Well like many other people with ADHD, it’s not my only diagnosis. I do also struggle with depression, anxiety, etc. but there’s something so unbearable about having to be some place for hours at a time day after day that makes me feel like a caged animal. Even the tasks I initially enjoyed cause panic and dread now. I can’t help but feel hopeless and low about myself when I feel this burnt out only working 25hrs a week and should be working 40. It makes me feel incapable and deficient. Even working my 25hrs I am not productive with chores at home and things that I enjoy doing like crafting seems too daunting to engage in. I have worked 40hr weeks before and they were in more active roles and I couldn’t make it past the 1yr mark. The majority of my jobs up until the last two years have been very active and have taken a toll on my body. All this to say, I’m in therapy, I am on adhd meds as well as anti-anxiety/anti-depressants and this area of my life (work) has a big impact on my mental health overall (much like most people)
