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.

/me waves from that place

It’s absolutely a thing. It was a game changer for me when I gave up fighting it and just accepted that “whelp, my brain’s just gonna brain today.” If you can, just try to give yourself what you need and slow down. It is what it is.

I also find something satisfying about doing a big methodical cleanup after I feel better from a slump, your milage may vary.

Yeah, I’ve managed to declutter a lot from doing just that, actually. I have a sock drawer that needs cleaning out after this one
