It’s been a while since my last post, but here I am - back from the depth of ADHD burnout. How I managed to miss ALL the warning signs is mind-boggling... Oh yes, hindsight is a beautiful thing!
This is me. Trying to keep my job while caring for me. Im finding it so hard, im so angry and cant assess situations properly and am unable to remain professionally calm.
It’s so hard. Try and find some little pockets of time to look after your own needs. I don’t even know what my own needs are so it’s easier said then done but from my experience I can highly recommend not waiting until everything falls apart. Some kind of maintenance programme. Which of course isn’t easy for ADHDers as we like urgency and a lot of the neurotypical self care bores us to death.

All i want is massages and dreamless sleep.
