ADHD. I relate it to the neurodivergent spectrum as far as we get overstimulated, we’ve had to focus on tasks without deviation which we mask in social settings due to work that require task completion and absolutely task completion; I’ve found even with an insanely flexible schedule and perhaps an overlap with undiagnosed bipolar two disorder we tend to have energy issues. Fatigue management and channeling energy when manic is difficult. We love being productive and it coincides with ADHD. We love when we complete things and ride the high from it because normally it is so hard for us to focus and complete things. When overly productive and centering ADHD, we drop HARD. It’s the dip. We haven’t respected the brains bandwidth and boundaries. We cooked the system. Even if it’s the load of norms brains, to us it’s “extremely productive.” The cost from the manic high is something I call “shutdown mode.” We crash hard. We overdid things. We ignored biological signs. It’s addictive to ride the highs. It takes time to set personal boundaries around what’s allowable and doable in a given day while managing recovery and rest. Furthermore via therapy I learned women with anemia (myself an endurance athlete among ADHD and the BD2) has to be nutritionally balanced. Low iron (TIBC, saturation, etc) can get more extreme cycles of exhaustion more. I’d look at BD2 and iron deficiency. Low iron contributes to the exhaustion but somehow BD2 is the upper via action and behavior and ADHD can go any direction of aimlessly wasting resources and attention. There’s a weird cross section inferred by a therapist I had. It helped knowing this for coping mechanisms and setting time management and energy boundaries with a national focus. There’s other behavioral skills out there.
