ADHD
Sometimes I get so overwhelmed at work, I can’t do anything. I literally can’t calm my mind and push through. Sometimes I think my ADHD is so bad, how much longer can I work. Coupled with anxiety and depression, it’s not easy. I’m not necessarily looking for advice, just a safe space to get my thoughts out. It’s hard having no one to talk to about any of this. We really do spend so much time suffering in silence. 🤍
Thank you. It can feel very overwhelming when you’re dealing with multiple issues at one time. I often don’t know where to begin. It’s hard to know where to start the conversation.
It's good to see you not suffer in silence. Instead you have shared here. Hope it helped atleast a bit. 7 cups is a safe space for dealing with such challenging times. Lot of listeners are here to hear your difficulties & support without judgement or advice. There is enough help. Take care & feel free to seek support
Thank you! I appreciate your response. 🙂
It is very hard to suffer in silence.

i read this article the other day and was thinking about how lonely I’ve felt throughout my life because of my ADHD but never realised why before (only figured out I have ADHD maybe 3 years ago now I’m in my 30s). I would use the exact same words as you’ve chosen. Overwhelming, anxious and depressing when I feel like I can’t live up to the expectations of others around me. Especially well meaning family that just don’t understand and don’t want to ☹️
But, that’s on bad days. Other days are good and I can feel proud of the work and efforts I’ve made to understand myself and how I operate and celebrate that and what I CAN accomplish and what is MY BEST. Even if it’s different from what others expect of me.
Sorry accidentally pressed post too early 😂
I love this community on 7 cups because I feel less alone. You are not suffering alone. And what you’re going through sucks big time. One day at a time. I hope you find what brings you peace and hope in the hard times 💜
