I find this kind of truth so beautiful. Waiting for the inspiration to clean, persevering and giving yourself grace through the process, and overcoming minor inconveniences. Dang, is cleaning the kitchen preparing us for life? lol! This, to me, is a beautiful description of what self-love actually looks like on a day-to-day basis.
@@abetweene thank you girl! Girl I understand that all too well. The journey to grace. Sometimes it feels like the free things in life are the most difficult to fully receive at times lol. Yet, you are doing your best and that’s what matters. I hope you have a great day!
@@abetweene one more thing sis, please forgive me in advance because I never comment this much ever 😂 but when God tells me to tell someone something I have to because I know it’s bigger than me. I feel this so strong, this video could literally be made into a short film and submitted for an Oscar. Im telling you that’s how much your video impacted me. I am so excited for what’s in store for your life 🤍
This is so real and I appreciated seeing so much of myself in it. I also think we don't often see excellence (the quality of your videos, your attention to detail) paired with ADHD, so it's nice to see that duality represented. :- )
that’s very refreshing & somewhat surprising to hear as Ive only noticed more & more lacking in consistency and what I would consider a downgrade in my quality so thank u for that!
ariane, you are too real for this 🥺💖 i appreciate you showing just how frustrating it can be to clean w/ adhd. losing steam halfway thru is a struggle. i love that you have your systems & mental lists, for me it’s notion lol. sending love, you’re doing phenomenal!
Please do more of these! My boyfriend has adhd and sometimes it's hard for me too understand why he can't do some basic stuff for cleaning. This gives me so much perspective! Thank you!
Please keep doing more of these!! I relate to this a lot. This past Sunday I had a lot more "cell phone breaks" than usual. Thank you for sharing. It is very motivating.
that must be really frustrating. the “extra” expenses are definitely my least fav part. i always get the casetify cases with the bumper. would highly recommend if youre in the market for one
First time I"ve seen an ADHD cleaning video and as a fellow ADHDer I"m so here for it! Thank you! I never would have guessed that you are because your space is extremely well put together and intentional (complete opposite of mine). But knowing the you are too is giving me hope, making your channel all the more inspirational
It’s crazy to realize how things like compartmentalization and different organizing techniques for people with ADHD are so similar across the board. I didn’t have many friends with ADHD growing up, I didn’t even realize I had it. I thought the way I did things was so different and wondered why it felt so difficult and why I’d drop things midway and it just makes me feel better to know I’m not alone!
Wish. Major moment happening here. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for removing the embarrassment and stigma surrounding this and also giving more hole to those suffering the diagnosis. More PLEASE! oh, and... Learning the psychology /cognitive theory behind ADHD has helped not associate natural biology with my worth. We got this!
Content creators and "influencers" get so much hate online. People resent them for "not having a real job" but after finding your channel I genuinely think, "Man, I hope she can make a living just off of this content because she seems like such a nice person."
For the corners of the sink, try using the baking soda but with a cloth wrapped around a chopstick! That's what I do and it helps me get into the corner and I just rotate and spin the chopstick to drill in the baking soda lol
9:57 this. Switching chores as you clean may seem chaotic to non neurodivergent, but it’s how we stay productive by maintaining interest. Forcing a system on us or being told we got to do things a certain way just takes even longer because our brain doesn’t comprehend the “why.” I’m still trying to find my system, but I’ve learned to accept that I’ll take longer than most people to do things and take comfort that the task will be done. Hopefully it’ll become quicker as I find what’s right for me.
This video made me feel so seen. I also have a chaotic cleaning routine. I have trouble focusing on one task at once. Not officially diagnosed or anything for me but the struggle is real!
This is exactly how I think. It's so easy to get overwhelmed. I am trying to make sure I focus on one task at a time. Hopefully it will eventually get easier. Thanks for another terrific video.
Thank you for this video my life is a mess sometimes and I get down on myself and it gets worse, I use bins too, and I get distracted too, and it's all just part of the process!! Thanks again for this video I really admire you!
hey Ariane, you know, i do the same thing where i rinse my gloves off tons of times while washing dishes. i think i do it bc if i don’t, the soap from my gloves transfers back onto the glass, so might as well rinse both. i love you. thank you so much for all the work/effort you put into your channel and videos. i think months (if not years) ago i asked for a video of you washing dishes and here we are 🙌🏾 i think a great video would be what cookware you suggest for those just starting out (young adults/newlyweds/college etc). thanks for sharing yourself with us ❤
Thank you for your transparency and bravery. This video brought me to tears. It’s so hard to clean with ADHD I always get distracted or I find something else to do and come back to what I was originally doing.
This video is sooo me!!! And hilarious at the same time!!! It’s so refreshing to see the real ness !!! When keeping it real goes right! Thank you boo!!
Really appreciated this video. I have started to slowly talk about my ADHD on my channel but I haven't named my condition in videos yet as I am still coming to terms with my diagnosis. I hope to one day be as vulnerable as you to make content that can help others who need to see this kind of content.
i know youtuber talk a lot about lighting change and background sounds and honestly the light change didnt bother me at all. Your place is beautiful in all the light changes. so please don't let the lighting not make you shoot a vid. your vids are always amazing. x
I think you’re brilliant. This video illustrating how the ADHD brain works is absolutely perfect. I love how you wash dishes, so thorough it gives me peace. Thank you.
A inspirational & motivational video Ariane because I need the motivation to clean because I think it's the most boring job that has to be done ( we must waste a lot of our time throughout our lives cleaning since it's a repetitive job) love 🥰 the video and love 💕Ariane.
This made me a new subscriber. I also have ADHD, and this has given me so much hope and tips to help with my own self care. This is beautiful to see the duality and the process of giving yourself grace through it. Thank you, this has helped more then you know!
I recently noticed the same thing myself when it comes to wasting time doing the dishes washing off my gloves so often. I do it to rinse off the suds so I don’t have to rinse the dish again if some drips from my gloves. I invested in one of those sink grates by finding one that would fit mine on Amazon. I set aside large dishes for the end and am able to scrub all the small ones at once, set them on the grate away from the water and then collectively rinse them. I can even get a head start on rinsing all the silverware by putting them in a cup that needs to be rinsed anyways. It’s saved me so much time and I don’t dread doing the dishes or causing dishes anymore. Definitely helping me have a healthier relationship with food because of it too! Hope this helps!
I love these type of cleaning/straighten up videos! I feel less alone seeing someone else's thought process when tackling their space, my mind has a million thoughts a minute 😂😂😂, I'lll go to make coffee and end up reorganize the utensil drawer (because in that moment in no longer makes sense)😂!
I had no idea you have adhd 😮 I was just watching one of your shorts and thought: „she must be so organized and probably has amazing habits and routines.“ I was diagnosed at 29 and now trying to figure out how I can manage it. Thank you for opening up! I would love a video with a compilation of the most helpful things, habits etc. that helped with your adhd ❤
There is something about 29 and the “running out of time” phenomenon because, same!😂 I do a weekly hour-long, silent Zoom call with a friend just to get some work done. Wishing you all the executive function.
Thanks, Love! I'll bookmark this and come back to it as I think I'm going to hire a professional to deep clean. I need help with the reset, but I'm hopeful I can maintain. XOXO💖
I fill a little bowl with hot water and detergent, wash everything and put everything washed in the sink, only after I’ve washed everything I rinse. I feel like that I use less water, it’s just a suggestion for anyone that wants to give it a try. By the way the gloves are really pretty
Oh my, yes! When I am already stressed, overwhelmed, etc. there could be the smallest inconvinience and I am either shutting down or crying. I really try to be more gentle to myself, allow those feelings of frustration? anger? I don`t really know but I try to allow them, give myself the time or maybe even see if I need something else before I can continue with the task. Thank you for being open about it :)!
This video made me laugh, say "same" so many times and finally hella frustrated and pissed. Im super hard on myself for not being able to finish things in 1 sit, so seeing more people like me managing to handle life in our own way makes me feel not so alone
Ok so this is me- a fellow Gemini, perfectionist which almost naturally makes me a procrastinator and after watching this, I'm almost certain I have ADHD. This is my exact struggle. This was so satisfying and enlightening.
So I feel like I just get lazy but maybe my mind is sabotaging me.... Either way, I find it helpful to set a 15 min timer for a space to clean/organize and so much more gets done! I can def focus for 15 mins . Maybe that can be useful to you or others out there :)
this is too real haha i'm laughing and cringing at how much i relate and that I'm also procrastinating watching your video rather than doing my cleaning 😅
You could try doing kintsugi (Japanese art form of taking broken pottery and using gold to glue them together) to fix your plate! There are kits on Amazon :)
This video is everything I was looking for! Instant sub. I got ADHD too and it's been ADHDing hard for recently. Tryna to put my off-day to good use and set my space to rights today. Ty!
GIRL, that is literally me cleaning my apartment. I get distracted all the time!!!!! Its so frustrating... I had to laugh because everything you did described is literally100% my thought process. Thanks for sharing! ❤
I found out I may have ADHD from my sister who’s a psychology major 😭 I asked her if coffee made her sleepy like me and she told me why it did and I was mindblown
you are just proving to me that I have wayyy too much stuff because if my space looked like yours does b4 you cleaned I would be living a great life rn loll
Going to try your bin technique. Usually when trying to put something away, I end up working in a new area instead of finishing the original room I was starting out in.
Thank you! I have so much cleaning to do today and tomorrow and seeing my adhd struggles reflected here while I get started is so helpful for reducing the overwhelm! Like it's okay, it'll get done, one step at a time. I may also need some "supervision" from a friend later when I tackle some of the clutter that I can't figure out what to do with (is it trash? Can i donate it somewhere? Should I keep it and create a home for it somewhere? - it's so easy to shut down and put everything in a box and hide it in the closet 😬😆)
Ugh, and the broken dish: yeah I got a brand new, not cheap, handmade terracotta planter. It broke the day after I got it. Been there. One other thing: I know those mops are sold for hardwood and engineered wood floors, but they are really really bad for the wood. The problem is the steam. At around 26:03 it kinda looks like I can see where the moisture has been absorbed along the edges of the wood in some areas, there's that faint line of darker wood? If you're a tenant this probably doesn't matter. But if you own your place I'd consider switching to using a slightly damp microfibre mop that isn't pushing steam deep into your floorboards to avoid warping/cupping damage in the future. ❤
no worries, this mop doesnt produce steam. its just a wet vac so it immediately removes the water thats distributed and the floors dry within 45-60 seconds. The damage at 26:03 was actually pre-existing before i moved in.
I also moved this summer, just a week ago! I was in my last place for 8 years, so I’m feeling very discombobulated. The amount of art i have is insane, I don’t even know what to do with it all! Can you do a decorating planning video? Congrats on the move!
I really appreciate your showing just.how.many.towels you go through in your process! So many don't and I wonder are you using that same microfiber cloth you started with? no rinsing? what the.
thanks! there are so many on youtube that would do it so much more justice than i ever could. they provide side by side comparisons to with similar products and i found them useful so would highly recommend.
Thanks for the relatable video. I wonder why the sun changing light bothers you so much ? That you count down the light changing . To me that was more triggering then the sun moving.
since it’s a behind the scenes format, i included the countdown to emphasize how frequent lighting changes happen as an added insight. i thought it may bring more understanding to why my usual content is edited the way it is. i think it bothers me so much because its a cue that I have to adjust my camera settings for consistent footage (meaning less work in post production) thus interrupting my work flow. and because it takes so much time & effort to even get started, thats not only frustrating but detrimental because finally reaching a state of focus is fleeting. distractions of any kind with an attention disorder means if i lose inertia, i lose all motivation to continue and quit involuntarily. What im often left with is all effort but no results, and that vicious cycle is both physically and mentally taxing.
So good, thank you! Another thing that sometimes helps is a 5 minute timer and then forcing myself to go to the next thing. I can't get bored in 5 minutes right...? Ha. Also: What dish gloves are those? I tried going on the kitchen section of the website and it wasn't there. It also wasn't in the blog posts.
I am the parent of a adult child who approaches tasks in this manner. This is how he cleans. It takes patience to deal with as his mom we get through it .
I do not have a dishwasher, so I hand wash and dry. Actually, I prefer this because stuff comes out of the dishwasher needing to be rewashed. But maybe that's just me lolol Btw, salt makes an excellent scrubber for crusty dishes, as well. Love your floor mop - I need one. And a housekeeper 🤣
Love this voice over 😍 I find my dishwasher saved me more money on the water bill cuz me and hubby water too much water doing them by hand 😩. Btw Who’s the singer at about 7:30 ?
thanks! sorry, I browse/use so many tracks, I don’t know the artists by heart but if you have Shazam app on your phone it’ll find any song by listening to a short sample.
what ive heard (from the very little research that i did, lol) is it may be due to an amino acid that purportedly increases focus & reduces stress/anxiety
yw! oh, and to answer your question as far as a recipe, I generally go for a matcha latte with oat milk & hint of chai or matcha latte with pistachio milk.
8:13 omg too real! I also wash my gloves off before the dish, but mainly so i don't get stuck in a loop of rinsing off dish, soapy glove transfers suds to dish, rinse dish again, soap gets on dish etc..
yes, it is induction and id say it is indeed a bit easier. I didnt have many splatters when using electric but since the heating mechanisms differ food tends not to really stick on the induction because it doesnt burn & cake on
This is the realest representation of how cleaning is for adhd, I was doing laundry and instead I deep cleaned the bathroom when I took the dirty towels out 😂
I hade adhd…well ADD I don’t care what they say I’m never hyper lol. I use a bag to put all items that belong in different places but I forget to empty it. I like the idea of grouping by zones. I’ll try that. Hopefully I don’t let ut get crazy again smh. I do have a cleaning service, they come every 2 weeks but the in between weeks are ridiculous. N meds aren’t working. I’ll keep watching for more tips.
I also set a timer for 20-25, my sweet spot, so I can focus. Then I take a 10 minute break. I set the timer on my stove instead of my phone, or I’ll ignore it. The stove forces me to get up and continue cleaning lol
I had to start and stop this video several times due to me crying because omg it’s not just me!!! Thank God I’m not alone. 😢 I was diagnosed with ADHD 2 years ago(I’m 35) and although it has made so many things clearer and I have a better understanding of how I function now; I still struggle cleaning and feeling over whelmed. I use a similar system with baskets but still find myself upset when something doesn’t necessarily have a “home” and have to catch myself from trying to reorganize while still cleaning. 🤦🏾♀️ I’m just happy to know I’m not the only one who takes 3 hours to clean their kitchen. 😂

great analogy! that actually made me feel better about the experience since i struggle with the “grace” part.
@@abetweene thank you girl! Girl I understand that all too well. The journey to grace. Sometimes it feels like the free things in life are the most difficult to fully receive at times lol. Yet, you are doing your best and that’s what matters. I hope you have a great day!

youre too kind 🥹
This is so real and I appreciated seeing so much of myself in it. I also think we don't often see excellence (the quality of your videos, your attention to detail) paired with ADHD, so it's nice to see that duality represented. :- )
that’s very refreshing & somewhat surprising to hear as Ive only noticed more & more lacking in consistency and what I would consider a downgrade in my quality so thank u for that!
@@abetweene no please don't think that. Your editing style ages like fine wine. I'm learning from you!

thank u love! the struggle is real but im learning & hoping to make some significant strides
Please do more of these! My boyfriend has adhd and sometimes it's hard for me too understand why he can't do some basic stuff for cleaning. This gives me so much perspective! Thank you!
thank u for taking the time to learn & empathize with him instead of judge 💕
Please keep doing more of these!! I relate to this a lot. This past Sunday I had a lot more "cell phone breaks" than usual. Thank you for sharing. It is very motivating.
that must be really frustrating. the “extra” expenses are definitely my least fav part. i always get the casetify cases with the bumper. would highly recommend if youre in the market for one
@@abetweene I think she meant “breaks” as in interruptions of her tasks not the phone physically “breaking”😂😂
😂😂😂 omg i didnt even consider that?! thanks
@abetweene I wasnt going to say anything, but i did mean interruptions lol. I was just happy you replied ☺️ 😊 🙂
😅 my brain is definitely broken. always feel free to correct me!

This inspired me to clean my bathroom which had been ROTTING for almost 2 months at this point. Thank you.
youre welcome
I’m a clean freak and watching this makes me believe in humanity. Thanks, queen 💗
Wow, this is so relatable. This weekend, I had nothing but cellphone breaks. I'm like, why am I not capable of doing this.
your now the second person to mention frequently breaking their phone so now im convinced i must be dodging a bullet with my cases.

The coffee thing is so true. I'm looking now to get evaluated for ADHD because I've learned, at 30 years old, that I exhibit a lot of symptoms.
if u decide to, id love to hear your experience
Thanks so much for sharing this video, I absolutely loved it🥹
The accuracy of what it’s like to have ADHD sis so real and this is also why my cleaning lady is the real MVP of my life 😂
Man everything else sometimes be cool but dishes and stuff on the counter overwhelms me the most 😭resonate with this for sure
Watching this while I clean my house is definitely helpful thanks for making this real video to show me some inspiration!
my pleasure!
So true and yet you just keep going and pausing and pivoting. Great day!!!
thank you so much. this is so real!

Oooooo girl! Lol I appreciate the “Realness” in the video. It’s stressed me out but I understood at the same time lol ❤❤❤
I admire you and the beautiful content you create. It is comforting to discover you have ADHD just like me.🤗
I found out I may have ADHD from my sister who’s a psychology major 😭 I asked her if coffee made her sleepy like me and she told me why it did and I was mindblown
same 🤯 i was so clueless why everyone depended on coffee so much to the point of addiction, when it did “nothing”
I actually kinda like the light changes lol it's relaxing almost
Ommmggggg this is literally my head when cleaning organizing😂🥴🤦🏾♀️. Thanks for sharing this! 💛
15:02 the fact that I can relate to this so much just makes me crack up! 😂
I can completely relate..thanks for sharing
This really helped me today. Thank you
youre welcome. hope ur day feels better
Ugh this is helpful. I thought it was only me who had ADHD and hated working up the motivation to clean dirty things
you are just proving to me that I have wayyy too much stuff because if my space looked like yours does b4 you cleaned I would be living a great life rn loll
Lol, this was only the beginning 😅 I dont think I have the courage to share what the worst of it looks like.
Going to try your bin technique. Usually when trying to put something away, I end up working in a new area instead of finishing the original room I was starting out in.
my problem exactly, lol. hope this tool helps
Need more of these videos!
Thank you! I have so much cleaning to do today and tomorrow and seeing my adhd struggles reflected here while I get started is so helpful for reducing the overwhelm! Like it's okay, it'll get done, one step at a time.
I may also need some "supervision" from a friend later when I tackle some of the clutter that I can't figure out what to do with (is it trash? Can i donate it somewhere? Should I keep it and create a home for it somewhere? - it's so easy to shut down and put everything in a box and hide it in the closet 😬😆)
yes you will!
thats legit the hardest part! the decision fatigue is crippling, so delegating, definitely a great idea when decluttering 👍
Ugh, and the broken dish: yeah I got a brand new, not cheap, handmade terracotta planter. It broke the day after I got it. Been there.
One other thing: I know those mops are sold for hardwood and engineered wood floors, but they are really really bad for the wood. The problem is the steam. At around 26:03 it kinda looks like I can see where the moisture has been absorbed along the edges of the wood in some areas, there's that faint line of darker wood?
If you're a tenant this probably doesn't matter. But if you own your place I'd consider switching to using a slightly damp microfibre mop that isn't pushing steam deep into your floorboards to avoid warping/cupping damage in the future. ❤
no worries, this mop doesnt produce steam. its just a wet vac so it immediately removes the water thats distributed and the floors dry within 45-60 seconds.
The damage at 26:03 was actually pre-existing before i moved in.
I also moved this summer, just a week ago! I was in my last place for 8 years, so I’m feeling very discombobulated. The amount of art i have is insane, I don’t even know what to do with it all! Can you do a decorating planning video? Congrats on the move!
Sure i can! Hope you get settled soon 💕
@@abetweene yay!! Tysm and same to you! 🪄📦
😭 how do you know that I needed this
Came here from a short on sugar wax. RUclips recommendations actually being useful for once.
Happy to have found you. :)
lol, i love when the algorithm be algorithming😅
So real. ❤
I really appreciate your showing just.how.many.towels you go through in your process! So many don't and I wonder are you using that same microfiber cloth you started with? no rinsing? what the.
lol
Whew somebody that understands me 😩😩😩
Love your videos and items, all of them. Can we have a review of your wet vacuum cleaner please
thanks! there are so many on youtube that would do it so much more justice than i ever could. they provide side by side comparisons to with similar products and i found them useful so would highly recommend.
Thank you for this.
Thanks for the relatable video. I wonder why the sun changing light bothers you so much ? That you count down the light changing . To me that was more triggering then the sun moving.
since it’s a behind the scenes format, i included the countdown to emphasize how frequent lighting changes happen as an added insight. i thought it may bring more understanding to why my usual content is edited the way it is.
i think it bothers me so much because its a cue that I have to adjust my camera settings for consistent footage (meaning less work in post production) thus interrupting my work flow. and because it takes so much time & effort to even get started, thats not only frustrating but detrimental because finally reaching a state of focus is fleeting. distractions of any kind with an attention disorder means if i lose inertia, i lose all motivation to continue and quit involuntarily. What im often left with is all effort but no results, and that vicious cycle is both physically and mentally taxing.
So good, thank you! Another thing that sometimes helps is a 5 minute timer and then forcing myself to go to the next thing. I can't get bored in 5 minutes right...? Ha.
Also:
What dish gloves are those? I tried going on the kitchen section of the website and it wasn't there. It also wasn't in the blog posts.
i can get bored in 5 seconds. it’s impressive, lol.
looks like the color may be sold out but these are the gloves 😉amzn.to/40vSQpC
@@abetweene Thanks!
I am the parent of a adult child who approaches tasks in this manner. This is how he cleans. It takes patience to deal with as his mom we get through it .
he appreciates your patience 💕
I do not have a dishwasher, so I hand wash and dry. Actually, I prefer this because stuff comes out of the dishwasher needing to be rewashed. But maybe that's just me lolol Btw, salt makes an excellent scrubber for crusty dishes, as well. Love your floor mop - I need one. And a housekeeper 🤣
I would love to be that person. I was poking fun at myself like who does it? cause how can someone be that sufficient 😅 im jealous
I keep a spray bottle w vinagre and dish soap to spray down dishes when I know I won’t do them for a while
Love this voice over 😍 I find my dishwasher saved me more money on the water bill cuz me and hubby water too much water doing them by hand 😩.
Btw Who’s the singer at about 7:30 ?
thanks! sorry, I browse/use so many tracks, I don’t know the artists by heart but if you have Shazam app on your phone it’ll find any song by listening to a short sample.
Would love to see more insight into your systems and lists etc…
How does matcha help you/recipe?
what ive heard (from the very little research that i did, lol) is it may be due to an amino acid that purportedly increases focus & reduces stress/anxiety
@@abetweene cool, I’m going to look into this. Thanks ☺️
yw! oh, and to answer your question as far as a recipe, I generally go for a matcha latte with oat milk & hint of chai or matcha latte with pistachio milk.
@@abetweene I’ll have to try this thanks! 🥰
yw
8:13 omg too real! I also wash my gloves off before the dish, but mainly so i don't get stuck in a loop of rinsing off dish, soapy glove transfers suds to dish, rinse dish again, soap gets on dish etc..
lol, exactly!
Oh I want to ask as well: is that an induction stove? Do you find it genuinely easier to keep clean than a regular flat electric stove?
yes, it is induction and id say it is indeed a bit easier. I didnt have many splatters when using electric but since the heating mechanisms differ food tends not to really stick on the induction because it doesnt burn & cake on
This is the realest representation of how cleaning is for adhd, I was doing laundry and instead I deep cleaned the bathroom when I took the dirty towels out 😂
lol, sounds legit
Great video very relatable
So relatable 😅
Love the video. What laundry detergent do you use or do you make your own?
i either use dr bronners castile soap or dedtegerent cause i can buy it in one of my fav perfume scents
Beautiful house beautiful kitchen 😍
thanks
I needed this realistic mirror image of myself...i guess we twins 😮
I hade adhd…well ADD I don’t care what they say I’m never hyper lol. I use a bag to put all items that belong in different places but I forget to empty it. I like the idea of grouping by zones. I’ll try that. Hopefully I don’t let ut get crazy again smh. I do have a cleaning service, they come every 2 weeks but the in between weeks are ridiculous. N meds aren’t working. I’ll keep watching for more tips.
Oh my therapist also suggested writing down which areas I want to focus on and what exactly needs to be done. Helps a lot
I also set a timer for 20-25, my sweet spot, so I can focus. Then I take a 10 minute break. I set the timer on my stove instead of my phone, or I’ll ignore it. The stove forces me to get up and continue cleaning lol
check with your physican because depending on which medication youre on, some supplements can interfere with absorption (vitamin C for example)
@@abetweene thanks it’s a non-stimulant….I think I need a stimulant.
I had to start and stop this video several times due to me crying because omg it’s not just me!!! Thank God I’m not alone. 😢
I was diagnosed with ADHD 2 years ago(I’m 35) and although it has made so many things clearer and I have a better understanding of how I function now; I still struggle cleaning and feeling over whelmed.
I use a similar system with baskets but still find myself upset when something doesn’t necessarily have a “home” and have to catch myself from trying to reorganize while still cleaning. 🤦🏾♀️
I’m just happy to know I’m not the only one who takes 3 hours to clean their kitchen. 😂
figuring it out one day at a time, thats the best we can do 💕
