MODERATORS
Adulthood is when you realize nobody else is going to do that for you.
Realize you're not just procrastinating about the things you have to do, but also the things you want to do. Be ready to start blocking sites like Lemmy and Twitter and Reddit on your phone because those things are neither work nor fun just time-filling.
Talk to your doctor. Get the the drugs. They work, and not only do they work they will make you realize just how bad it actually was.
