I don’t know if I heard this in therapy or on tumblr but I’ll say it again

If you’re having trouble with something due to executive dysfunction, break it down.

Instead of going out with friends, start with making your bed. If you can’t do that, start with getting out of bed. If you can’t do that, try and just sit up.

This works great with academia. Instead of writing the essay start with an outline. If you can’t do that, try and pick a topic. If you can’t do that, open some source materials.

As long as you do something, that’s good. You’re moving forward <3 

I used this today to work on an essay. 

I could not get started, there were just TOO MANY steps, TOO MANY things I needed to do to finish this essay. I said “Okay, just take your books out of your backpack. That’s all you have to do right now.” I put my books next to me on my bed and then I played a round of an app game. Then I opened the books to the pages I needed and opened my laptop. Then I played another round on my app game. 

It took a few hours, but I have 2 paragraphs written and my Works Cited finished. :)

IT’S NOT ‘PEEKED’ MY INTEREST

OR ‘PEAKED’

BUT PIQUED

‘PIQUED MY INTEREST’

THIS HAS BEEN A CAPSLOCK PSA

THIS IS ACTUALLY REALLY USEFUL THANK YOU

ADDITIONALLY:

YOU ARE NOT ‘PHASED’. YOU ARE ‘FAZED.’

IF IT HAS BEEN A VERY LONG DAY, YOU ARE ‘WEARY’. IF SOMEONE IS ACTING IN A WAY THAT MAKES YOU SUSPICIOUS, YOU ARE ‘WARY’.

ALL IN ‘DUE’ TIME, NOT ‘DO’ TIME

‘PER SE’ NOT ‘PER SAY’

THANK YOU

BREATHE - THE VERB FORM IN PRESENT TENSE

BREATH - THE NOUN FORM

THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE

WANDER - TO WALK ABOUT AIMLESSLY

WONDER - TO THINK OF IN A DREAMLIKE AND/OR WISTFUL MANNER

THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE (but one’s mind can wander)

DEFIANT - RESISTANT
DEFINITE - CERTAIN

WANTON - DELIBERATE AND UNPROVOKED ACTION (ALSO AN ARCHAIC TERM FOR A PROMISCUOUS WOMAN)

WONTON - IT’S A DUMPLING THAT’S ALL IT IS IT’S A FUCKING DUMPLING

BAWL- TO SOB/CRY

BALL- A FUCKING BALL

YOU CANNOT “BALL” YOUR EYES OUT

AND FOR FUCK’S SAKE, IT’S NOT “SIKE”; IT’S “PSYCH”. AS IN “I PSYCHED YOU OUT”; BECAUSE YOU MOMENTARILY MADE SOMEONE BELIEVE SOMETHING THAT WASN’T TRUE.

THANK YOU.

*slams reblog*

IT’S ‘MIGHT AS WELL’. ‘MIND AS WELL’ DOES NOT MAKE GRAMMATICAL SENSE.

SLEIGHT - DEXTERITY, ARTIFICE, CRAFT (FROM ‘SLY’)
SLIGHT - VERY LITTLE, FRAIL, DELICATE

IT’S ‘SLEIGHT OF HAND’.

CAN I ADD TO THIS TOO?

IT’S NOT ‘COULD OF’, THAT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE WHATSOEVER. IT’S ‘COULD HAVE’. SAME APPLIES TO ‘SHOULD HAVE’.

And this is why my students look at me as though I’m the devil when I try to tell them that no i’m not lying this really is a thing

EAGER MEANS YOU ARE EXCITEDLY LOOKING FORWARD TO SOMETHING
ANXIOUS MEANS NERVOUS ABOUT THE UPCOMING THING
IF YOURE ANXIOUS FOR VACATION SOMETHING IS WRONG

@saint-louis-is-awful

Reminded me of you.

This is great

YOU REIGN OVER SOMETHING, EXERTING POWER AND AUTHORITY AS A KING OR QUEEN WOULD.
YOU REIN IN SOMETHING, EXERTING RESTRAINT OVER IT.  IT’S A METAPHOR RELATING TO RIDING HORSES.

WHEN ONE IS NONPLUSSED, THEY ARE DISTURBED, DISMAYED OR SURPRISED.  IF SOMEONE SHOWS NO REACTION, YOU MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR A WORD LIKE UNFAZED.

QUE IS SPANISH FOR ‘WHAT’
QUEUE MEANS A LINE OF PEOPLE, OR A BRAID OR PONYTAIL.
CUE IS THE WORD, BORROWED FROM THEATER, SIGNIFYING ‘AT THIS POINT AN EVENT HAPPENS.’  

I don’t know why we’re doing this in all caps, but far be it from me to flout tradition.

hint: if a person with clinical depression and anxiety says theyre tired …. dont tell them they have no reason to be …. bc guess what….. They Know and Its Shitty

Louder!!!

I just want to add one thing-

If you have depression or anxiety? you’re not tired for no reason.

You’re tired because you have depression/anxiety.

Not only do they both come with low energy/fatigue as a legit common side effect, but they’re both fucking /exhausting/. fighting your brain all the time? exhausting. adrenaline crashes from anxiety/panic attacks? exhausting. being on edge all the time? exhausting. plus doing things costs /more/ energy when you have those mental illnesses.

You’re not tired for no reason, you’re tied because you have an illness that makes you tired.
