Gosh, where to start? I’ve not been diagnosed with ADHD yet but am in the process. Each day is a real struggle. I’m 31 and a woman. My brother has ADHD so it runs in the family. I’m a mess. I’m addicted to Paramol, previously been diagnosed with Social Phobia, PTSD, Depression and Anxiety. Everything takes so much effort and I’m lost. Please tell me I’m not the only one... My relationship is falling apart because of the way I am. I’m a mother and find it really difficult... I just need someone to talk to about my experiences :-(

Hi, That lost, drowning even , feeling I know only too well, and bouncing from self inflicted calamity to self inflicted calamity, eventually leading me here. Our specifics may be different but hurt and confusion is probably common to us all here You are not alone

Thanks for getting back to me. Yesterday was tough. Being off work for the holidays isn’t good for me, as when I actually stop everything gets worse! I am really struggling with exhaustion, feeling like everything I need to do is like wading through treacle and the debilitating boredom coupled with no energy to do anything...

Yep!
I dread holidays too ( unless I have an obsession that I can disappear into ), weekends are just shorter versions of that aimlessness.
Finding/creating routines to replace work may help with day turning into night into day...

I totallly agree re disappearing into obsessions, although I’ve not had one for quite a while, so maybe that’s the difficulty!

My god we really aren't normal r we!! we dread holidays!!
I've just been on 1 I was dreading it but actually really enjoyed it.
I live in a constant state of exhaustion but I have friends team mates & work colleagues that get me going
I definitely recommend joining a club (I do badminton & tennis)
Or if I'm feeling frustrated I put my headphones on & go 4 a jog or a walk
It's hard 2 get yourself motivated 2 do it but it's worth it 4 the extra energy & clearer mind
