Let me just play my counter: having such a poor memory that I forget most of the things I should be anxious about.
Does that work for you? My anxiety only gets worse if I forget the specifics.
It works for the worst reason - I have the super power to entirely forget tasks.
Want.
I'd share if I could. Though I'd warn that while every morning I wake up blissfully ignorant of shit to do... looking at that calendar and seeing the shit is extremely unpleasant.
I wonder if adhd with a perfect balenced bit of anxiety makes a normal human being.
Like i remember a time where i couldn't sleep because of all the shit i didn't do. If i had enough anxiety do do it...
I guess it just makes a very stressed human being, which is not healthy at all in the long run, neither psychically nor physically.
You guys have ADHD and no anxiety?
What kinda hell planet am I living on and how do I get to yours?😬
I didn't say I don't have any anxiety. I just mean it's probably better to keep it low instead of riding the anxiety wave all day, every day.
But yes, sometimes anxiety is what it takes to really get going.
Ah, I'm on some hellhole planet where I AM anxiety and it stops me from doing things, instead of helping me start them..
Can confirm! ADHD with GAD.
Haha, wrong! I won't do it, but I will let worrying about it ruin today, and doing it ruin tomorrow!
Haha, like I'm actually going to do it tomorrow.
If there is something you can do today, leave it for the day after tomorrow. And now you have one free day!
I wish I could do this with my colonoscopy tomorrow morning.
I mean you definitely won't get to do it the next day... but you can skip it just by not doing the cleanse.
Shit just works
Don't have a choice. I'm in hospital and it was an enema I had to get as it's only a scope round the sigmoid colon and it's in less than an hour now.
I honestly really like that quote
Nah, can't do shit now. I have anxiety and panic attack booked for the entire day. I'll be extremely motivated while I'm in bed at 3AM tho, so don't worry.
I've been trying to do a version of this. Sometimes I just need a day off. Driving myself into the ground won't help anything. It helps to take a day here and there, even if it means more work tomorrow.
Interesting proposal Frog. Let's see if our current plan of action of not doing it today works out for all of us.
Narrator: And it didn't work out for all of them
