I hear you. Taking breaks that fulfill me really help. I usually do coloring in a coloring book but sometimes I need quiet in a dark room. Take care <3

I’m so sorry. I get overwhelmed too end of day. For me, making sure I get enough sleep and then I need a break end of day for 3-4 hours before I see my laptop again.

Also, I push non important calls / I block off “thinking time” on my calendar every day - it’s not open for anyone. I use that to do deep thinking work, get lunch, power nap (I find a corner sofa in a different floor for this), or just go for a brisk walk in the sun. That helps!

Hope it gets better for you!

I just started meds yesterday and the change in my focus and attention to detail is mind blowing. My only concern is, just yesterday I had a tough feedback session with my manager around how I’m taking too long to complete my work, giving them anxiety around close deadlines. I’m new in the job (3 months in). Should I explain anything about my adhd to my manager or just wait for them to notice the change in me?

How do you get out of the burnout cycle? I’ve felt overwhelmed for a while and now I’m in the “can’t function at all” stage.

Any tips on how to get re-engaged, since the overwhelming feeling will come back?

But I mean, somedays I do that...I just don't want to psyche myself out if I'm expecting too much. Or pscyhe myself in if I actually might not be experiencing what I should.

Just here to say I’m so thankful we have this safe space.

Any tips for organizing a bedroom, closet, dresser & bathroom? My teen has IADHD, and low executive functioning. Her room looks like a land mine.

A therapist said to close her door if we don’t want to see it but it’s more than that. She needs this important life skill & I don’t know how to help. Easier to organize w/o her but that’s not a solution.
