Too busy to function?
Hi ADHDers!
How are we all doing?
Have you ever been too busy to function? Like you have so much to do and can’t think of anything else until you get through your list of things to do?
And then you feel guilty for all of your unread messages and putting everyone on the back burner.
Sounds exhausting right? And it sucks
Well this has been my life for the next 2 weeks. And I’ve learned that there is never a perfect time.
Neglecting your self care, not doing things you enjoy or speaking to people that brighten up your day because your swamped at work or with life admin isn’t worth it.
Being busy and isolated is a bad combo. Like I’d rather be busy and have people to talk to so I’m not running myself mad.
✨We can let go for a moment.
✨We can take a time out.
✨Breathe. In and out. Repeat 3 times.
Ask for help and delegate where you can. I know we find it hard to and we don’t want to impose but we need the weight lifted off our shoulders. You can do it!
This was more of a note to self but for anyone else who feels swamped.
I hope your load gets lighter. Take care of yourself 🤗 🌺
oh my goodness that is so real 😳 this is definitely me and what you wrote really hits home. Just numb with so much to do
This hit hard. The way you described being “too busy to function” is exactly the trap I fall into—where everything feels urgent, and yet I’m frozen. The reminder that there’s never a perfect time and that self-care isn’t optional… I really needed that today. Thank you for writing this like a friend who gets it. 🙏
