You've earned your celery, so just lettuce sit back and take it cheesy. Tomato, you don't even need dressing over your bacon bits. Just sit down in the crouton and chill like a cucumber without a carrots in the world.

    I have friends that went through the phase of thinking they had ADHD. Nope. Just sleep deprivation and mental exhaustion. Something incredibly common these days which massively impacts focus, mood, concentration, motivation, frustration, etc. Getting back into physical exercise and correcting sleeping patterns was all they needed to return to how they remembered themselves.

    I think adults between 25–45 are especially prone to this. Everyone else is making jokes about having shit sleep and just grinding through, it becomes normalised and people forget that each mind and body has an optimal min/max sleep period—we all differ.

    Are you sure that's not executive dysfunction. Though?

    I have the same thing, and it's definitively because of that for me

    Sure, we can put whatever labels we want on it. But unless they come with useful counter measures, they're kinda useless. I think a lot of us are just lazy at heart. It's hard to get started on stuff and especially as we get older, we get exhausted sometimes just thinking about starting something.

    Yes there very much are useful counter measures for executive dysfunction and healthier ways to look at it. And one core part is acknowledging that it's not laziness

    I won't tell you what to do, of course, just make sure you're not putting yourself in a self-defeating thought pattern

    But also, as you said yourself, getting exhausted. That's not laziness, that's exhaustion.

    Also we are living in a completely fucked up materialist society where we are nothing but consumer cogs in a system that is devoid of any real purpose and direction and we are simply eking out our daily lives waiting to die.

    There's also that.

    You have been visited by the Radish of Rest. You will sleep clean past your alarm tomorrow morning.

    The problem is never me. It's always external!

    But, if I rest, who will do the cleaning that I can barely complete

    you, later, when you have the energy to do it right

    also this is why it's important to minimize the amount of work you have to do in the first place, put stuff away into closets and whatnot so they're not in the way when you need to clean the house, make sure furniture is easy to move so cleaning isn't annoying, etc..

    If a man runs in front of a car, he gets tired. If he runs behind it, he gets exhausted.
