Life Without an Off Switch

ADHD, distractions, and GSD

Is anyone else with ADHD or anxiety having an especially hard time right now? It’s impossible to not be devastated by what’s happening, and I’ve been struggling.

When I’m anxious or stressed, I tend to dive into projects, and it’s gotten a little out of control lately. One minute I’m cleaning the water table, and then I’m power washing the patio, cushions, and garage floor. It’s hard when I have 3 little kids and nap time, and a husband who often works weekends, and it’s easier to stay busy. Work takes so much longer than usual, because again, I’ll start a blog post and then end up painting the garage.

The last few months have done a number on my mental health, and this week scared me a little bit.
