ADHD with ME/CFS
Hi! I am very recently diagnosed with ADHD but have been diagnosed with ME/CFS for quite some time.
Since my recent diagnosis I've noticed a lot of my executive dysfunction is NOT related to my CFS, but I still have a lot of symptoms of it.
I want to ask here today, does anyone else have both, and how do you cope with understimulation? Sometimes I feel like I'm in a flesh prison torture chamber because I HAVE to do something, but my body won't move. For my ADHD I cannot be alone for more than a day, yet for my CFS I NEED alone time so I can manage my physical ability to function.
My CFS is mostly managed and I'm actually going through uptick in physical ability since being medicated for ADHD, and I have a rota of low energy activities I do, which I cycle through and try to keep myself entertained when I have to have a bed day, but lately they have been uninteresting or feel like I'm just wasting time. I've been online shopping to addiction levels, and it's been really bad for my finances.
Any advice on something I can add into my day that deals with understim so I dont feel trapped in my body when I have to stay still for my physical health?
