Anyone else got a really bad burnout a few months after ADHD diagnosis
I know that self awareness/diagnosis can help you understand how you’ve been in mini burnout cycles for a while, from trying to “work harder” as one of the few coping mechanisms at your disposal when feeling like you’re *not enough* / *not doing enough*. But now I’m in a burnout worse than any of the ‘mini’ burnouts before, from pushing myself even more once I was granted more access to tools to do better (e.g., tools, therapy protocols, the permission to do things differently than others in order to achieve the same thing).
