I am one of those people whose ADHD makes her hopeless at day to day repetitive chores/tasks but absolutely fucking killer at managing a crisis. I am 85% positive my sister (who is also killer in a crisis) is going to get here tomorrow and tap in and I'm going to have a three day meltdown, heh - ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

Which you totally deserve to have, so I hope it’s restful

Not gonna lie, I’ve never fully melted down because I wasn’t sure I had a system in place to get me going again (though when Trump was elected, I came real close). A timed meltdown sounds lovely. Enjoy.

I had a similar conversation with my psych np yesterday. She told me when that crash comes to embrace it. I am so glad to hear you are getting reinforcements before you fall over.

Yes, my sister (whom I adore and who is wonderful) knows me well and started off her offer with "I know you're in crisis mode and not thinking ahead yet but please come let me help", heh. I'm so thankful she's going to be here for a week! It will be so helpful to have someone I can tap in.

I really love this for you! I also have a sister like that, married to a pretty fantastic human. They literally said to me yesterday “No response needed but if the walls start closing in and you would like some peeps there that are there just for you and your fam, let us know and we will mobilize.”

My mother in law was like "oh, I didn't know D and her sister are that close!" because we aren't constantly up in each other's business, but my sister is an amazing human being and I love her to bits and either will activate for the other for anything from "I am sad" to "major crisis" in an instant

We can forget to talk to each other for like a year sometimes because we're both really busy and bad at keeping track of elapsed time, but both of us know we can tap the other in for anything we need! (She did say "this is a really dramatic way to get us to actually schedule a visit", lol.)

I get deeply confused/annoyed when people are all “oh you must talk to (person) all the time? to maintain your (close)relationship” and I’m all..no? Why would I…that’s not…????

100%. It’s a visceral drive

I'm so glad you're letting her come help! You deserve to be able to tap out & embrace the breakdown for a few days, and then have a couple of days of getting on with things that aren't in crisis mode post-surgery.
