and let me know if any of the links don't work so i can update them!

I genuinely don't think I can fully put into words how much I absolutely despise having ADHD. Since 6pm to now I have literally been restlessly jumping between every app, every website, every hobby, trying to decide what to do and I haven't done a single one of those things.

I have so many things clay things I want to make, so many books downloaded on my kindle or sitting on my bookshelf, my guitar is collecting dust, my room has not been organised for months, there are SO many things I genuinely want to do and my brain won't let me do any of them.

And the more time passes, the more upset I get because I'm fighting overstimulation and disappointment. Everything is so overwhelming but it shouldn't be because these are small and simple things, they should be easy decisions to make, but my mind just doesn't work like that.

And then hours later I'm in the same spot either staring at random things on my desk, flicking through the dozens of tabs of half-watched videos or half-read mangas, having achieved nothing and feeling like I've wasted the day away... and then repeat everyday

I'm not saying I want to be normal because what the fuck is even normal but I just want to be able to keep up with life lmao. I want to be able to go out and socialise once a week or twice a week - not every two to three months. I want to start and finish things.

I just want to not find all the small simple things so fucking overwhelming. Why is it so difficult for me to go outside? To decide on a task? To speak to someone at work? To look for new opportunities? To see a friend? To do basic human everyday things? Why is everything just so much?
