I just want some validation real quick ππ I've always had trouble cleaning, and for the longest time, I couldn't figure out the root cause of it. I usually get super anxious and break down about 30 minutes in, which definitely isnt enough time to clean my depression mess. Recently, though, I've found out I have ADHD, and I started taking adderall. I never knew my brain could be so clear. My therapist suggested that maybe my fear of cleaning has to do with my ADHD, which had never crossed my mind, but it makes so much sense. it must be the avoidance of having to consistently clean for long periods of time in combination with feeling inadequate for not being able to focus enough and not get distracted every 3 minutes. Since I've started adderall, I've been able to slowly work my way up to cleaning half of my room and only break down twice from it. I'm so proud of myself and I would appreciate the support of my alike people β€οΈ sorry this was longer than I meant for it to be, and this is the edited down version π
