Just so you know, this isn't just an ADHD thing.
Most folk experience it and it's one of the main causes of burnout.
That said, it's always worth checking that you are getting enough vitamin d and that your thyroid is working right.
You know, I've always heard people talk about burnout, but what exactly is it/feel like?
Same thing for brain fog.
I struggle immensely to stay awake when I get home and usually pass out for a couple hours. Which sucks cause then there's not a lot I can do with the day
That. That sounds like it, coupled with frustration and feeling a bit overwhelmed.
It is cool to be exhausted after work if it fullfills you and you enjoy it, but most folk need the gaps between to be themselves.
Ahhh well, thank you for the clarification. It's good to understand it so I can recognize it myself. I'm notoriously bad at self analysis with those types of things.
It's not your fault, these things sneak up on us, and it's not part of most people's education. I don't think learned to be even halfway introspective until much later in life. And that only because I started keeping a diary and noticing things like "huh my entries are really dark when I've been drinking the previous today."
Yeah, I didn't recognize what anxiety was until a medication gave me a panic attack. I've been able to recognize it since. Due to my upbringing I'm probably further behind than most in that respect so I've taken it upon myself to try and catch up.
