I feel like this has been the story of my life for the past 4 years or so. The only time I’m productive is either on one of my workdays when I’m at work or (as mentioned above) when I’m lucky. Otherwise, I’ll be lucky to have breakfast by noon on my days off and to get anything more done than my laundry and even just getting dressed.
Here’s the weird thing, however. Once every blue moon, maybe once every 4-6 months, I’ll just randomly be “supercharged” and I’ll be able to annihilate most of my to-do list. If only I was like this every day, ugh.
Before anyone asks, I am not formally diagnosed as neurodivergent, but I have highly suspected myself as having some form of ADHD (and possibly autism as well) for the past few years now. Not sure if bringing this up is relevant here.

my ADHD every few years presents in the EXSCT sam way. Manic months and slug months.
I’m like this and I have adhd. I’m currently indulging in a really good week after a long time of rotting
Yeah, i feel like i trained myself to only be able to get things done when the pressure is insanely high, and then i’m burnt out for the next couple months.
Yes lmao. I’ve gotten better but it’s taken me YEARS and I’m nowhere near as good as I’d like yet
yeah joining with the other ADHDers to welcome you to the club you’ve been in your whole life without knowing it
Yep, and today was a really productive day so I’ve also written a todo list for tomorrow… which no doubt I’ll wake up and today’s motivation will have gone awol lol
Also undiagnosed but suspicious haha
yes me absolutely. i suddenly reorganized a bunch of my clothes in my closet yesterday which i have never done
i have like one day every couple months where i have a ton of energy to clean and organize my room/home it’s so weird
Functional freeze is a real thing
This is the nature of my existence. It comes with buckets of guilt over being such a slacker.
Feel the same way
