Reply to comment by lcbk in Study finds brain changes associated with ADHD remission. As the brains of those with ADHD mature, some individuals may repetitively engage in strategies that compensate for symptoms. These repetitive behaviors may result in the brain changes seen in those who went into remission. by Wagamaga

I get up in the morning with the help of stress and fear of missing a paycheck and debt. My job is incredibly entertaining to me for the most part, although I struggle with the will to drive to the office and to start tasks, once I do I finish very quickly.

My partner makes my lunch or I would just not eat at work, I drive home and dinner is already made too, so I just have to eat and spend the rest of the afternoon negotiating with my brain about washing the dishes or doing laundry, taking a shower. Some times I win, must of the time brain wins, couch paralysis, sleep super late and repeat.

I'm a stay at home mom so all I have to do is clean the house and feed the family. I manage but I'm not winning any prizes. Had it only been me, living alone, I wouldn't even cook for myself. Couch paralysis and sleeping late sounds very familiar. Stress is also a good motivator.

House work is the hardest thing for me, kudos to you for being able to do it!
