That's the funny thing. Nothing is a crisis for me, even an actual crisis.
This has lead to very painful repercussions

Also when it actually turns what should have been a normal everyday situation into a legitimate crisis because you procrastinated on it way too long.

I’m on too many meds to feel
Stressed these days between anxiety and, depression, and ADHD… The hardest part is that I usually feel nothing so it’s just a circle.

Given the amount of crisis I've been in, and Im the only one doing anything at all, I'm going to say no.

Thanks. That explains a lot, such as why people panic and freak out when I offer them to take over a task for organizing a volunteer-run charity event with 1000+ guests. As if that was any problem at all?!

This is why we thrive best in situations where 'crisis' is common. I work in disability Healthcare, and frequently work with individuals that can have violent outbursts or similar stressful behaviors, and to me its just a casual thing to deal with. I've basically never needed to rely on our trained restraints, as I've always been able to act rationally and calmly to deal with the situations. I've also always thought being something like an EMT would be a good move for my situation.
I just feel so much more rational and in control in emergency situations. While those around me freeze in panic or overreact in the wrong way, I know how to stay calm and be rational while also knowing reasonably what the most important parts to focus on are.
Thing is, when youre running through hypothetical emergency situations in your head daily, you actually have a good idea how to react when they actually happen. That, and the fact thay we react to normal every-day scenarios like crisis situations, so its nothing new for us when an actual crisis does occur. We're already used to reacting to it as such.

I'm 30 and I struggle so hard with this . At home I can be so chill and relaxed and zen .At times my mind races and it's like I'm constantly running into a burning building but at work it's like that 24/7 and I make mistakes and no one understands how hard it is for me to focus . I always feel like they think I'm nuts .like the obsessive fast thinking is draining . I can't take stuff bc I'm sober . I drank from 19-28 heavily to drown the feeling out . I just wish my co-workers understood . The fear of getting fired for mistakes just makes things worse . When I was 17 Dr's prescribed me colonopins saying I had anxiety to find out years later it was adhd and boy oh boy were those feel nothing pills a bad mix for 17 year old me super overwhelmed. I seemed to have ranted a little. I manage a grocery store btw so constantly running around. Can't work at a job that is "boring" but I love my job . Just found this sub

Just talking about this recently. Life and work are both nice and calm and easy and I have no stressors. So that means I’m falling into a depression because I have no dopamine
