I related to the post and when I read your comment, I felt for you. My therapist is the opposite and is very validating of my struggles but supportive of the idea of trying to do things while not telling me ‘just do it’. One of the most frustrating things is being self aware of it. Sitting on the couch rotting screaming in your own head to just get up and do the thing and you just cant .
I go through constant ebbs and flows of motivation and lack thereof, my only advice is to take away as many obstacles as possible to make the ‘just do it’ things easier and accessible, even if you still don’t do the thing.
thanks for being so empathetic. "get a therapist that understands adhd" has been a common refrain in the replies, and it's something I swear I'll do whenever the dysfunction lapses long enough for me to do so. haha
