This is all super relatable.
> Uncontrollable "hyperfocus" on things you really don't have control over.
This is the bane of my existence. I have moments reading about things (most recently, how to repair air conditioning systems in vehicles I don't even own!?) in which I'm aware of how insane it is but I just can't stop. I need to know more.
> Poor time management.
I once went snorkelling for an hour... for almost 4 hours. Everyone thought I was dead.
> Zero sympathy from other people.
Yeah. All those people who thought I was dead subsequently believed I went snorkelling for 4 hours on purpose - not at all because I had no idea it had been that long. In my mind I thought "I better get back, it might be closing on 1.5 hours by now!". The ocean was too beautiful for time to exist though. I really had no idea. I was shamed for being so selfish and self absorbed for ages... I suppose I still am, actually. This happens with countless things. My family refuses to believe ADHD causes you to do things like this; they think I'm looking for excuses when I point to ADHD.
> Having a hard time reading long pieces of text.
This is the one thing I'm alright at. I love getting lost in text, even if it's not that interesting. The problem is that I do it too often.
> Depression and anxiety
Yeah. This is soul crushing.
