Obviously I have no idea what you situation is, and multiple issues can have similar symptoms. And also I'm not a professional. Last but not least, I might be reading too much from your comment, and write useless or over the top stuff. Having said that: - Consider not saying to yourself that you're lazy. It works the same way as saying to another person that they are lazy--usually nothing good comes out of that. In CBT it's called labelling, here's a random article about it: https://cogbtherapy.com/cbt-blog/cognitive-distortions-label... - an important thing here is that it's not just about avoiding certain words. It's more about reframing your thinking so that those label words are not your first or even second choices. - Apart from labelling yourself as lazy, I think you might be "should-ing" yourself in the foot by effectively saying to yourself: "I should/must not be lazy"--note this is already 2-in-1, should + labelling. A simple way to escape "shoulding" is to soften the language. Instead of "I should/must do X", say sth like: "it would be cool if I did X, but realistically I'm only able to do X/2, and it's still better than nothing". Another random article: https://www.therapynowsf.com/blog/should-statements-reframe-... - You could consider trying ADHD diagnosis again. From what I recall diagnosis in adults differs from diagnosis in children or adolescents, so this time it might as well turn out the other way. - ADHD or not, you could check https://www.adhdrewired.com/rethinking-adult-adhd-with-dr-ru... --dr Ramsay is a CBT practitioner that focuses on ADHD, but I bet the techniques would work for anyone to some extent. So even if you don't have ADHD, but only ADHD-like symptoms caused by something else, maybe you would find something there for yourself. He has a lot of free materials on: https://www.cbt4adhd.com/media/ EDIT: By the way, the other answer (very good, btw) mentions burnout, and the answer to it mentions anxiety. Those could also give ADHD-like symptoms. So you could research that angle as well. If you don't know where to start, you can check my comment history--I posted some comments on anxiety and depression recently, with some recommendations from my own experience. |
