Does anyone have any tips for dealing with executive dysfunction and academic anxiety as a neurodivergent person (not diagnosed but heavily suspect autism and adhd)?
(TW: mental health, just in case)
I struggle so much with executive dysfunction atm and I have trouble managing food and sleep, much less a very rigorous uni workload. A few years ago, I think I barely managed to scrape by a proper burnout and have since then feared I have not been able to return to a (new) normal. As soon as stress hits, my anxiety spikes (especially about my ability to cope and do all the work I need to do) and my brain essentially sets the brakes aka executive dysfunction sets in. I get so in my head that my mental health temorarily tanks dramatically, almost reaching depths I only know from my most depressed times.
I fear I am not cut out for academics, at least not at the moment but I really want to finish this degree. The problem is that with my program, the workload cannot be spread out (which is bs if you ask me but well).
My routines are almost non-existant rn too I am afraid since I have not been able to figure out what works for me.
Any tips or advice is appreciated, longterm or short term!
random tip for anyone who deals with executive dysfunction surrounding accomplishing your goals: try visualizing how you’ll feel after achieving something and what you’ll be able to do, especially if it’s something you’ve been trying to accomplish for a while
like I’ve had a lot of trouble cleaning my room, but it’s really helped me to visualize getting to spam text my friends with how proud I am of myself and pictures of it
this isn’t a tip I’ve seen a lot of so I figured i’d share it, hope it helps someone!
here’s a tip for my girlies, gays, and geese that suffer from executive dysfunction:
if your executive dysfunction manifests like mine does, chances are, there’s one specific chore that makes a cannonball into a wood chipper sound like a vacation. for me, that chore is washing dishes.
this has been my least favorite chore to do ever since i was taught how to do it. the gross water and soggy food bits floating around were a sensory ick even with gloves, the smell was horrendous if the dishes had been sitting without being rinsed beforehand, and standing in front of the sink for a prolonged period was the eighth circle of hell for my adhd addled brain.
i’ve been slowly emerging from yet another depressive funk and my dirty dishes have been taunting me for two entire weeks. my issue is that i built up a big ball of dread about doing the dishes and have found every single excuse in the world to not get it over with, resulting in most of my bowls, plates, cups, and cutlery still being dirty.
what is my solution, you may ask? it’s simple: take the gunky dishes outside and spray off the stuck-on food with a water hose, then bring them inside to wash them with soap. that way, i don’t have to endure sensory hell and won’t have to worry abt my sink taking forever to drain afterwards. as of typing this, it’s half past midnight and i’m abt to hose off my dishes in my front yard

What’s the next action? What is the very next thing you need to do in order to move the item toward the intended outcome? Do you need to make a call? Write a draft? Research your options? You need to define the next concrete step you need to take in order to keep things progressing. If you don’t assign a specific action, the item will ... be an open loop for you. If you can’t complete the activity in one step, then it’s actually not an action, it’s a project and needs further planning.
