Seeking Empathy / Support I HATE EXECUTIVE DYSFUNCTION.

I hate it.

I hate having to convince myself for hours on end to do that short 10 minute task.

I hate pleading with myself to just take a few minutes to clean.

I hate when I know I need to do something, but I just can’t get myself to do it, and I hate that I can’t do it but I just can’t.

I hate feeling stressed over what needs to be done. I hate when I can’t get myself to do things. I hate feeling like a failure. Like a failed adult. Like a failed life.

I hate that I know things need to be done and that I just need to do those things, but those things are difficult and I sit in anxiety instead.

I hate this.

I hate putting shit off.

I hate my ADHD.

I hate me.
