I volunteered to help out with a trans rights rally. And accidentally became the leader for my state, because nobody else was volunteering. So yeah, now I'm stressed out of my mind getting permits, local orgs to help and more. But at least it's for a good cause I care deeply about.

MODERATORS
This is how I became moderator.
I had a stupid ADHD day today. Super annoyed and worn out. Didn't take enough meds in the morning so that probably made it even worse. The day was quiet at work so on the side I started a small art project I'd promised to do this week. Ended up multitasking the whole day, started the project from scratch like 4 times, no success. I could just use AI but I wanted to do the thing myself! Argh! Later went to gym, got the amebas so it was more mental struggle than physical exercise. Then went to grocery store and nearly had a panic attack after dissociating and feeling like losing sense of where I was. Ate unhealthy food because didn't have energy to cook anything proper. Heart is pounding and body feels anxious even though mind is tired. Should go to bed soon. Hopefully tomorrow is better.
Ugh! But you made it through it!
Yes, barely XD
cleaned my room :)
