Hi, sorry if this is too specific or something but I’ve had a recurring problem that’s ruining my life and I’m looking for advice! I constantly go through
tallgoblinboy said: omg i just sent an ask that was unfinished but essentially i have this problem that is really messing up my life (it’s pretty much entirely my doing but idk how to fix it) and i need help! Basically, I go through phases of almost-productivity, I start a morning routine and planning tonnes of tasks, and wake up early. I get super motivated and make vision boards and stuff. For like, three days max. Then I let everything get super messy and (1/2)
(2/2) and start waking up late again and stop bothering with to-do lists and just watching videos all day and feeling awful an lost. By then it’s like 6pm on Thursday and it feels pointless to bother doing much until the next week, and then I start planning to be productive again, but then on Tuesday I get up late and everything gets messed up again. I hope that makes sense. What should I do? How do I fix this? It’s maybe mostly a mindset/mindset thing but I’m just so lost and I need advice!!
hi so sorry this is such a late response, i wanted to reply to this but i completely forgot. i hope you're doing okay
im no mental health expert and im definitely not trying to diagnose you with anything, but judging by what you've described i think you should really look into getting an adhd evaluation and look into the symptoms. i know people with adhd and i know a bit about the symptoms and its rough! i hope this doesnt come off as rude or like invasive. ive just seen how hard it can be for people who dont know that they might have adhd & theyll beat themselves up a lot over things that they just cant control.
regardless i just want to say if its hard to get things done and you have low motivation, thats a sign that theres a problem whether its mental illness, stress, etc, and its not your fault! its not like you're doing it on purpose, you know?
i feel like this is really rambly, im struggling to word this all in the right way lol. i wish you the best of luck and i hope you can figure out whats causing this. please be gentle with yourself & dont beat yourself up over things love!
