Static Brain

The weirdest realization I’ve this year about success is that I was subconsciously waiting to FEEL successful before allowing myself to consistently take action. It wasn't just me. A LOT of people I knew where suffering from this trap. 👇👇👇

8) Stop using your goals as a whip. Movement creates identity, not the other way around. Follow Static Brain to understand the hidden mechanics of a loud brain trying to build a serious life. Save this for the next time the courtroom opens. 🧠

7) Confidence is not a prerequisite for movement—it is the byproduct. Thinking is not evidence; only the physical act of touching the object or opening the tab provides the proof your body actually respects.

The Internal Courtroom (Dismantling the Future Evidence Trap) ADHD task paralysis isn’t a lack of discipline. It’s an internal negotiation where your brain refuses to fund the energy for a task until it has proof of safety. We call it the Future Evidence Trap. 👇👇👇

@Offixialanagu A good thing happens to your relationship with yourself when you discover that one of your major struggles is shared by millions of other people.

The craziest thing about ADHD is discovering that your weirdest habits already have names. Body doubling. Time blindness. Hyperfocus. Task paralysis. Turns out you weren't making it up after all.

@omgsidewalks A surprising amount of adulthood is grieving the person you could have been if your needs had been met sooner.

The older I get, i realized that a lot of adults are healing their inner child and that's one of the reasons why i don't make fun of people who have "childish" hobbies. Some people didn't get to have a childhood until they became adults.

@DrMcFillin @joannamoncrieff You start to become skeptical when your treatment starts feeling like it's permanent but improvement still feels temporary. It's one thing if the treatment is not working. Okay.. but often times the protocols are continuing while quietly failing the people inside them.

On episode #200 of Radically Genuine, @joannamoncrieff and I discuss the uncomfortable truth about psychiatry: an industry incentivized to keep people sick, antidepressants that cause physical dependence despite being marketed otherwise, and why the majority of mental health problems may need to be moved out of medicine entirely. Is the psychiatric system built to heal you, or to keep you coming back? #RadicallyGenuine #Psychiatry #AntidepressantWithdrawal #MentalHealth #PsychiatryReform #SSRIs #JoannaMoncrieff

@Rapunzel_hnn The irony is that if you find nothing, the distrust in your partner is still going to be there. If you do find something, the relationship changes anyway. It's not about whether or not you could find dirt on your partner.. it's that your insecurity believes that it needs to.

Is it ever okay to go through your partner's phone?

Nothing drains a workplace faster than emotionally immature adults in grown bodies.

@KeruboSk It's funny because a long vacation will be a time of rest from work but then I need a few days of rest to unwind from the long vacation.

Neurodivergent people don’t recharge from weekends. They recharge from uninterrupted time with zero expectations attached to it.

@Tim_Denning It's hard to remember what humans look like naturally when everyone is being optimized for dopamine spikes by algorithms.

I feel violently ill as I watch the average person get more and more stupider, more distracted, more unresourceful, and lacking all resemblance of compassion.

@Favwontmiss The cruel part is that you're not afraid of losing the information. You're afraid of losing the person you might have become if you used it.

ADHD is saving screenshots, bookmarks, and notes because you're afraid of losing a great idea... then never opening them again because the collection became overwhelming.

@nuel_szy Yeah, there’s probably nothing more humbling than realizing you were operating from a completely different version of the story... and none of the things you believed were ever actually happening. It only existed in your head.

The scary thing about deception isn't even the lie itself it's that you were walking around thinking everything was fine. Meanwhile everyone else already knew. That "wait, I was the clown?" feeling? Unmatched.

@ayojoestar For many of us, getting diagnosed as an adult feels like your lawyer finally showed up to your decades-old internal court case with a stack of evidence that finally clears your name. You think "so I'm not crazy." It just basically gives the noise a name.

the harsh truth is: having your neurodivergence recognized in childhood is a privilege. some of us weren’t given that space; we were just labeled difficult, too sensitive, a smart aleck, or "a behavioral problem"

@omgsidewalks Hopefully your "I know how to be alone" is not really a "I stopped expecting people to stick around."

I know how to be alone.
