Honestly it’s not good to feel so bad about so little. Just move on and do other stuff you can do and don’t just sit there feeling bad about not doing the little cleaning stuff. I feel like it’s easier to do the little tasks less often once they got a little bit bigger so the reward from the brain is actually worth the effort.
I guess i just mastered the shrug it off and say who cares technique lol yes i have a big pile of clean clothes on the floor. Who cares. I don’t have time for that i’m reading an amazing book rn!!
My partner is newly diagnosed at 40 and while on the surface it seems like he’s a just “shrug it off” guy, he’s not able to fully ignore it - there’s so much inner turmoil. He always feels bad for not doing XYZ and he’s never truly able to enjoy doing something else instead. He can be temporarily distracted by an enjoyable/relaxing activity, but he does care. He always cares. And he never feels like he deserves to enjoy anything when there’s so much to do at home/work/his life. It’s unbelievably distressing. ADHD is a spectrum. I’m so glad that you are able to shrug it off and enjoy other things, but that’s not the reality for all ADHD sufferers.

“Just move on”… Really?
You say this like no one ever considered this, and it’s merely a choice.
