I feel guilty. Lazy. Unproductive and I feel I failed others. Though im not putting in the effort that I want to put in. That in turn causes anxiety and shame. Encouragement and uplift helps me go - telling me I’m lazy or belittle me I get depressed anxious and even more in a hole. And keep feeling terrible and just keep avoiding until I feel well enough to do what I need to do again.
Riding to work this morning trying to listen to this wondering why on earth is a video on adhd this long lol. Only joking. Great info thanks.
This may seem weird but I’ve mostly just accepted the last-minute way my nature is. I’ve accepted that my room either a mess or spotless. I don’t put labels on myself like a I used to I.e. you’re a loser. If there is something I really need to get done, I.e taxes, I ask a family member to help me (which I know not everyone has). Acceptance has been really helpful for my mental health.
I hate starting charting / documents, it always ends up taking up all my time because it takes me so much longer than everyone else to get things done. So there's no time for anything else, and it never ends. I'm angry and resentful that I then never have time for my family or health, and I'm doing work 24 / 7. Can't prioritize, unable to be concise in notes. So I put it off, focus on exercise, or waste time or hyperfocus on home projects, then feel guilty. Endless cycle. Feels like I'm failing life. I'm 52, diagnosed last month. Lost
Aww yeah been there w the whole situation you describe, it was such an ordeal for many years! Finally burned out.🔥😩
Been trying to do jobs w very minimal charting, which required getting out of the mental health field, and this can mean more or less money, depending on the job. Jobs that can be done in the moment, in the milieu interacting w clients or students, and def don’t end up being taken home for completion after work hours. Substituting is a possibility but haven’t tried it yet. Contact tracing was good for making more money and doing much less charting, although it was temporary. About to start working in a before/after school program. Crossing fingers for you and me!
Feel awful - dread is uncovering what the delay has cost me
“Lovely Day” by Bill Withers, such a gorgeous and cheerful song, excellent suggestion, thank you! ✨💖✨
This is absolutely fabulous ❤️🎯
I found you ❤️❤️ This has been sooo great - real and useful !
Thank you for your videos ❤️
So relieved and happy to find Sharon Saline’s videos, thank you so much! 🤩💖
i been listening to All About that Bass a lot lately 🤣 been a rough luteal phase this month. I have ADHD C and PMDD (which is not horrible every month since i started treatment)
What If you start the daily brain dumb at the Beginning of the day, after the self care routine and because it's so much to do for one person it make you so anxious because you don't know where to start, what to do first, so it becomes so overwhelming that you start having a panic attack while everyday life is coming at you too so you completely shut down?!?!?! (Become agitated towards everyone) And how to keepy focus on the whole thing? Get a timer?
I'm just trying to clean my garage that i can barely walk in. The shame, the inability to start.
Will this work on my 5th grader too???!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
And by the way, this task IS horrible.
