I’m sticking this here so I don’t start a fight with my cousin

So, cousin posted some ad for “ADHD Anger Amethyst Lapis Lazuli.” I wrote up a reply to her social media post. I deleted it, and am posting it here.

I seriously doubt the claims, but I kinda want “anger amethyst lapis lazuli.” I would wear it and giggle (maybe that’s how it works. It makes you think, “I’m wearing the anger amethyst lapis lazuli!” and then you giggle and do all the things!

Most likely it “works” because it’s a fidget. My kind need fidgets. Basically a sensory thing. It would help to focus because ADHD actually involves paying attention to everything. So you occupy part of the attention to the fidget and then you can more easily focus more of the rest of your attention on the task at hand (doesn’t work all the time or for all tasks). I twirl a pen when I write, for instance.

It was a public post so I realized that is too “exposing” if you will (not everyone treats us neurodivergent types kindly when they “find out” why we’re fucking weird). And, I guess I don’t actually want to start a fight with my cousin who wants to treat neurodivergent symptoms with rocks.

I seriously kind of do want “anger amethyst lapis lazuli.” What actually is that? Like those are 2 rocks. And ya know, lapis is also the pigment for “le sacre bleu” so, you could wear the Anger Amethyst Lapis Lazuli and shout “sacre bleu!” at random times. There are possibilities here, my friends.

This nonsense counts as writing today, right? 😉
