Having a hard time working at home now. I was strong for the past 3 weeks, but started to lose momentum last week. Today, I can’t concentrate at all, I’m on YouTube, sleeping, etc. HELP.

Can’t help you, I’m in the same boat.... too much death to worry about workpapers honestly.....

I’m not even “worried”. Something is def wrong with me though cause I’m never like this

I completely understand. I’ve hit a wall this past weekend, I don’t know what caused it- I’ve been able to somewhat compartmentalize this whole event since the beginning but lately I’ve struggled to stay motivated to get the most basic tasks done. I also feel like I’m getting gloomier by the day, which is not me at all. I’m trying to shift perspective but it’s not working right now, hoping it’s temporary as I don’t know how to fix it at the moment.

Yes, gloomy is the correct word. I’m so lucky to with my entire family too so I’m also just so distracted. My body feels heavy like I have ankle weights on or a heavy helmet/armor (lol that’s the best way I can put it).

I have the same issue. I exercise every 2-3 days, take walks outside, call my parents, and read/play games in my free time. It helps but overall I'm feeling lethargic and completely unmotivated. I'm scheduled for 40s but am charging more around 25-30 because I know I'm not being productive. It's hard

I know what you mean. I’m scheduled for 55 but charging 40. I’m not even finishing my work though, which is the worst part

Same. But like A1 said, there will be few promotions this year so focus on what matters. Do your job the best you can given the circumstances

Seeking advice. Hoping some of you have gone through something similar. I feel the onset of something bad (idk what to call it): been crying for 3 days, constant intrusive suicidal thoughts - went to the riverside park to find peace and ended up looking into the likelihood of death if I jump. I feel crushing hopelessness. I’m so tired. I really don’t think I can keep going at work, but as you can see, really need health insurance. I have been talking to a therapist for a month. Idk what to do.

Any advice for asking to work from home?
I started my job just over a month ago and the one day a week I work from home I absolutely love. I have an hour commute to the office all other days and I'd love to even just get one more day at home. My manager is not aware of my adhd and I have crippling fear and shame around it so I'd rather not tell him. The office environment I'm in is honestly any neuroduvergent's nightmare. I know it's probably wrong to not tell him but I don't want any judgement.

Started going to therapy early 2020 and had a few sessions where I really felt like I made a breakthrough and left feeling like I was on cloud 9 after every session. I stopped going (it was the through school and I graduated/covid happened) but recently started again with a new therapist. I am not feeling that “breakthrough” feeling after any of our sessions and see it as more of a burden than helpful - is this a sign that maybe this therapist isn’t for me?
