What if tomorrow is just as hard as today? What if next week and next month you still have the same problems as you have right now?
Do you feel bad about everything you should be doing? Do those bad feelings mean you do even less?
Me too, pal. Me too.
Hi! My name is Elise. I’m autistic and I have ADHD, depression, anxiety, a defence spouse and a small child who eventually learned to sleep on his own. My executive functioning isn’t. But over the last few years I’ve developed a system and a mindset that works. I don’t mean that it helps me get everything done every single day. I mean that it helps me do what I actually can do and not get crippled by crushing self-loathing when I can’t do as much. I prepare better for the depressive episodes and recover more quickly afterward.
