      Yea, but being soft on myself also doesn’t work, and I just lose my patience with myself real quick because it’s annoying that I never get anything done.

            it’s hard work! I struggle with it myself, everyday

            here’s a secret, though: you’re good, actually, even if you don’t Do Thing. I will believe this for you, even if your brain won’t

                It’s might sound kinda silly but one thing that helped me be kinder to myself was thinking about how I treat others

                I’d never treat people I cared about how I was treating myself so trying to be as kind to myself as I was to others was the goal I set for myself

                And overtime it became easier and easier to be kind to myself about my short comings

                Yeah I may fail to do all the tasks I set out for myself today but I did accomplish somethings

                It may even be little things some days and other days it’s not a whole lot at all

                But the kinder I was to myself the more I found myself able to do the things I set out to do

                I still stumble some days but that’s okay

                  That reminds me of Rossmanns last video where he tells the story of how he discovered that he himself has also worth, especially compared to brokem apple computers.

        I think the trick is to be kind to yourself but to try different methods to solve your issues until you find one that fits. For example, a lot of people are helped by just having a schedule beforehand, so that’s generally one of the first things that get recommended.

        Straight up I’m on my 2nd break post nap since noon (literally less than 2 hours ago)

        I’ve got so much crap to do today and I’m all out of function already

    "Hey bud, I know you’re having a hard time working right now, and that’s a pretty good meme but maybe let’s just set a stopwatch and do at least 15 minutes of work before going back to memes. Don’t keep an eye on the stopwatch but you can check it if you really feel like you want to check memes. Okay good luck. "

    Best I can do, for some positive self talk

    Hey let’s all respond to this thread with whatever we’re currently procrastinating.

    I’ll go first:

    Pooping. Gym. Shower. Sleep.

      I’d like to get up and take a shower now so I can start my day. That has been the plan for the past hour.

        sometimes I get randomly motivated and I cannot control when or how, but somehow your comment motivated me to stop procrastinating and I just sprang into action and the last 30 minutes were quite productive. I owe it all to you. Thank you.

      I feel bad because his condition literally prevented him from accomplishing basic job functions, but wtf else are we supposed to do? We are engineers not mental health specialists or day care workers, we are busy and have just enough pay and resources to do our own jobs, not sit around and babysit a grown man who can’t focus on easy things. We have our own lives and kids to worry about, and this guy won’t even take medication.

      The real problem is the super structure that wasn’t made to accept the divergent. If we really care about all people we should bring this down and propose a new drive for production instead of profit.
