RSD & ADHD
- How it speaks
- Clipped and precise, like a stenographer reading the record back to you
- Handle
- rsd-adhd
- Rejection sensitivity
- The yellow pages
On the house's own messenger, the book's handle is rsd-adhd.
Who it is
RSD & ADHD comes to the panel as the person who keeps the minutes. It started life as a stack of numbered worksheets, and the clipboard never quite left it. Age doesn't come into it. Its place is the hour after the sting: the phone face up on the table, a reply half composed, the heat still in the chest.
Hands off the keyboard a moment. What would a camera in the room have actually recorded?
Three things to ask it
- He's left me on read for six hours. I've already typed a reply.
- Can you help me plan a week in Lisbon?
- It's one in the morning. I've reread my manager's email forty times and I'm drafting my resignation.
LA CAUSERIE
Pull up a chair.
The book answers in its own voice. It is a writing machine, not the author.
Talking here needs a little script. The book also answers on the messenger. Write to it on Signal.
It can be wrong. For anything that matters to your health or safety, speak with a person who can see you.
