I basically feel like the whole day was a waste and I spent all this time and energy for nothing. I'm always told one of the things to help with our mental illnesses is to keep ourselves busy, etc but this often happens to me where I try to do something but it just ends up making me depressed because I either take way too long to do it, make a mistake, or fail at doing it/having to redo it all over. I spent the whole day today trying to fix my brother's dog and my dog's kennel with some wiring. I put a lot of effort and time into it but my dog just ends up managing to mess it up again to get through it after like 30 minutes. She is really smart too... I think I spent like around 6 hours doing this. What a failure. After that, I start spraying flea spray around our yard and house. I think I spent like 2-3 hours doing this. When I finished, I realized that I think the flea spray I was using is probably broken because it looks like it's only spraying water and the flea yard spray bottle still feels like it didn't get used much if at all. (it's a container with a sprayer that attaches to the garden hose and mixes/dilutes with water as you spray it. Now I have to respray everything again tomorrow and probably have to think of something to do for the kennel. I'm so tired. I spent all this time and energy today and my body is sore too. It just makes it more depressing because this often happens to me...messing up/redoing something, taking forever to do something compared to someone else. I think it would take someone else probably like 2-3 hours to literally do exactly what I did in 8-9 hours. Same thing goes for when I do assignments and homework...this is just so frustrating. I'm not sure how much ADHD comes into play here...
