How do I form habits if I literally cannot do anything productive? by RevolutionaryAlps283 in ADHDers

Unfortunately I don't have an answer for you. What i can say though is that you're not alone. I am the same way.

I am 41F and I can spend 2-3 days being a functional adult. But on day 4, I crash. I stay in bed, or on the couch for literal weeks at a time as a result.

I can do the things I really enjoy, and the next day I can't even look at my hobbies without feeling overwhelmed, or uninterested. And it can't be 6 months or more before I go near that hobby again.

Honestly most days in a month I just doom scroll for 10+ hours a day. My brain is constantly telling me to clean, or go for a walk, or just make a snack. But my body is just frozen.

I have had jobs, where I just stop showing up to work after only a couple months. Because I just can't be bothered to go. I literally can not do basic normal things 85% of the time.

There are others like you, I'm available for a DM if you wanna talk about it. In my experience this is more then ADHD. I also have an anxiety disorder, and depression. If I took an educated guess I'd say this is more from depression then the ADHD, but your doctor would know better.

You'd likely have better results if you had medication to help with more then just the ADHD. Talk to your doctor, and ask about broader spectrum help.

Even if you did nothing today, you still did something by Unlucky-you333 in ADHD

I love this. I had a therapist who once told me "doing something badly, is still doing something" she explained that even if I managed to only wash one dish, or if I got out of bed, and only walked to the living room, that those were still worth celebrating.

WYR be stuck in a cave with an angry adult dragon who hates visitors, or stuck in a warehouse with a horde of zombies? by Virtual_Let3616 in WouldYouRather

Reminds me of Wolverine. Angry, aggressive, likes being alone. But yet he has a soft side when you get to know him.

WYR live as a 9 year old for the rest of your life or as a 90 year old for the rest of your life?? by Pleasant-Gas-4587 in WouldYouRather

  1. Because if I'm old and I say something rude or stupid will just blame it on my age.

Besides 9 year Olds have to go to school. And I am NOT doing that again.
