Does anyone else with ADHD have some days where your executive dysfunction is worse than normal, and you end up barely doing anything and feeling like crap? I’m having one of those days, and I’m hoping I’m not alone in experiencing this.

Yes. It’s part of having ADD / Executive Dysfunction. You’re not alone, your feelings are absolutely real and valid, and it’s ok to not be at your best 100% of the time.
Something I’ve learned during my almost 5 decades is that you have to save up against the ADD bad days. In other words, don’t procrastinate about dishes or laundry because there will be days when you’re just not able to do them. Save up for those days by getting shite done! (Obviously not today, you’re having a bad day)
I used to beat myself up something terrible until I realized that.
You’re not alone. Lots of people share the same disability as you, but that doesn’t cheapen your individual suffering.
