I am literaly like this every day, but I don't have the ability to write an article about it here, so consider it +1 vote.

That sounds more like depression

Two years ago I sought therapy for my endless cycle of depression, described almost verbatim as above. It was affecting my work performance, my marriage, and I had some pretty compelling thoughts about climbing a tree and taking the nylon-braided express. Wasn't my first time seeking therapy. I'd been dealing with depression since middle school. Been on and off anti-depressants. Nothing worked for long, spent most of my time white-knuckling my way through life. Then, this therapist tells me I don't have depression. I have ADHD and thats causing consistent depressed states in a neverending cycle of executive disfunction and shame. Or, put another way, "yeah you're depressed but that ain't the root cause." Since then I've learned a lot of ADHD coping skills, I got on low dose stimulant meds, and I've learned a lot about how my nervous system works and how to listen to it. Living my best life now. I wonder how many people are out there thinking they're depressed and that nothing has helped or will help, but are actually just under- or improperly diagnosed? Getting the totally wrong kind of help? Its kinda chilling.

You mean this isn't supposed to be how every day feels?

I try to use the frustation as fuel to do things done. It burns quick so I have to be quicker, but better than sulking in a corner.

All the fucking time. Isn't this more of a burnout/depression thing though? Or is it an overlapping of mental health issues?

That's pretty common for me.

Thank God my depression doesn't come with a side serving of guilt. The self-blame is bad enough.

Going to work in the morning, being forced to function off natural biorhythm, not being able to eat or sleep or potty at normal times: all of these contribute to ADHD burnout and not wanting to executive function at home afterwards despite feeling energetic. Laundry, Dishes, Floors. Never ending chores Why am i bored? Why can't i do more? A D H D
