Amethyst, I'm not feeling somewhat unproductive. I'm "working" from home so don't need to get up at a certain time, so I've lost that structure of being forced to have a schedule. Instead of getting up at 7:30 or 8:00 I get up at 10, 11, 12, or even 1 pm. My already poor sleep habits are now a disaster.

Think everyone’s sleeping habits are off during these pandemic times tho so we’re not alone.

Thanks for that Amethyst. I am working from home and pretty much maintaining my same schedule. But starting to go stir crazy. Last night I indulged in feeling sorry for myself by eating a pint of ice cream. Paid for it with IBS at 2 am. Ugh.

It’s not been easy, but I am taking this time to sort my ADHD issues once and for all.

I was diagnosed with ADHD a couple of months ago and I’ve been trying to deal with it but circumstances were far from conducive (challenging even for my non-ADHD partner).

Ironically, l remember just wishing to have a little time to do what I knew I needed to do (from CBT and all sorts of good tips on CCHAD). Well, now I have the time (although I wish it didn’t have to be in such a dramatic way for everyone around the world!), but I am determined to make the most of it and get out of my rut.

It may involve making some hard choices and may change my life in many respects, but I owe to myself and my family. So I will try my hardest.

Good luck to all of you out there and thank you for sharing your experiences
