Every once in a while, I get into a severe depressive episode, and in turn, it causes my ADHD symptoms to become severe. I know I need to get things done. My house being messy bothers me, but I just can't get out of bed. I'm a mom of 3 and my boyfriend doesn't understand that I want to do the tasks, but sometimes I can't and he just makes me feel worse. I don't know what to do.
This is how I feel almost everyday. I don’t know where to start. Something so simple is so hard to do, so I just lay down and watch tik tok
If you are on facebook or instagram, check out a group called ADHDoers. It's an awesome group. Also there is a group called Neurodivergent cleaning crew. 100% non-judgmental forum for tips on getting through the difficulties of housekeeping for those of us who are ND. It's a slow process to work through, but you have to take tiny baby steps. And don't judge yourself by neurotypical standards! You got this!
I understand. Ive got those „episodes“ too most of the time after a day were i was off and didnt do nothing
Best wishes for you!! Try to do the smallest most basic tasks and consider them wins!!
Just wanted to show you some love. Try getting your BF educated abt ADHD & Depression. I’m hoping he is open to learn about how your symptoms affect you. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
