Executive Dysfunction Days (lemmy.world)

Does anyone else with ADHD have some days where your executive dysfunction is worse than normal, and you end up barely doing anything and feeling like crap? I'm having one of those days, and I'm hoping I'm not alone in experiencing this.

Been there this last friday, absolutely sucks and ruins my weekend with all the guilt and not being able to rest since now I have the urgent feel to do everything to make up for what I didn't do on friday.

I know we shouldn't being so hard on us but it's just so difficult sometimes.

Yeah, it's difficult to not be hard on myself sometimes. Especially weekends, I don't wanna "waste" this time because then Monday will come and I'll have work or classes!

Ok so .... what do you really want to do with your time?

I struggle with that sometimes. I often end up wasting time on some silly thing like ..uh... Lemmy lol.

I've been trying to live more intentionally after a good friend passed away this year. So I try to focus on things that make quality of life better. Like weeding so the garden makes me happy not bummed. Or if it's chores I try to look at it like "this will make our space nicer and so I will be happier day to day" rather than "ugh ... I have to do the dishes" or whatever.
