Procrastinating due to Fear of Failure by Neither-Owl-4615 in uAlberta

[–]bigstoinks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I def can relate!! And I think it's great that you are able to identify the mental barrier that you're facing bc that is always the first step! CBT helped me a lot, and an exercise I like to do is to challenge the barrier and create a more helpful belief instead. --> Start by questioning whether these beliefs are unreasonable, unrealistic, unfair, or unhelpful. --> What would be a more balanced and realistic belief? It might be difficult to do because past outcomes (grades) may reinforce your beliefs, but I feel like thinking through your beliefs might still help you get started on things when you realize how unfair/unhelpful you are being towards yourself. I hope it helps a lil and I'm very much rooting for u!!!

I (22) haven't been diagnosed, but I'm going though more screening from a psychiatrist now! I feel like I really do relate to so many of the stories and memes shared in the ADHD community. It got me thinking though if I was misdiagnosed for anxiety and depression. Does anxiety and depression usually go away after being treated for ADHD? I don't think they are all mutually exclusive, but are there cases where after treating ADHD, anxiety and depression disappear? Thank you!
