    Felt this in my chest…had a window of my life where things were so rough I was basically ordered by my therapist to take seek medical treatment for both, and even with treatment existing felt like a chore…couldn’t even will myself to look at memes when I woke up. Basically just laid in bed with my eyes closed for half the day for a while. Getting to the point where I could properly take care of myself again was very much a recovery process.

    I was incredibly lucky that I had just started a new job when that happened and was full remote for the first few months, so a lot of that time was just supposed to be spent passively learning.

    The ADHD/depression combo can be an insidiously detrimental co-morbidity, peeps. If there’s even a hint of that happening to you, ask for help. I had no clue that’s what was happening to me and was lucky that I was in therapy already when everything went down, because my doctor caught it right away.
