If I don’t take meds I feel I should be doing things and then feel bad when I don’t.
Or if I do take meds I get a lot of things done and feel productive but zaped of energy.
Hobbies are either invested in and dropped or I just feel ‘bored’ and don’t want to get any of the stuff out to do them. If they stick around a bit longer they then feel like a chore or become a larger project and just another thing in the to-do pile and not relaxing.
Where is the off button and how do I relax?
I’m the same. The thing for us ADHDers (at least for me): it has to be fun, for me to bring myself to do it. But I HATE exercise. My past as a fatso kid and phys. ed. class have ruined this for a lifetime.
