I’m so tired the caffeine no longer effects me. My ADHD issues are worse. It’s effecting work. I’m getting to work waiting to clock in and sleeping in the parking lot.

I get home and will be tired but by the time I get myself fed and everything cleaned up and the dog and cat cared for and in bed (skipping showers or washing my teeth or brushing my hair most nights) I can’t seem to fall asleep regardless of the exhaustion.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel but it’s two weeks away. And I used to work harder and longer hours. I worked in theatre and events and tech was some of the longest days for a week or two straight so I feel like I should be prepared for this. But apparently I’m out of practice or I’m no longer able to cope like I used to.

At this point whether it’s the ADHD or age making it harder no longer matters I just need tips for surviving until life lets up.

    I’ve been eating less because of a new medication, and found out I was almost insufficient on vitamin B12. Since taking a supplement I’ve had much more energy. Same with vitamin D but that takes longer to bring up.
