I emailed my “care team” asking if they could help me figure out if I have been dealing with undiagnosed adult ADHD and they wrote back with a phone number to call.
I haven’t called them.
It’s been 3? 4? Days.
Man, I look fat in this meme.
I’ve desperately needed a dentist appointment for so long… but I keep doing this.
Do you want to lose a tooth? Cause that’s how you lose a tooth. Speaking from experience here.
And despite being pretty good about dentist’s appointments these days, I, too, have been putting off a doctor’s appointment for weeks now. (It’s tomorrow, finally. )
This post actually got me to call my pharmacist to get early refills so I’ll have meds for my trip coming up
Maybe instead of calling as yourself pretend to be someone who is very comfortable calling their doctor. 🤔
Not sure if that works 😅
I can call the doctor. I know I can. But I keep procrastinating nonetheless…
I can’t explain how to do this because it’s in my head but when I have to make a call or something I keep putting off I can force myself to do it by kind of taking my brain out of the equation. Like for a phone call I just start dialing and by the time the procrastinating part of me catches on to what’s happening the phone is already ringing and I might as well go through with it.
It’s like the same brain mechanics that prevent you from touching a hot stove. You got to go out of your way to override or tick it since phone calls are also existential hazards.
I do the same when I want to start working on any task but it seems daunting or boring and I procrastinate. I just do the first step, like “ok just open the task’s description, read it and try to understand the context”. By the time I did this, I have no difficulty moving to the next step.
