get the morning coffee-to-food ratio right, let I waste the day with anxiety jitters or shitting.Also strategies for actually using the calendars and checking off the checklists. I was fastidious about keeping my planbook in high school but fell out of the habit in college: 100–200 level STEM classes have a consistent workload where you don't need a journal to keep track of all the deadlines.

@pupperipherals @lain I didn't actually NEED the meds until after university, I actually approached my doctor about it and they refused to prescribe them to me telling me to exhaust years of alternatives before we went back to it, if they had just given me the fucking pills I would have been massively more productive and fulfilled over like fifteen years earlier.

@Moon @lain The medical field was better when you could buy children's cough cocaine from your local traveling druggist instead of gatekeeping things behind "we need to be responsible and try the gentle approaches first".

@Moon @lain There were definitely cracks showing during my senior year [and junior year, but those were also blamable on me having my first "real" gf and spending too much time fucking and not enough filling out lab reports], but my girlfriend at the time [different than junior year] helped me limp across the finish line with the bare minimum required to earn them shouting cum laude after my name at graduation.Despite neither of my parents exhibiting hallmark ADD symptoms, they both exhibit the same lack of getting shit done that sank my tenure at my first "real" job. They both manage the day-to-day (or even annual, like taxes) tasks without a problem: it's the "special projects" where things just stall out for years on end.Also, fuck doing client-based support work. Was like having three fuckin' bosses.

@Moon I think all there is to be done about this, besides to choose not to be bitter, is to warn those with time still to spare to to dangers of squandering their fortune.

@icedquinn @Moon I haven't decided what do to in cases where what I would say would definitely be a platitude, or a tautology.And this is one of those. I'll spare you something that would come off as trite, as I'm sure you've heard it before.

Well, I used to say you never know who you’ll meet. However people seem to hardly go out to be met these days. There has to be something people will meet up to do still.

@icedquinn @Moon as time has gone on I have come back around to appreciating the truth in platitudes, with the understanding that those who need the truth therein have no use for the platitudeE.G. no one who understands what's inside a phrase like "just be yourself" needs to hear it. And anyone who does need to hear it, can't.I haven't found anything productive to do with the latter situation.

@thendrix @pwm @Moon no idea.i've been called lazy by people who didn't see me apply to 100 jobs in a week and document each one in a file because i knew they were going to make a deal out of it. anti-black for blocking a brigade. lolbert by people who never bothered to notice the whole anti big tech vibes. told i don't like TV when i try to assemble watch parties that people don't show up to.pretty much everything anyone says about me is dead wrong :cirno_shrug:

@pwm @Moon platitudes are words you say to comfort yourself because facing the abyss of hearing something bad and having nothing useful to say is too much to bear.

@icedquinn @Moon I think that's short sighted and poisonous.But I also think nothing external can help, so yes platitudes express the sentiment of wanting to help but knowing you cannot. Whatever might shake you out, I suspect only comes from an internal realization. Nothing anyone can merely say to you will sort that out.

@lain @Moon @pupperipherals Why not both? I can't wait to get a diagnosis from a decent therapist and be out of school for real this time, both of which will probably happen close in time.
