More like zerotonin.

To say life isn't fair would be an understatement. I'm currently juggling a million responsibilities, the existential dread of the era, and trying not to absorb the pain of everyone else and everything else that currently surrounds me. It's really difficult to keep it all together. Add that to the prohibitively high cost of therapy and a psychiatrist, and the cocktail isn't one that really makes one feel loosened up. The depression gives way to anxiety, which makes me so tired that it turns bac…

If you're one of the millions of people who were born before the ubiquity of smartphones, you might feel like you're getting old when you go online. When I scroll through TikTok, and I see countless videos that are ⅓ Family Guy clips , ⅓ ASMR slime video, and ⅓ Subway Surfer gameplay, I wonder if I'm out of touch with the youngest generation of online users. Luckily, I don't think that the millennials and elder Gen Zers have anything to worry about. We were lucky enough to grow up during a time…

Hahaha, as I write this it's almost 5 o'clock in the afternoon (evening?) and the sun has almost set. By the time I finish this listicle, it will be dark. And I'll feel as though there's nothing left of this cursed day. What will I do next? Well, that depends on my depression level . If it's low, I might actually work out and feel okay about my life. If it's at a medium, I'll probably eat dinner and watch one of my British detective series. And if it's high? Well, you know I'm taking the bong t…

It kind of feels like ADHD discourse has been at an all-time high. Everyone on Twitter seems to be discussing the disorder, and our advertisements on other social media sites always seem to do with acquiring medication for the issue, or receiving counseling for it. There's a reason for this. Over the past few years, it's become clear that attention deficit disorder manifests itself in many different ways - it's not just feeling fidgety or having a poor attention span. I recently was diagnosed m…

My attention span lasts exactly as long as this list of memes, anyway.

It seems as though an increasing number of adults in the United States are recognizing that their struggles with focus, task completion, and interpersonal interactions may have been caused by ADHD . Everyone gets sidetracked occasionally, especially when the internet relentlessly attacks your attention span, but attention deficit and hyperactivity can be totally crippling on a completely different level. It's definitely made me feel like a worse conversationalist and a less productive human. An…

Does it always feel like you're just hanging onto your last shreds of sanity by a thread? Do you feel like the tiniest change in plans could just send you absolutely reeling and over the edge? There's also the possibility that you're so used to the lack of serotonin and dopamine that you feel nothing at all. Well, these memes are for you. Between the seasonal depression that's building as every day grows shorter, and the regular depression, ADHD, anxiety, and other mental afflictions, life can…

Believe it or not, the memes you consume daily are not presented to you in some totally random and unorganized order. Memes can be as highly curated as the paintings at a museum. Speaking of museums, I'm going to take a second to share my thoughts on the “immersive experience” versions of museums that have been taking the nation by storm over the past couple of years. I have never been to one, but they all give me such a dark-sided energy. Most of them look like they're just big empty rooms in…

Happy November, y'all. October was kind of a month. I'm sure a lot of stuff happened, but it's already a blur. Kanye West was Kanye West-ing, Elon Musk brought a damn sink into Twitter HQ , and Halloween happened for what felt like a week straight. Those events are enough on their own, but we're definitely missing a lot. One thing we're not forgetting is the wealth of hilarious, weird, and relatable tweets shot into the world by people who probably spend way too much time on the internet. In fa…

Did you know that gossip columnist Perez Hilton originally coined the term "amazeballs"? I find this news to be devastating, as I could have never guessed that such a swag slang term would've come from the mind of one of society's most nefarious journalists. In hindsight, it's horrifying that we just sat back and let him say everything he said about Britney Spears . Granted, most of us were mere children when it occurred, but we still should have done something about it. Since his now long pass…

For the longest time I thought I was just a lazy and depressed sack of sh*t. However, after many appointments with mental health professionals, it turns out these things are just symptoms of a more significant problem: the ol' ADHD. Attention deficit disorder seems to be diagnosed more frequently of late. Though I'm sure some of the cases exist so people can procure uppers, I'm thrilled that my doctor was able to help me get a diagnosis and the medication that makes me feel like a normal person…

It feels like more and more adults are realizing that ADHD might be the real reason they spent years of struggling to focus, complete tasks, and maintain relationships. Everyone gets distracted sometimes, especially when the internet is pummeling your attention span on a daily basis, but attention deficit and hyperactivity is debilitating on a whole other level. Whether you struggle with ADHD or know someone who does, you'll likely appreciate these relatable memes that paint a picture of what l…

It's hard to understate how much the world is not made for autistic people. If you don't live up to a very specific standard of social behavior, you're branded as “weird.” It can be isolating growing up in a world where it seems as if everybody understands this secret language of social cues, but you just can't

It feels like more and more people who are well into adulthood are realizing that ADHD might be the real reason they spent years of struggling to focus, maintain hobbies, or even succeed at having relationships. Hell, it took 31 years for me to get diagnosed because I have ADHD and depression . Newsflash: ADHD isn't just being hyperactive or daydreaming and getting distracted. It's a bit more complex than that. The truth is that everyone gets sidetracked occasionally, especially with how brutal…

As a wise Sprouse twin once said, "In case you haven’t noticed, I'm weird. I’m a weirdo. I don't fit in. And I don't want to fit in. Have you ever seen me without this stupid hat on? That's weird." That Riverdale character was right; his existence is weird. If you told 8-year-old me that my favorite characters from Archie comics would be turned into a gritty CW show, I would have said, “what is the CW?” Jughead Jones claiming that wearing a beanie makes him a social outcast in the year of our l…
