Executive Dysfunction Days
Does anyone else with ADHD have some days where your executive dysfunction is worse than normal, and you end up barely doing anything and feeling like crap? I'm having one of those days, and I'm hoping I'm not alone in experiencing this.

Oh yeah, for sure. If I am able I sometimes even plan them, like I will just let my brain bounce around between 4 or 5 projects I have going or video games or whatever. Those days I try hard to reframe my goal to just work on something, not anything in particular, and it seems to help me not feel like crap about it. I hate how we ourselves are our own greatest critics sometimes, it’s really just not helpful, that’s why I try to trick myself into tiny accomplishments that way.
I think this explains the comorbidity that ADHD has with anxiety and depression. It's a pretty direct path from inability to meet expectations > excessive worry > sadness.
That is so true, I wish it was talked about more because I think it is something we all deal with at one time or another.
