When I'm at work, I'm bored and feel like I'm wasting my time because I should be doing more for myself and the world.

When I'm at home, I don't want to fully relax as I feel that I'm wasting my life and my free time.

Fun!

This pairs nicely with anxiarrhea: the shits you get when you get really anxious, especially prevalent in the morning before work.

I don’t think that’s a word, just what I call it..

You stresslax over the weekend and bam! The anxiarhhea hits Monday morning.

Apparently this is especially common with people with ADHD.

This happens to me with depression. When I'm depressed because of my situation, my coping mechanism is to research/organise how to change my situation. But when I get tired of researching and need a brake I can't stop thinking about the big picture and need to force myself to think about the present & little things.

This is so relatable and I never considered taking a break to think about the present. Despite the fact that my therapist has taught me several grounding techniques, I never think of them in the moment.

Oh, yeah – I've noticed that when I'm depressed my brain is stuck in a loop of only thinking about the big picture. So much so that I forget about here and today

This is so me. I prefer working because when I'm playing video games or lying on the couch, my mind goes back to the thoughts of "is X on track..?"
