Diagnosed a few years ago. Just applied for medication and in the queue waiting to be seen.
I'm just so fed up with my incapability to tidy up the house. The tasks are so tedious and never ending. I feel paralysed just thinking about it and therefore most of the evenings I feel ashamed that I haven't done enough to change it.
Piles of laundries - just more and more; cluttering with toys, things I can't decide to throw away, shoes that need to be cleaned before being put away, picnic cool bags that need to be cleaned before store away, beddings that require mighty force to change and then a few hours to wash and then dry before they can go back to wardrobe, the garden that needs a tidy up before winter properly sets in, and the list goes on and on.
My husband is also bad at housework - he literally "doesn't see" and never voluntarily help with tidy up and he outright declared he can't do laundry even if he doesn't mind do cooking sometimes. But I'm drowning by all the tasks. And my ADHD just make me anxious but without the courage to put time in to do the chunk of work knowing there's no end. I don't dare to ask any friends or even DS's friends over without being prepared to spend hours to tidy up beforehand.
So, I know this post has become a rant rather than my initial intent about ADHD. And I don't plan to divorce my husband to find someone who's willing to help to marry.
So my only hope is the medication one day when I get my turn to be seen... Would it make housework easier and less overwhelming? I just feel so ashamed but trapped at the same time...
