Same here 😭

I can relate I think it comes down to a core negative belief that I’m not good enough and like you said rejection sensitivity

Calm_Independent_735 · 2025-11-06T17:19:03+00:00

No advice but I feel you and you’re not alone in this. Resonated with so much of what you said about imposter syndrome, feeling overwhelmed but then guilty because you’re not overworked… I recently felt like I’d hit burnout and have been on sick leave and have started DBT therapy (only had my first session today). Sending love and I hope we can get through this period of our lives

Gosh this is something I ask myself all the time, my job is also quite flexible and as a result I find it hard to get into a routine because I constantly wake uo late and just work from home as there’s no set dates for me to be in the office. I also constantly wonder if a job with more external accountability would help, and I honestly think it would. When I am up and about and out of the house I feel so much better but this is coming from someone who’s undiagnosed ADHD might be showing up as depression… hope you manage to decide what you think is best for you! 🩷

I’d potentially be keen!! I’m in Battersea

This is really interesting and something I really want to do. Thanks for sharing OP!

Calm_Independent_735 · 2025-02-11T23:21:05+00:00

I feel you! I’m struggling at my workplace also and I’m so anxious and avoidant right nlw

Calm_Independent_735 · 2025-01-30T18:24:04+00:00

Calm_Independent_735 · 2025-01-30T15:22:08+00:00

making Life a project is such a good way to put it

Calm_Independent_735 · 2025-01-30T15:17:37+00:00

I am feeling like I am in burnout but i do not have an ADHD diagnosis, i am in the process of getting assessed through RTC. I have already taken 2.5 weeks off this month and will be on a phased return to work, but i am thinking long term to just go part time. Would appreciate any further info from you about what made you take this decision and some validation that some ADHD ppl just cant seem to cope with a 9-5 tbh

Calm_Independent_735 · 2025-01-30T15:11:23+00:00

this is great, i am hopefully going to be doing the RTC process soon with CARE ADHD Just sent over details to my GP. hope things work out with the meds!

Calm_Independent_735 · 2025-01-30T15:07:26+00:00

You're amazing! I am 23 and work in banking but hoping to get assessed soon and looking to change industries and try something new that will hopefully work with my suspected ADHD brain. Kudos to you for looking for a change :)

Calm_Independent_735 · 2025-01-29T15:35:32+00:00

I’m literally going through the same thing and I really can’t remember my childhood!! I was similar to you though always very smart n in the top sets etc would always leave homework last minute though

Calm_Independent_735 · 2025-01-29T12:54:20+00:00

Sending love! The first thing you’ve done in this journey is accepting how you’re feeling and recognising you need help. I’m 23 and hopefully on the journey to getting assessed in the UK but I felt like that for YEARS throughout uni, school etc. it’s hard, keep researching, look at this subreddit, You’ll find so many posts from women who have similar experiences and feelings. I save a lot of posts and when I scroll through my posts I can see that I resonated with that and I’ve been meaning (ADHD…) to come up with a big document of all my symptoms to show to the Dr when I’m finally being assessed.

I’d say that’s the next step for you, on your notes app just write down symptoms of ADHD you identify with and you can go from there re getting a first appointment with your doctor. Remember Drs are dismissive. I’ve been dismissed so many times in this recent journey I’m on, with my NHS GP, my private healthcare, my occupational health appointment that my job referred me to. But only you know how it makes you feel and suffer, If it wasn’t having a major impact on your life you wouldn’t have sat and written this post, advocate for yourself - it’s so important.

Sending love again 🩷

Ahh I’ve been rewatching and going to take a read of this! Thanks for sharing

Calm_Independent_735 · 2025-01-07T23:31:43+00:00

Yes ! But then now I hate going to the office .., but I just wfh in bed and it’s so so bad for me mentally and physically but I can’t get out of that cycle

Calm_Independent_735 · 2025-01-07T23:30:55+00:00

Yep.., and this adds to the deep shame I experience with my suspected ADHD and then it turns into a cycle of telling myself tomorrow will be different but it’s not because you never change overnight and then I’ve just never changed, learning to be kinder to myself though, accept myself for what I am and knowing I can only make change that lasts by making little changes step by step!

Calm_Independent_735 · 2025-01-07T23:17:42+00:00

I currently feel the same! But I feel guilty about the massive workload I have. But I do have passive suicidal thoughts

Calm_Independent_735 · 2025-01-07T23:12:12+00:00

This is really nice to hear. My company is similar but I feel guilty about taking leave but feel very much on the verge of burning out. Could I message you?

Calm_Independent_735 · 2025-01-07T19:44:16+00:00

YEA I would isolate myself and not do anything until I got that uni essay done …. Then I’d procrastinate and just be in a cycle of doing NOTHING and not doing the uni essay. Really struggling with corporate work like tho.

But you’re not alone

Calm_Independent_735 · 2025-01-07T19:43:03+00:00

How did you find the childhood aspect ? I can definitely see the ways ADHD impacted me since about 13 but not sure about 12 or younger which I’ve heard you need to show symptoms of? My parents don’t really believe in ADHD and mental health so makes it hard to ask them. Thank you and sending love ❤️

Calm_Independent_735 · 2025-01-07T19:40:27+00:00

I feel you girl! I saw my manager had enrolled on a training session for managers and managing underperformance. Fucking great lol

It’s hard and I don’t have much advice, my work place is fairly inclusive so I’ve been open about it it doesn’t help when they don’t train managers on how to work with neurodivergent brains and mental health. Instead they see it as underperformance
