I’m so overwhelmed and have to much to do but it’s 2:49 am and nothing is done and I’m exhausted. ADHD paralysis and time blindness has put me through the wringer lately, and particularly this now Tuesday morning when I don’t have time for it anymore.

Hi. I'm going to take the examples in the drawing right because I can relate to it too. Appointments I fear to take : email-> when do you have next slots, please ? No talking, no ugly conversation with the assistant, you get an answer of a possible date and then you have time to check your schedule. Washing machine : products can wait, a little piece of soap left does the job at a hot temperature. Cat food : buy a small one or the first one available, he needs to eat, point. Its not a week or two of not enough protein that's gonna kill him...then do a research for the next packet. In conclusion, avoid conflicts, take your time, buy your peace of mind. I always want to do the perfect thing, turns out it blows my mind and make me procrastinate. Plus, I do only small stuff during the adverts of my tv show: my housework shores are a little bit done, takes little effort, and 3 or 4 minutes are scheduled. Take heart!
At 76 I was just informed that I have ADHD. Surprise! There. Is not only a reason for what I experience, there are wonderful people like you who even draw pictures for show and tell! Thank you!!! 🤗🥰🌈
Also - welcome to the club! 🥳
The artist is actually a lady in France, named Alice Gendron, called The Mini ADHD Coach. You can find her online under that title. Though she has recently pivoted towards specializing with just women with ADHD, so she’s rebranded to The Bravefire.
Just do one thing that's a baby step. It'll get you closer. Also making a physical checklist helps when I feel myself crossing something off a list. Drink water. You got this. 🫂
One (major) thing to help: Put your phone down and leave it down for several hours. It’s hard for me to do, too. But it has to be done.
