If you’re an adult with ADHD, burnout at work can feel confusing—and honestly, a bit scary. You might be thinking: “Why can’t I do things I used to be able to do?” “Am I just being lazy?” “What’s wrong with me?” As a therapist who works with adults with ADHD, here’s what I want you to know: This isn’t a motivation problem.
