ADHD and the Crisis of Change
I began writing this story with a different intent.
Initially, it was “ADHD and writing,” then it evolved into “ADHD and writing crisis,” and now we have something quite different.
Why did I decide to write such a story? I believe this is my way of trying to return to writing because it seems I’ve lost my interest and belief in it.
Medium ADHDers, you know how it can happen — one day, the first thing you do in the morning is check feedback on your Medium article, and then, suddenly, you have no intent to write for weeks or more.
That’s what happened to me. I’m going to think over this situation here with you, right here and now.

Low self-esteem has followed me all around all my life, but this time it took a step forward.
I decided to take a pause from work and spend some time without strictly focusing on work — and in a couple of weeks, I felt like I lost my energy, my will, and my sense of being needed.
When you stop doing something you’re good at, it seems to you that you’re just not good enough anymore.
Probably one of the side, but crucial reasons that could affect this situation was the loss of my usual routine and the lack of a new one.
