Yesterday DH was getting the table set for dinner and had a bit of a moan at me about a pile of picture frames I’ve had on the chairs/table for a few weeks. He’s basically just sick of seeing them just sitting there and having to move them around to use the table – fair point.
We’ve recently moved and I explained to him that I really wanted to get the pictures/frames up on the walls, but the idea of it was somehow a bit overwhelming. Like trying to decide what I want to go where, which pictures to use, which way to hang them. I use command strips so it’s not an issue of worrying about putting holes in the walls. More just the whole idea of how I actually want something to be is too much for my brain to cope with. I will do it at some point, I just don’t know when the moment will strike when I feel like that’s the job for me.
I’ve been told by a councillor/therapist that she thinks there’s a possibility I could have ADHD but that she was not qualified to assess/diagnose and this had played on my mind since.
I know one isolated thing like this is far from enough to just label myself like that, it’s just the first time I’ve been able to explain a situation like that in the moment to someone and why it feels like it’s too much to complete something really quite simple, so I was curios if this is something that people who have diagnosed ADHD would resonate with?
