There's nothing like having the #motivation to do something and then running into repeated unexpected issues that suck the motivation right out of you.

I wish all of my technology would just fucking work consistently so I can focus on figuring out my processes for productivity instead of troubleshooting something that was working fine 2 days ago 🤬🤬🤬

Hi, I’m Arp! I got diagnosed with ADHD at 49, and now I'm trying to figure out what's me, what's masking, and just about everything else. I make comics (when imposter syndrome isn't striking) and write about life as a creative Indian-American. I’m self-taught, self-employed, and self-flagellating.

More Notes & Asides

Just writing this stresses me the f out 😖 I’m pushing myself far out of my comfort zone, to pursue something I’ve long wanted, that I think I can do well – but have been frozen by #anxiety, #ImposterSyndrome, & #RejectionSensitiveDysphoria. I’m gonna record myself singing for the #GreenDay Cover Project, deadline next Tuesday 3/15 at midnight.

I had a LOT of fun making this with #greenroomireland‘s #punk #AffiinityDesigner assets. All strokes, graphics, & #textures are from their asset pack, except for the font (Futura) and the #skull, which is that of a modern cotton-top #tamarin (I took the photo at #Duke #Lemur Center’s cute little #museum). #greenroommedia #digitalart #textures #digitalillustrator #DigitalArt #MastoArt #Affinity #lowbrowart #lowbrowartist #posterdesign

In other news: currently obsessed with the Green Day demo song ‘Black Eyeliner’ from the 25th anniversary (jfc the time has past) release of Nimrod. Some songs just catch me from the first listen and hit me deep. Maybe some of it is the familiarity since part of the chorus ended up in ‘Church on Sunday.’ But usually the combo of the music & melodies hit me, and the lyrics do on a subconscious level until I learn the actual lyrics. PS I’m procrastinating

I just realized that #Nemo’s performance on the balancing thingies was a physical representation of their thoughts, feelings, & journey. They went from having trouble balancing on them (like societal expectations vs their dysmorphia) to being in control (breaking the code) 🤯🤯🤯 Am I just slow on the uptake? #ESC #Eurovision

Meme of Keenan Thompson pretending to be Steve Harvey hosting Family Feud, looking perturbed af. It looks like the show, with the questions & answers on screen. Title: My ADHD Question & Answers: How to have a conversation? A: interrupt them C: zone out B: trip over your words D: get really excited about the topic and freak them out
Share on #Mastodon works, but delaying the share does not despite #cron running every 5 minutes. Now let’s see if the featured image gets shared. #adhd #adhdmemes

A belated #TuneTuesday as yesterday got away from me. The #FunSong theme made me think immediately of my newest #music obsession, #ElectricCallboy and their song We Got The Moves. It’s a song about partying and they don’t take themselves seriously in the least. 20yo me would likely sneer at ‘commercialism’ or some other nonesuch but 50yo me enjoys the hell out of this.
