When I get off long sessions of work, I have to debrief myself for at least an hour. Most of the time that means I’m sitting on the sofa, scrolling my phone mindlessly. It’s giving my brain a chance to let go of work and stop thinking about it - this time is so important.
During this time, it’s pretty hard to listen to anyone talk, as my head is busy spending all it’s energy on letting go of it’s tight grasp on whatever it was doing before. If I have to do this several times a day, I’m exhausted.

Letting go of tasks is no joke
Especially when things don’t go as expected or someone interrupts me with different tasks or talks about things that I’m not currently thinking about, I get so frustrated. And often - cry.

Frustration cries are no joke either, weep. I didn’t need you right now, emotions.
Also, school. Can I just scream into the void how fking tired I was coming home from school having to juggle all the different organizational and socializing skills my brain sucks at all day? Hell yes did I needed to play games to recharge and keep my fingers busy before homework
