That sucks that you're dealing with all of that. It must be really tough. I wish you the best of luck finding decent mental health treatment, and I really really hope your situation improves.
I have adhd and all if these problems that go with it. I also found that my anxiety disorder causes me to get extremely stressed when my work gives me too much to do and expects me to move mountains. That's when I start feeling like this and I start not sleeping.
Turns out sleep is really important. Right now work is in a bit of a lull for me, and I'm sleeping fine again, and I don't feel depressed, or have any of these issues at the moment, except the usual, adhd issues of staying on task, going to bed at a normal time, etc.
I will say, getting enough sleep makes the world issues you've mentioned easier to deal with. Can't say I have any advice for how to get it under control considering everyone is different when it comes to how to help their adhd symptoms. I'm super sensitive to medications for example, so a lot of them haven't helped me much. Hope you start getting on the right track at least.
Edit: I would say definitely try to minimize the doom scrolling tho, cut out some of the news if you can. I find life easier to deal with if I'm not always worried about how bad the world is outside.
I have NSFW stuff blocked on lemmy. I hardly ever see anything tagged NSFW anymore.
I think we should all be pushing for that.
That's what's so great about it, you never get to sleep.
Body: I'm tired, let's go to bed
Brain: Nah, I think I'll stay up super late instead and be tired tomorrow for no reason.
I like the smart lights idea. If I owned my house I'd see about doing that.
Care to elaborate? I agree it's certainly overused. I know I use it wayy to much.
Made me chuckle, I meant my wife, haha.
I haven't had a lot of luck with adhd meds. I'm really sensitive to meds unfortunately.
That sucks man, feels all too familiar feeling like you just aren't good enough.
No you don't, stop telling lies.
