Newly dx with inattentive adhd
Hi,
I was dx with aspergers in 2009but have had issues that people advised me to ask about adhd as well.
Yesterday I was dx with inattentive adhd as well.
There are a couple of things I really struggle with
-
Hygiene - i dont know why, i know i should, but unless theres a compelling event its really difficult to attend to.
-
Exercise - there is nothing in me that wants to put myself through the discomfort of this. I dont know why.
-
Sleep -its difficult. So much so that i regularly self medicate with alcohol in order to not be awake until 4am . I dont know why.
There are other things.
But the above are what I am criticised about all the time by my mum.
Ihave always fallen back on i cannot be bothered. Because I have no answer.
It seems such simple things to do. But so hard to compel my self to complete regularly.
She tells me come on thats not an excuse, no one likes exercise and it will solve your sleep problem.
I am so frustrated by not doing this but find it sooood difficult to attend to.
Am I just lazy? Am I just incompetent?
I dont think so. I inow and realise the draw backs and benfits but still cannot get to it.
Anyone?
