feeling exactly this in my own grad school journey. congrats on getting through it!!!

instead I am expecting bloodwork/lab results this week which prob will set off new medical hoopla, will be starting my next term of grad school on Wednesday, and I have extra responsibilities at work starting tomorrow bc we've lost a couple staff

I didn't do anything crazy but I did some very lowkey socializing and I tidied up both my environment and some brainspace and it was v rejuvenating for me and I feel like I just need one more day of it

I've been feeling this about Katsucon hard enough that I might not go lol, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who experiences this. but I hope you can find people to spend time with at the con!

AWWW omg that's really cute! I was struggling to see the birds but this makes sense

And I don't know if the answer is: everyone is too traumatized to do work and we need to reinvent society. Or if it's more like: generations are losing their cognitive abilities and willpower due to destructive technologies. Or: we all have post-viral brain damage. Or: all of the above.

I've definitely been honest about similar situations and the other person has not found it rude but it's been w people who already know I have ADHD lol
