Ugh.

Ugh. I hate the absolute exhaustion I experience as an ADHD person when I have a "productive" day at work.
Today has felt interminable, & I still have an hour & a half to go. Worse: it's only Tuesday.
Work steals all of the focus and energy I can muster up. When I'm productive, I get to the end of the day & I have nothing left. Frequently I'm even in fairly severe physical pain from the way my muscles tense up when I am attempting to keep myself working.

Today has just been HELL even though none of the tasks I had to do were particularly onerous.
It's not the tasks, it's the effort it takes to make myself work like this.
I tell friends how stressed my job makes me, & they are always like "why don't you get another job?" But the problem isn't THIS job. The problem would be the same at any job. The problem is that working like this is nearly impossible with my disability, but I have to make myself do it.

All I did today was basic tasks that individually are not difficult, but I still am worn out, stressed, & miserable.
ADHD is a much bigger disability than most people understand.
My whole life feels like a constant, exhausting struggle. Everything is so goddamn hard.
