Ah, what is it that I decided to do?

Do you want me to go through the basics? About what ADHD is, the history of its discovery and its resurgence in the 21st century? Chances are you already know more about it than me and you happen to just land on this article because you wanted to find out more about what is ADHD really?

Living with ADHD

I feel drained out. I have too much to do but I don’t want to start. I have too many open projects but I don’t know which one to pick up first. I am slowly disconnecting from society. I am slowly locking myself into my room for extended hours. I feel guilty all the time and I don’t know why. I feel others are way better than me. I can’t look at myself in the mirror, I have difficulty in focusing on tasks. I just feel like a loser in life.

Open projects that I have right now, in no particular order, because I also can’t seem to prioritize:

  • An Email marketing exam I had applied for and the test is due next month, but I haven’t started preparing for it.
  • Cleaning my desk and desktop from unwanted and no longer important items
  • A google analytics course
  • A harmonium (bought the advanced one) by mistake and not practising it
  • An adult coloring book left unattended.
  • 8532 ebooks that I have downloaded but not read

In the end, I am just very dishearted right now.
