[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to think I was lazy, because I spent a lot of time doing things like DCUM instead of dishes or cleaning. My house was a wreck and my husband was doing way more than his fair share of work. (I'm a SAHM)

But then I learned more about my anxiety and ADHD and worked to deal with them, and I'm like a different person. I have a mostly healthy dinner on the table every night, I keep the house decently clean, I work on house projects to make it nice, I do all the little things like paying bills and taking care of the car, I make DH breakfast and lunch if he is working from home, etc. (I also do lots of activities with my kids but I always did that.) I still don't think I contribute as much as DH to our marriage, and that bothers me, but since he works so much I think the only way that will change is if he gets a different job.

My therapist friend says she doesn't believe in the concept of lazy, she just thinks that people don't know how to cope with their mental issues (ADHD, trauma, anxiety, depression, etc).

Not that mental issues excuse a failure to be a dependable partner or parent, but I think attributing that failure to an immutable personality trait and dismissing the person as lazy is an inaccurate way of looking at the situation.[/quote]

Agree it’s undiagnosed mental issues and unmanaged diagnoses and symptoms.  Good for you for managing yours and improving. [/quote]
