11•7•23 || can’t believe it’s raining in northern Minnesota in November. I’m not going to complain, though. Except about my mental state: it’s garbage. Weird brain fog and not even waking up until 3 in the afternoon. Got some pizza for the first time in a while just to avoid looking for something to eat, but I’ve worked out 2 days in a row so I’m not gonna beat myself up over it. I gotta eat. Winding the day down with some journaling and South Park.

“If you have time to be on social media, you also have time for…” “If you have time to watch Netflix, you also have time for…” Yeah, but do I have the energy for it? Do I have the emotional and mental capacity for it? Am I pain-free enough for it? Can I focus on it? Can I do it without leaving my bed? Can I safely do it without risk of (physically or emotionally) injuring myself by pushing past my boundaries?

Actually I DON'T have time.

I need insane amounts of rest to function. There's a good chance I'll also be on tumblr, chatting to a friend, listening to podcast etc. during that resting time.

But I can't use that time to do whatever I want, whenever I want, because pushing myself past my limits will make me feel like crap for days.

So technically it's NOT free time.

This is a very helpful way of putting it. Recovery time isn't free time; it's for RECOVERY. And if you're neurodivergent or chronically ill or anything in that register, it becomes even more mandatory because your mind and body will punish you that much more severely for neglecting recovery. (Though, uh, that is definitely a thing that will happen to you even if you're Perfectly Normal And Healthy, it just probably won't be as immediate or obvious! so you may not even notice it until it MAKES you neurodivergent or chronically ill!)

Your brain is a machine. Schedule downtime and maintenance, or it will be scheduled for you.
