But it has to be before noon, otherwise that's hot lunch. If that worked out, the next week, sit up from bed while thinking about hot breakfast. You don't have to actually have gotten up or had hot breakfast but think about it for now. Visualize a delicious steaming sausage and hot cakes spread that magically appears, for a minute. Give yourself the rest of the morning off as a treat, you earned it.

Buy those packaged oatmeal pouches and begin with hot water + oatmeal + fruit that's already dehydrated in the pouch. When you're feeling fancy and the habit has formed, add your own additional fixings like apple bits, fresh or frozen (defrosted) fruit, cinnamon etc. They can also be a big bag of quick oats pre-divided with your desired amount of sugar as well.
Another aim low hot breakfast is fried/ scrambled eggs. Eat by themselves or between two slices of bread if you need carbs.
Edit: because my flavour of ADHD runs counter to being able to form/maintain routines, I benefit from shelf stable and already-in-fridge options so they don't go to waste when I stop, and can restart easily again.

Comment on My relationship feels like it's collapsing and I don't know what to do in ~life

My family and I have our own mix of neurodivergences / alphaghetti soup mix of diagnoses. Sometimes being our best selves mean having a little dragon's den/rabbit warren of unsightliness that no one has to see, that only I have to live with, that no one needs to clean up, and that I cannot inconvenience another by taking care of myself. Maybe we meet in a neutral place where I have enough mental strength to present myself at my best before coming back to the den/warren to collapse into primordial ooze.
Maybe you move next door to B--, so that when you visit you are a guest and you eat out of paper plates and sit on Amazon boxes and everyone feels 1000% OK. When she visits your place, she kicks back or even have the resources to help out because she's not obligated to.
That's how the ancient emperors maintain peace in their court: each of the wives have their own palaces and they're invited to visit the emperor overnight. Rich European couples in the 1800s had servants, as well as their own bedrooms. Some physical space as a trade off for emotional intimacy might be beneficial here.
Sharing our lives and our most intimate selves doesn't necessarily mean sharing the exact same spaces 24/7. Hopefully, you guys can get back to Yes And when there's a bit more breathing room.

Comment on Sweden is moving forward with plans to lower the age of criminal responsibility from 15 to 13 in serious cases as it grapples with a growing number of children recruited into gangs in ~society

My strong bias is that this is often something a Conservative voter would call for in North America / Asia, with main aims to punish and incarcerate and hold responsible, in the views that aiming to rehabilitate and considerations granted based on circumstances is being "soft of crime" and the cause of crime / repeat offences.
It is not required that the young person has been forced or persuaded to be involved in crime, but the offender can be convicted of the crime even if the young person's participation has been voluntary.
Det krÀvs inte att den unga tvingats eller övertalats att involveras i brottsligheten utan gÀrningspersonen kan dömas för brottet Àven om den ungas deltagande har varit frivilligt. (English is google translate from the domarbloggen.se source)that (at least the machine English translation) makes a lot of sense to me -- I hope this had been of help to Swedish citizens.
I have not read the pdf for the regeringen.se , and only ctrl-f'd for the word Ungdomsreduktionen in the related article on young offenders (SkÀrpta regler för unga lagövertrÀdare )
Ungdomsreduktionen avskaffas helt för unga myndiga
this bullet point translation by itself sounded alarming, I'm assuming Ungdomsreduktionen means a sort of sentencing reduction out of consideration for age. From the pdf:
Den 6 november 2025 beslutade regeringen lagrÄdsremissen Frihetsbe-rövande pÄföljder för barn och unga. I lagrÄdsremissen föreslÄs att barn
och unga, i de fall en frihetsberövande pÄföljd inte kan undvikas, ska
dömas till fÀngelse i stÀllet för sluten ungdomsvÄrd. Förslaget innebÀr att
KriminalvÄrden blir ansvarig för verkstÀlligheten och att sluten ungdomsvÄrd utmönstras ur pÄföljdssystemet. Reformen föreslÄs i allt vÀsentligt
trÀda i kraft den 1 juli 2026.On November 6, 2025, the government decided on the bill to the Council of Legislation regarding deprivation of liberty for children and youth. The proposal suggests that children and young people, in cases where a custodial sentence cannot be avoided, should be sentenced to prison instead of secure youth care. This proposal means that the Prison and Probation Service will be responsible for the implementation and that secure youth care will be removed from the penalty system. The reform is set to come into effect on July 1, 2026. (gpt-4o)
so....straight to prison? Only for very serious crimes, right, that non serious child offenses still go to sluten ungdomsvÄrd? What were some of the criticisms of the sluten ungdomsvÄrd?
I would love to hear more about what's going on in Sweden and how the last round of gang crime prevention has worked so far; it sounds like a very serious problem for citizens and the government has a strong mandate to introduce relief urgently.

That's what good friends are for! And also a reminder for me to stay more neutral or at least not "dump their butt grrrr how dare they do this to my friend ill never forgive them!! Which becomes embarrassing when they've patched things up and are coming for games night.
Nemo, how's kiddo? And the rest of the family as well. If you need someone to talk to about the ordeal, you can PM me or share on Tildes, a bunch of us are parents. sending good thoughts đ· đ· đ·
