Anxiety has entered the chat

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 months ago

Let me just play my counter: having such a poor memory that I forget most of the things I should be anxious about.

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Does that work for you? My anxiety only gets worse if I forget the specifics.

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

It works for the worst reason - I have the super power to entirely forget tasks.

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Want.

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 4 points 2 months ago

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?😬

[-] Schorsch@feddit.de 3 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] BeAware@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

Ah, I'm on some hellhole planet where I AM anxiety and it stops me from doing things, instead of helping me start them..

[-] Moonguide@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Can confirm! ADHD with GAD.

[-] Fixbeat@lemmy.ml 17 points 2 months ago

Makes sense. Screw future me.

[-] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 9 points 2 months ago

That fucker deserves what he get

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

I once wrote a strongly worded letter to my morning self, telling him to skip breakfast and go run at least a kilometre first. Didn't have a lot of leverage, but it worked to the surprise of both of us.

[-] BluesF@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Haha, wrong! I won't do it, but I will let worrying about it ruin today, and doing it ruin tomorrow!

[-] Plopp@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Haha, like I'm actually going to do it tomorrow.

[-] Madeyro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 months ago

If there is something you can do today, leave it for the day after tomorrow. And now you have one free day!

[-] VaultBoyNewVegas@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I wish I could do this with my colonoscopy tomorrow morning.

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

I mean you definitely won't get to do it the next day... but you can skip it just by not doing the cleanse.

[-] YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Shit just works

[-] VaultBoyNewVegas@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

I honestly really like that quote

[-] FollyDolly@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 5 points 2 months ago

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.
