'Like many people with ADHD & RSD, I struggle with self-esteem — I’m constantly second-guessing the reactions of others and torturing myself wondering if I said the right thing or responded appropriately. But here are some of my work-from-home solutions.'
. That combination plays out in some debilitating ways. Here are some of my major roadblocks and WFH solutions:When I’m feeling anxious, moving helps. In the office, I worry that I will disturb my coworkers, so I don’t satisfy that need. Fighting back the impulse to move, of course, distracts me from my job. Walking the line between caring for myself and bothering others is something I do all day long at work. At home, I can move about freely, play with aWFH Challenge #2: Handling criticism.
Writing is a big part of my job — I work in marketing for a small tech start-up in Chicago. The process involves receiving feedback from other members of my team and, while I know editing is necessary to get the job done, it triggers self-doubt, extreme bouts of rage, and unbearable sadness.

It’s incredibly rewarding to cross off goals at the end of the day. I keep the completed goals in my planner so I know what I did the previous day, which helps me plan my new day and helps me keep track of my week. I’m fortunate to have job security right now, but I’m still nervous about the economic downturn. After receiving assurance from leadership recently, I wrote down a few things they said that made me feel most secure and put those points on a Post-It note. When I start to feel nervous about job security, I look at the sticky and it puts those worries at ease.When I find myself getting anxious during the workday, I allow myself to take short breaks to clean up something around the house.
