the worst part is I do take care of myself. I’ve taken better care of myself in the past few months than ever before in my life. it doesn’t fucking matter because all I seem to want/need is community, to be part of a group that looks out for each other, and that feels fucking impossible because everyone is drowning under capitalism. no one has the time or energy to give a shit about me, or even give a shit that I give a shit about them. individualism is bullshit used to divide us so we don’t get rid of capitalism. make it our fault by saying we just need to take better care of ourselves, but all we really need is a little help from our community that doesn’t come with a fucking price tag.
Being neurotypical doesn’t actually make it better, it just makes it easier to pretend like things are ok. You’re losing energy because everything is bad and being neurodivergent makes it more difficult to ignore it.
I’ve always become angry when journalists suggest that you reduce stress to fix this or that and I can’t figure out with they expected me to suddenly win the lottery.

This game we bought into has a terrible plot and is super grindy but I derive some pleasure from the side quests.

Seems to me like this framing of the problem is a dead end.
