another one of those days where I wake up feeling horrible because I have to Do Things today and it's going to be a Struggle and I am going to Let Myself Down
and then I take my ADHD meds. by the time I've finished my first cup of tea, I feel perfectly capable again. like doing the laundry and cleaning the bathroom are not, in fact, insurmountable obstacles but instead just mildly tedious tasks.
it wasn't until I started taking ADHD meds that I realised what laziness actually was.
laziness is when you know you're perfectly capable of doing a task but you can't be bothered!!
laziness is NOT "my entire brain starts up an agonising struggle process that causes tremendous anxiety and unhappiness the moment I even think about doing something that doesn't maintain a steady feed of dopamine"
