S2 E8 - Rest guilt: why relaxing feels wrong.
from Glitchy Switch: What ADHD feels like to an adult. · host Martin Gale
In this episode we're exploring the strange phenomenon of feeling a sense of guilt, or a compulsion to do something, even when all common sense and our feelings are telling us we need to relax. There's a mix of cultural norms as well as ADHD traits at play here, which can make it even tougher to finally allow oneself to recharge. In this episode: How the corporate world making a virtue out of busyness compounds the ADHD sense of "otherness". How relaxation can come from activities that are just sufficiently occupying yet relaxing at the same time. Why rest is even less rewarding for ADHD people. How an empty diary can induce anxiety. When even very busy periods still feel like slacking.
