Happy #Easter.

I didn't make it to church.

I really freaking hate #ADHD and #RSD sometimes.

#SociallyAwkward

I should really sign up for the next class they're doing it in my church, so that I have, you know, a reason to go there.

I know that's gotta sound really awkward to anybody who doesn't have ADHD, but anybody who does have ADHD will instantly understand what I'm saying.

Addendum: Structure is everything to the ADHD brain. Just going somewhere, even if you know people, is freaking terrifying. But if there's a class or something with structure, suddenly, you're in your element again.

This is true. And while I people very well in specific domains where there is a set structure (which may actually make me a good manager in certain contexts), I definitely don't know how to people well in general.

For one thing, it kinda sucks when my brain:

  1. Likes to forget that people exist (#ADHD object impermanence)
  2. Always assumes that people are angry/disappointed at me (#RSD / #RejectionSensitivityDysphoria)
  3. Does a poor job of picking up on social cues (#SocialBlindness)

Fortunately, I don't have a severe case of most of these, except for the second one, which is pretty awful.

Also, while I don't like harping on "my story" (because so many have gone through so much worse), I did go through a very "Twilight Zone"-esque experience where I found all of my friends to be, well... nazis or political zombies, depending on how you want to look at it. Of course, that was preceded by about half a decade by an experience of abuse and rejection in my personal life which was pretty terrible, so I'm generally a bit f'd-up in the head when it comes to "peopling."

But I'd still like to improve. I don't live in my past. It's not a happy place, and past me isn't someone I have any allegiance to, in terms of spending emotional energy re-living.

I think there's a lot of freedom in that mindset, honestly. I sure as heck spent enough years chained to the hurts of the past. That's no freaking way to live.

y que le preparamos a un histórico del Carlos Fournier y su Mundo , tan apreciados por estos lares. Recordaros que hay un buen surtido de referencias, de la distro y sello Collector's Series DIY, en el estupendo local de Málaga.

Record Store Every Day!

&B -Rock

SHUDDER TO THINK
Music From The Motion Picture First Love, Last Rites
2025 U.S. RSD Ltd. Ed. pressing

I only bought two #recordstoreday titles this year, and both were by Shudder To Think, one of my most cherished bands.

This is the first time that this great soundtrack has been on #vinyl , & I’m still very surprised by how few people know it.
Most of these songs feature the band fronted by guest singers, including Jeff Buckley, John Doe, Billy Corgan, & more.
