Concentrating issue & lacking self worth

Hello! Thank you for reaching out. It sounds like you’ve been through a lot during this past few weeks and it can definitely be causing you distress. Your concern is completely understandable. Please know that death, even as it is a very personal loss, is not under your control. There is only so much one can do and we’re sure you as a daughter have done your best. We can only imagine how distracting and troublesome it can be to focus on work right now. As you’ve told us- in the current scenario, with so much going on- there is now a lot of emotional and mental load on the mind, and the loss of a parent- affects one gravely. Being inside all day and having more and more work piled up can feel very limiting. Please know that it's okay to feel low and not work for a while. While there might not be a reason you consider valid enough to feel this way, we assure you that in these times- there is a lot of stress around us which can make us feel unmotivated to do anything. Work can come into place when you feel mentally and physically well. We would like to emphasise that a diagnosis of ADHD is something that a clinical psychologist- after meticulous sessions with you, can diagnose. If you feel like there is something larger at play here- and its getting too much for you to deal with alone- we would recommend you to please reach out to professional mental health practitioners from organisations or independent set ups for the same! We assure you that you would receive the care and safe place to grieve and work through these times with gentle support. Credits: Parul Pushkarna, Intern at Heart It Out
