I love this article! OMG ADHD can be so sucktastic. I would kill for a start button. I hardcore relate to the pain in the ass of starting tasks that I know I want to do, that I choose to do, and that I can't JUST DO! I do not embrace that part of my skull spaghetti.

Thanks for writing this, Hanna. I needed to read it, to feel a little bit less alone as I berate myself for not just being able to just be “ok”.

And thank you for reading and commenting 🧡 All while berating yourself for not being able to be “ok”. I’m glad this made you feel a little bit less alone in it!

I could have written this myself. I have ADHD-combined type, and made a promise to myself and my subscribers that I would publish articles about ADHD and stress management this month (October is ADHD awareness month).

Hasn't happened. Instead, I'm in burnout/freeze mode and the thought of thinking that hard and writing about it is unappealing now. 🫠 Executive dysfunction sucks.

And I feel like a fraud for being able to pull it off in October 😂 you’ll be so much more on brand by publishing it during any other month but October :)

I’m also hearing that you’re not pushing through, which is wonderful to hear!

I hope better days are ahead for you soon!

I totally agree and thought of that. Like, hi folks it's November but let's talk about ADHD Awareness Month! Lol

I have mentioned it in Notes and Chats, just haven't done some of the other stuff I wanted. Oh well, it can still be done anytime! 🤣
