Yep, and then my mom comes in and yells that my place is a mess and I’m like “but I cleaned that and that!”
I can go in hyper focus when cleaning and then I'll be flossing my stove top hobs or something like that. 🫠 when everything around is still a mess 🤣
Yup. I belong here. I totally forgot I already saw this until I went to like it and saw I had already liked it. I even laughed as if it was new to me lmao. #ADHDprobs
Exactly. And then some days are like the roomba knocked over a big box of glitter or something and it’s somehow worse🫠. Just like when I think I will finally take on my closet and suddenly after hours of working on it… it’s just spread all over the entire house now😵💫😬🤷🏻♀️!
Yes! When I deep clean my son’s room I pull everything into the middle of the room in a big pile and then I sweep behind where everything use to be. Then I go through all the stuff and make bags: trash or give away. Everything else goes to a designated space in the room. It takes me all day, sometimes a whole weekend, but my husband reminds me to take breaks if I forget to set an alarm. So he actively gets me out of the house for lunch, to take a walk, to go to dinner (even just to pick up fast food), or drags me to the store with him or other places while he runs errands. I have fibromyalgia so I ice and take my meds, do my stretches, do my meditation and sound therapy etc in the car or upstairs on breaks. But with ADHD the time blindness means I can really overdo it and often still go to bed with a bunch of stuff out in one room or other. My husband is doing his best to understand it, but I know I can be hard to live with because of the combination of ADHD and Fibromyalgia. He use to say “I thought you were cleaning in here, how does it look worse than before you started?” And I would say “that’s because it’s a process. I’m not done yet.” But now he just comes in and says “hey do you think you’re at a good stopping point to go get lunch with me?” And I’m just excited he didn’t ask me to cook on top of everything else I’m doing in that moment lol. He’s an absolute gift of a human being. I feel very lucky to have him <3.
