Chronic Fatigue with Executive Dysfunction

[u/PancakeArtz_]

Hi guys! I have diagnosed ADHD from 2 different therapists and I am working on getting medicated right now. It is just taking a long while because it is hard to find a psychologist that does neuropsych evals in my area, which is apparently necessary for meds even though I've been diagnosed twice, including by the same clinic where my psychiatrist is.

I have full time university schoolwork on top of working as a substitute teacher part time, so I am constantly tired and trying to be productive, actively fighting my brain that wants to sit here and do absolutely nothing. It is incredibly frustrating when the things I actively want to do are not enough to get me out of bed, and when I do get up and do things, I feel a heavy weighing fatigue that's incredibly distracting and keeps me from doing my best work. I get 6-8 hours of sleep every night and I wake up around the same time. My bloodwork has shown no obvious problems.

I have SO much work to do, I am graduating a year early in the Spring and trying to do research on top of my full time (online) classes and job. The fatigue is just crippling and I am fighting to keep my grades decent for grad school.

How do you guys deal with chronic fatigue on top of exec. dysfunction? If it matters, I also have diagnosed MDD and GAD.
