  • Summary

  • 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.
