    The more of these memes I see, the more I keep thinking I should probably speak to a doctor…

      Yup.

      Found a great Playlist a while ago, good set of bangers and great to work to.

      Then found out its often used in therapy to treat PTSD and help neurodiverse focus.

      Let’s not read into that too much.

      Pink: “You could be a responsible person and be productive right now.”

      Green: “🥺”

      Pink: “… or we could take a nap instead.”

      Green: “Yes, I’d prefer that.”

      There is additional context that “do the thing” in ADHD speak usually means completing the task that has been stressing you out, but that you keep putting off and feeling guilty about. Taking a nap instead, in such cases, is more about de-stressing and forgiving yourself for another day of failing to complete the task and not about being lazy. In the comic, this conversation takes place between two characters, but in reality it’s usually an individual, internal process.

      Edit: Additionally, I translated “floor time” as “nap”, but it could be any non-stressful activity, even just laying on the floor, wide awake, and staring at the ceiling.
