It is literally impossible to explain ADHD task avoidance to people who don't experience it, I think.

It has to sound absolutely insane to just sit around, filled with dread and anxiety, not doing a small thing you "could do any time" that really needs to get done. And to just continue that way for hours, days, weeks, months, even fucking years.

Like, who lives that way? How can anyone live that way? (I live that way, but I don't know how I survive)

My day to day is a constant struggle to do at least the bare minimum to get through life. I don't understand it. I don't care for it. But there it is. I survive. I do my best. And I try not to hold myself to standards set by people who don't deal with the same shit I do.

@artemis

it's literally "i could do more but taking care of myself took up the time" a lot of the time.
