Anyone else burnt out mentally even with meds? I’m sleeping, eating well, working out every day, on a low dose of meds but my motivation is in the trash. Take frequent breaks too. Brain feels tired

omg me too! just hit me today (or rather it crept up gradually to a point where i finally registered it 😂)

was reading some articles that say to go even easier on yourself during the time of pandemic. that now we're under constant low level stress that still saps our thinking and motivation (e.g. worrying about are my groceries clean, is it ethical to order online, how can i safely go outside, are my loved ones safe, etc.).

on the more medical side, are you getting enough sun / vitamin D?

But how do you convey that to a team/manager who has expectations for you to keep going? I hit a wall late in the day around 530pm and that is often when my boss wants to talk and convey updates that inform work I need to finish that evening, but I waste so much time trying to run on no energy when I could just do it the next day more rapidly once I’m recharged

Additional Posts in ADHD Consultants

Newly diagnosed & medicated and new to consulting.
I’m great with clients but getting bad evaluations because I’m slow to produce work and don’t take time to communicate status.
I’m trying really hard but I keep getting stuck in perfection loops and scared to share things before they’re perfect.

Did you struggle with this & find a way to improve? I’m terrified I’m going to get counseled out, but I love this job so much.

I’ve had enough. I may or may not have ADHD but I damn think so, as well as people I’ve talked to about it. I know I am smart and can accomplish certain things/tasks, but I literally just can’t get my mind to it sometimes. It was bad in college and only got worse since I started working. How do I go about at least getting tested or what’s the the process? Thank you so much in advance.

I have not been diagnosed with ADHD. I definitely fit some of the characteristics that go unnoticed in females. The good news is if i do have ADHD, it makes me quite good at my job as I’m very flexible and can provide positive energy to my patients. Anyway, my boss has told me I have ADHD multiple times. It seems rude when she says it, and she follows it up with “I say that because I love you” which i feel is so unprofessional all around. Anyone have guidance on how to handle this?
