I really don't like phone calls. And dentists.
My brain: “waiting mode activated. Unable to do anything before any minor appointment” 🚫
This pretty much sums up my daily life. ‘Nuff said.
Do you also deal with mood swings? Mine have been pretty bad lately. Emotional dysregulation is a common symptom of ADHD. Though it can also be caused by bipolar disorder, autism spectrum disorder, anxiety and depression (amongst many other things).
I can go from being happy one day to feeling anxious or sad the next, often triggered by insignificant events. Also, me being a 'highly sensitive person' means I’m easily emotionally overwhelmed because I take everything to heart and even feel other people's pain. For example, I saw something upsetting on the news yesterday and it left me feeling depressed all day 🥺 Sometimes it really feels like my brain is playing Wheel of Fortune with me to decide my mood.
Sorry, I was in another dimension for a minute.
Shopping for birthday gifts is always so stressful. The possibilities are endless. Thinking of all the different options whilst trying to find the perfect one gives me massive analysis paralysis. That, in combination with the stress from waiting until the last moment (and not wanting to arrive empty-handed) have lead to some "unique" birthday gifts in the past 😂
Depression often starts out small and harmless, until it slowly creeps up from behind you and consumes you entirely. Before you know it, you're knees deep into it and unable to escape. People fail to recognize the signs, not just because you've become an expert at hiding it but also because it's SO difficult to talk about.
It's world mental health day today. Please take care of yourselves and remember you are not alone 💖

I never cease to be amazed at my ability to mess up my room in such a short time

There’s enough space under one umbrella ☔️
I always think of the process of 'mentally preparing myself to start a boring task' as pushing a boulder up a hill. To the outside world it looks as though I'm not doing anything, but internally I'm actually working really hard to climb that hill. Once I've finally mustered up the energy to start working (read: climbed the hill), it all starts flowing out automatically. It’s almost literally like getting the ball to start rolling.
I sometimes find myself procrastinating on things for weeks at a time, only to find out that it's really not that difficult and I could have finished it in half an hour. Then I feel silly for taking so long to start in the first place. But when you realize that mentally preparing yourself to start takes a lot more energy than the actual task itself, it all kind of makes sense 😅
Can anyone else relate to this or is it just me?
Sometimes I feel like a bystander on the sidelines of my own life, procrastinating on my dreams and aspirations as the years pass by. I'm fully aware that if I would just take action I would have the world at my feet. Yet I remain frozen in one place, unable to make any progression towards these goals and I'm stuck merely fantasizing about where I COULD have been - had I just been able to commit.
Screw you anxiety, I FINALLY DID IT! ✨
HEY YOU, random stranger on the internet. If you somehow stumbled upon this page (which at the time of writing has exactly > 0 < followers), WELCOME! I don't know how you found me, but maybe our paths were just meant to cross. I doodle about living with ADHD, generalized anxiety and depression - yup, I've been blessed with the full package.
Like many others, it's been a turbulent year for me. Aside from trying to survive the apocalypse and graduating university with a burnout, I've been diagnosed with ADHD at the beginning of 2020 #latediagnosisclub
I'm still coming to terms with this revelation, but doodling comics has been incredibly therapeutic for me and has played a huge part in my pursuit of happiness. And if I can manage to make other people happy with them too, or at least give you a feeling of recognition, that's more than enough for me 💖
