Welcome to c/disabled, an anticapitalist community for disabled people/people with disability(s).
What is disability justice? Disability justice is a framework of activism which centers disabled people of multiple intersections. Before participating in in this community, please read the Ten Principles of Disability Justice.
Do I count as disabled/a person with disability(s)? "Disability" is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Follow the Rules:
- This comm is open to everyone. However, the megathread is only open to people who self-identify as disabled/a person with disability(s). We center the experiences of disabled people here, and if you are abled we ask that you please respect that.
- Follow the principles of disability justice, as outlined in the link above.
- Zero tolerance for ableism. That includes lateral ableism. Ableism will result in a ban.
- No COVID minimization.
- Do not offer unsoliticed health advice. We do not want to hear about the wonders of exercise or meditation, thank you very much. Additionally, do not moralize health or "healthy choices".
- If posting an image, please write an image description for our blind/low vision comrades. (If doing this is inaccessible to you, DM one of the mods and we will help.)
- Please CW and spoiler tag discussions of ableism.
- When it comes to identify-first vs person-first language, respect the language that people choose for themselves. If someone wants to be referred to as a disabled person, respect that. If someone wants to be referred to as a person with a disability, respect that.
- Try to avoid using ableist language. It is always good to be mindful of the way language has been used to oppress and harm people.
- Follow the Hexbear Code of Conduct.
Let's kick back and have fun!

Approaching tasks is so stupidly hard. I can start cleaning the kitchen but then not finish it, even if it would only take me a minute to put something away and a few more to empty the dishwasher. I can take some clothes off of the line, but not all of them. Executive dysfunction is just stupid
I'm curious bc I don't know how it feels, so please don't take this the wrong way: how does the executive dysfunction feel in those moments? Is it like a strong feeling of "Nah, I don't want to finish" or does it seem to be an actual mental block preventing you from finishing the task?
Either way, do you feel more able to finish the task if you let some time pass?
When I start it, I feel like it will take a certain amount of time, and I feel like I'm not able to commit that amount of time to a task. Even when it's less than five minutes, I feel like I'll get frustrated doing only one task and then have to leave before I can finish. So a mental block I guess
It's so strange because when I'm working I love having one straightforward task, but when it comes to things I have to do for myself it's so much harder
Oh my, yeah I can see why this is so frustrating. I don't know of any tips that might make it easier to deal with, I really wish I did. But there's probably tips and tricks to get around the executive dysfunction or just straight up work with it (right?).
