Depression sucks. Anxiety sucks. ADHD sucks.

My mind, my brain, my intelligence is one of my biggest strengths and then it turns around and cripples me and I spend days not being able to move forward. I don’t leave my house. I cancel appointments. I procrastinate the tasks that NEED to be done (bookwork for my consulting practice) and work on mindless projects (like sorting 10 gallons of legos).

And it’s a vicious cycle-because I feel like a failure. I can’t finish anything. I’m 40 years old – shouldn’t I be a “grown up” by now?

“Head down, move forward.” But I’m stuck. My fabulous imagination pictures a turtle stuck in the mud.
