ADHD + Chronic Burnout = eventual Hell?
Hi, everyone! I wanted to ask if anyone could share any extreme burnout stories and how those ended? I have been diagnosed for 3 years, medicated for as long, and the slow accumulation of burnout from a job coupled with trying and failing to juggle studying I've started noticing that making myself do literally anything is next to impossible without medication and energy drinks, and slowly but surely even a strong combination of both stopped doing anything for me. It turned into a bad loop of constant low energy state blocking engagement leading to revenge proctastination bedtime that made both hobbies and work impossible until I accidentally injured myself in my rush to go to work, and couldn't even enjoy my day off because of the lack of focus and energy.
Apparently Joy Time is mandatory to have ADHD brains in burnout function at all, or they turn into toddlers and throw themselves on the ground? Is that the lessons other people ADHD people have learned from burnout? Or am I still missing something?
