in a few weeks i will be increasing my hours to full time. it was my choice because i wanted to work in a different area and there will be an additional benfit too. i am just worried that i wont be able to keep up with life.

i have been working part time for the past 3 years, and the past year ive been in the same area. however i have been getting so understimulated since there is no one else around and its been hard to stay motivated. i think it has been making me feel stressed? this new section i will be moving too will definitely have a lot more background stimulation and i am honestly excited about the change. its also brand new, just constructed, so that is also exciting.

i am nearly working full time hours anyway, so i know it realistically won't be that much of a difference. but i am scared that the hours will make me feel more mentally drained. ADD already makes life so difficult and tiring.

idk this makes me feel so silly 😭

I have ADHD and work overtime a lot. Personally I don't mind. I'm actually more calm at work. This is what I have to do, and I'm going to do that. At home, almost everything is optional. Options are what stress me out because I can put it off. You'll be ok. Change can be scary but this sounds like a pretty small change, and a positive one at that.
