It started at 27. Coincidentally, 27 was the most chaotic, beautiful, and memorable year of my life. I married, got a puppy, had my very first "big girl job" out of graduate school, and became an aunt. It was everything. It was pre-COVID bliss. Until it wasn't. Until it became a 50-pound weight gain, calling out of work seemingly every other week, missing doses of my SSRI (and my anti-hypertensive, YIKES) because I couldn't give a fuck, and requiring every last milliliter...

Learned Helplessness and Learned Optimism
Learned helplessness is a phenomenon in which an individual experiences a sense of powerlessness in situations where they have previously been exposed to uncontrollable, negative events. Discovered quite serendipitously, it has since been credited by some scholars as the impetus that resulted in cognitive psychology’s displacement of behaviorism. This phenomenon has since been observed in a wide range of species, including humans, and has been the subject of extensive research in the fields of psychology and neuroscience.

Writing with ADHD
It has taken me an unbelievably long time to start writing this. Eight months in fact! Most of my readers by now are probably thinking I’ve slipped off into the abyss.
