Viewing ADHD through the lens of evolutionary psychology, pretty sure its a holdover from our hunter gatherer days. A lot of the traits that classify as a learning disability made me a freak of nature at live action activities like HVZ and Larp. And hell, my current job, I'm the fastest putter we have, but when I'm put on casing, I create a quagmire on the otherside of the rails with how slow I am. The second I have to stop and read something, the meticulous adoral fueled hyper fixation kicks in. Now the CPTSD, I only recently have started to notice just how debilitating it is. Years of shadow mending and emotional healing can go down the drain in an instant. Like a light switch flicks, and suddenly I'm back at rock bottom, just like "Ah, whats the fucking point anymore? Not like I've made any progress to begin with." For example, recently I learned, I might be dying. And my mind was just like "Oh well, Good riddance... So what's for lunch?" Still, when you are in the business of confronting negative spiritual entities, you gotta watch out for your mental health. If you're hemorrhaging energy from an nihilistic episode, you might as well have a neon sign on your back saying "Exploit this weakness." Don't use yourself for bait unless you really know what you're doing.

@a_wesley_g So going back a bit, now that I actually have time to make a post. So I need to ask about this point. "Asking for an ID isn’t a race issue. Appalachian isn’t a race." The fuck do you mean by this? Like really, where in my post did I even say that it was? We're everyone who ended up here. That's a cultural identity, not a racial identity. It just so happened that a lot of us with white skin ended up in Appalachia because of Racial Pedigree Laws. For context, I identify as Human. I don't give a damn about the color of my skin. But I'm here because someone thought my ancestors of the West Virginian side of my family were "Clay Eaters, Offscourings, and Lowdowners who were polluting future generations to permanent defectiveness and needed to be separated from affluent white folk to keep from breeding." Paraphrasing of course. That's the part that relates to systemic racism. The rest of your argument basically boils down to egocentric assertions. Buddy, the DMV? Not everyone out in these parts can afford a car. If you aren't one of us, don't go speaking for us. (And if anyone is curious about the history of the word "White Trash", here's a nice little anthropological lecture. Trust me, it goes places even conventional civil rights activists are apprehensive to touch.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVgATitO8c0
