Does anyone else with ADHD have some days where your executive dysfunction is worse than normal, and you end up barely doing anything and feeling like crap? I'm having one of those days, and I'm hoping I'm not alone in experiencing this.

I hate how we ourselves are our own greatest critics sometimes, it’s really just not helpful

I think this explains the comorbidity that ADHD has with anxiety and depression. It's a pretty direct path from inability to meet expectations > excessive worry > sadness.

That is so true, I wish it was talked about more because I think it is something we all deal with at one time or another.
