Get the Disencouragement mug.The act of someone or something discouraging you to the point you give up completely, also meaning that you are getting depressed(often comes with ADHD).
ADHD in my mind should stand for Anticlimatic, Depressed, Hyperkinetic, Discouragenmentation. My divorce has drawn me to discouragenmentation.
