I have adhd and depression among other issues and it makes executive functioning very difficult at times. I’m getting older and executive functioning is sorta becoming a requirement. It’s so hard and exhausting to exist…and I don’t think I can on my own. I know people find solutions and also I’m tired of looking. I can see myself working really hard and recovering/learning to manage all my things. But the road to that place is long and hard and I’m already so tired. I’m tired and I have so many resources and people supporting me. What will happen when they leave or die? I’m not sure what I’m looking for by sharing, but I want to share. I shared these feeling with my therapist and psychiatrist and parents and they’re trying to help. but i feel like i’m just going downhill. i’m not doing better. am I better than i was five years ago? than yesterday? some days i doubt i am. is there even a path to better or is it all made up. is it just downhill from here?

      it’s definitely frustrating and demotivating to think about not being able to get by without help, i totally understand that. going forward i would suggest you acknowledge little victories in your day like getting dressed or making tea etc etc, something that takes effort but not so much it’s overwhelming- that way it does feel like you’re being productive and taking care of yourself. also understand that it’s okay to acknowledge your struggle as a disability if it’s affecting your life in such a way, and that it’s just as valid as any other physical disability and deserves the same respect and understanding

      That can be hard I am where you are. I also don't know what I want to do with my life. It can sometimes help me to know I'm not alone in not knowing. But I think part of it is because my meds aren't working. Are you on meds and are they working?
