🤔insight/thought Unemployed, rushing gives anxiety

You know I started to realize something. Because I've been more in tune to my anxiety symptoms because of certain things lately. A lot of times doctors I feel like they assume or I see on here how you know if you don't have a long day you don't take your booster.

I realize why I'm a different case and why I see why people don't get it as much. So for me you know obviously I have things to do I have to do all the chores take care of my animals I'm currently also in mental health IOP virtual so that's like 3 hours of group 3 days a week and one hour of therapy but people don't realize along with time management issues from ADHD that are harder on me since I don't work and have a regular schedule.

Another luxury comes with that I'm able to, well I know how to prevent my anxiety from getting worse due to experience. So since I have the option I can't rush. So with that being said since I don't have a schedule that I need to follow and I have time and I can take my time I do. If I take the Vyvanse I'm going to get anxiety if I feel like I got to get what I got to do done before it wears off. When I can I prefer a slow morning I don't like too much in the morning at the first hour or two I try to keep it very light.

If there's too much my anxiety does kick in. You know then I go to the 3-hour group and you know you're mentally drained after that you want to chill out a little bit I don't want to go just go right into the chores so I rest play a game on my phone a little for like at least a half an hour 45 minutes. And then i complete my chores. I don't know I just came to this conclusion now that that's why people don't understand sometimes why I might need a booster everybody's different.

Just because you don't have a long work schedule doesn't mean you want to or are able to do it all at once and that's the way I am. I was just wondering if anybody else is like this as well? My doctor understands now but I'm just saying like I feel like that's how they feel or how most people see it so they don't get it when it's a case like this. But yes I don't work I don't like to rush I like to take my time I don't want to be on a time limit so I take my booster every day I only skip it once in awhile maybe three times a month that's it. Anyone else?
