I’ve been diagnosed with adhd and anxiety since I was about 11 (23 now) and one of my biggest struggles has always been executive dysfunction. Massive procrastinator, but always managed to get things done in time. This year has been completely different. Can’t get myself to do basically anything. If I try, I feel horrible, it’s like if I’m not doing something that gives me a “reward” immediately I can’t do it. People keep telling me that it’ll be okay and I’ll graduate, but what if I don’t? What if I fail? All that time and money down the drain? It makes me feel lazy and like I’m seeking attention but at the same time I know that’s not what’s going on. I don’t know how to explain to other people what’s going on with me and I don’t know how to get myself motivated to do literally anything. It’s making my anxiety ten times worse, and I’m losing sleep. Has anyone else struggled with this level of executive dysfunction and come out okay? Am I gonna be okay?
