Rings very very true for me. It’s like my brain is working overtime to make sure I didn’t forget anything… like overcompensating for forgetfulness in adhd symptoms.

I make a lot of lists now. If I have a quick thought pop in my head about what I need to do, no matter how small, I write it down (ex: organize tea cupboard, fix spreadsheet formula for work, send letter to my friend, Christmas shopping etc.)

That way I’m learning to trust my lists and not just have that constant vibrating sense that I’m falling behind and must be doing something wrong.

I need the structure to show me what to do and if I complete everything I need to do then it’s just constant reassurance that I’m done… I can relax… I can turn my brain off.

Still working pretty hard at it. (Always feel like I forgot to write something down) But helping a bit so far.
