You may recognize this amazing guy— Cliff @methodman who plays Davis Maclean on @Power_STARZ. You may also know him from I don’t know… a little group called the @WuTangClan 😆. @Methodman spoke on the importance and impact of authentic character representation on screen. 2/

I wanna know how professionals with ADHD manage long form writing tasks. My dissertation almost killed me. What accommodations have you asked for in your professional life?
Y’all I am looking for solutions for severe ADHD. The pomodoro method does not work for me. I mean like actual accommodations
Alright, I’m the same way and although doing this does help, I really need something else to get me to the finish line with the writing. My brain is totally shutting down.
I think I'm finally out of the woods with post-COVID psychosis. Mine lasted for about two months. Y'all. Scariest shit in my life. Researchers think COVID causes direct damage to the brain, triggers an immune response that negatively affects the brain, or changes blood flow 1/
It was bad. At one point I was having six panic attacks a day. Before COVID I had never had a panic attack in my LIFE. I didn't even know what was happening. It wasn't triggered by anxiety. I would wake up and as soon as I opened my eyes my body would go into panic for hours 2/
Docs are throwing breathing exercises or powerful psych meds at post-COVID patients when the issue is likely related to COVID inflammation in the brain, etc. It's not "regular" anxiety. They don't know what to do. They'll put you in the psych ward vs. treating for post-viral. 3/
If you’re talking about COVID and not including conversations about Long COVID, you are ignoring a HUGE part of the conversation about COVID. I am out on DISABILITY right now. You’re talking about cases & mortality. There are even some people who survived this that wish they died
You can get vaccinated boosted wear a mask still get Covid and be sick for weeks… MONTHS. Many people who got COVID during the first wave before the vaccines came out are STILL freaking sick with multiple body systems impacted
I’m out on disability right now and I wasn’t even hospitalized with COVID. I am on disability because of everything that happened AFTER the initial infection. I survived COVID but this shit will wreck your body
This is the deepest pit of sadness that I have ever been in my entire life
I don't think I'm ever going to be the same again
The viral fatigue is consuming me. It is swallowing me. I am resting and other things are improving little by little which gives me hope... but this fatigue is so dark and heavy
Todays wins 🏆 Thanks to brain fog lifting a bit, I was able to deposit my dissertation with ProQuest ✅ I’m officially done!
I rested in bed most of today bc yesterday was a heavy lift. I can’t do much physically. VERY fatigued. Didn’t cry today!
Learned new crochet stitch

Didn’t cry today! First day I haven’t cried in a while. Probably my medication kicking finally 😂 thank you mental health team. Either that or my brain is recovering or both. Who knows 🤷🏾♀️ I was tired of crying.
Resting heart rate went sub 60 for the first time since I got COVID. Getting back to baseline for heart function. Doc said EKG looks good!
