Does anyone else just have one day a week (Saturday for me) where they are just a full zombie and have to decompress and sleep from all of the burn out?

Yes! It was usually during a weekday but then I realized that’s socially unacceptable and moved it to Sunday 😂.

Not to go off topic, but I’ve realized that I really do need 24 hours a week to decompress and this factors into me having kids (or not having kids) and the life I’ll live. I didn’t want to admit this to myself for a while, but it’s the truth. Oh well, the truth set me free!

Same. I’ve seen other similar posts on other ADHD forums, which leads me to believe this is a common symptom of ADHD.
I wonder if it’s because our jobs are so Atypical, even tho we aren’t.

Definitely. Saturday is also my zombie day.

Anyone else have a need to exercise daily? A lot of people judge me in a negative way and in reality it is because my ADHD brain needs it. 1) the consistency for schedule 2) exercise can help tone down the symptoms before I sit down for the work day 3) it is the only thing I can control to make it look like I am not a mess (disorganization, interrupting) - basically trying to stay in the game at work based on perception of “having it together”. Just wondering if anyone faces the challenges.

First day of 30mg vyvanse today. Had a rush of energy and hyperfocus (too much so) about 2-4 hours in, but had a complete crash 5hrs after taking the pill (just a wave of fatigue, felt very good after a quick 15min nap actually) and not sure if it had any effect after. Is this normal? Should I stick it out for a few days or is this a big sign that I’m not on the right meds/dose? Nervous to keep trialling this during the workday since a midday crash is not ideal. Appreciate any advice!

Hello All - I struggle with time management. I take medication but I have no idea whether a task will take 40 mins or 4 hours. Because of this, I over commit and under deliver. Also, having been on the receiving end of criticism, over time I have developed a perfectionist streak. I won't turn it in if it is good enough. How do you break out of this habit?

Any resources to help the brain structure tasks and make better estimates? Much appreciated, thanks!
