Neurospicy Brain vs Responsibilities: The Wallpaper Incident


There is a very specific brand of chaos that comes from having a neurodivergent brain and adult responsibilities. It’s not just forgetting things or struggling with focus—those are the greatest hits, sure—but the real madness lives in the whiplash. In the way I can go from “I have so much to do” to “Let me reorganize my bookshelves by color” in the time it takes my coffee to cool.

And much like the zodiac, no two people express it the same way—but we all think we’re the worst one. So, naturally, I’ve decided to assign each sign a uniquely cursed flavor of OCD symptomatology because I have both mental illness and a deep need to categorize everything into star-based chaos.
