In my heart of hearts, as an ADHDer and someone who was really dysregulated for a very long time and struggling and trying to figure out how to do stuff, it always felt like, do I really need to play games to like wash the dishes?
It just didn't feel congruent with like who I knew myself to be.
So this is kind of where more of the regulation work came in of what is another way?
I can get myself to be in action, do the things I want to do without having to play tricks on myself all the time.
So it can be a great band-aid approach.
And sometimes we need band-aids.
I got to get through the day, but it is not a good long-term approach, I don't think.
Taking a more regulated approach of can I get out of panic mode?
Am I really tense?
Am I feeling in freeze?
Am I mentally freaking out?
If so, can I calm everything down?
How could I move myself forward in that gentler way to have more sustainable momentum instead of this feeling of like I'm running down a hill or I'm stuck in quicksand?
