Don't worry, I discourage self diagnosis too.
>I suppose it could be something to explore with a therapist.... if I ever do see one.
It might be worth to bump that up in your priority list, given circumstances. You can also look into our adhd resources and see if the coping tricks they offer help completely regardless of whether you have it or not. I mean, if it works it works right?
>if that makes sense.
It does, and you have my heartfelt sympathy. Another thing you may wanna look up and try is body doubling, if things like commitment don't work.

>I got the courage to show up to work on Thursday and finally wrote an email to my supervisor to inform them of my situation
>I also managed to snatch a remote appointment next week with a psychiatrist in my hometown
I'm super duper proud of you! I look forward to updates, thank you so much for sticking around. You are doing great. Believe me, it is difficult, and that you are managing this well is admirable. We're rooting for you. I know I say this a lot in this thread but people forget that so many people are trying to stop rotting. Those like you that speak up and build momentum are an inspiration. Every last one of you.

>I wish I could be more.
Everyone does, about most things. I have made it my self-imposed general rule to reply to as many people as I productively can for example. And yet I often wish I could do more for each of you individually. Does that sound insane? Yes. Cause it kinda is. But that is not a quirk of me personally, that is just default human behavior, and your self expectations are no less silly than mine!
>Feels good to just talk.
A listening ear is so damn important. I'm glad to do what little I can.
