I have all three, and yeah, this is the case most of the time
but sometimes I can weaponize my ADHD against the anxiety and depression. I’ve taught my hands to do a lot of essential things without me paying attention…. so sometimes reflexively I start working on something, and by the time I notice enough to have anxiety or depression about it, I can delay with “let me finish this”….
/TLDR — turning off your brain is a fantastic skill, and against mood disorders they might be my most potent tool
Humm.. yeah, the way we try to trick ourselves is quite a thing.. I try to trick myself too, but, mostly out of depression and anxiety.
These days, I play with my greed string even if most time it ain’t true. Trying to get me out of bed to make some money, one way or another, even if most time it ain’t much. I think I got that from my bosses, which are extremely greedy. I can’t do a complete workday tho, only 4-5h per day.. so, I try to go in during the weekend too, to get some more hours done but, it’s pretty hard.
Wish I had some adhd I guess, it’s true that anxiety tries to force you into planning everything, which is a pain in the ass. And then when you get only half done, some depression comes beating you down cause you didn’t do enough. Rinse and repeat.
Somehow, I hope AI will save us from ourselves… might be a dumb hope but, remember, we try to fool ourselves constantly.. lol
