Burnout and ADHD
anyone else struggling to fight the constant need to always being busy m when doing any task you are rushing and multiple tasking at the same time and “feel like being driven by a motor”, which often feels like nervous energy ? this is probably the hardest part of ADHD for me as it often turns into the same outcome = 2-3 days of pushing the body , unable to slow down , feeling restless etc and the it’s followed by 1-2 days of burnout , high anxiety , feeling overwhelmed etc? my low days even feel like I’m getting sick, heart palpitations etc which I know is the fight or flight response .
Besides keeping up an exercise routine, healthy sleeping habits and meditation what has worked for you?
unfortunately medication isnt on the table as it wrecked my sleep and appetite and I couldn’t continue with them
