I made it through grad school, postdoc, and got a really good academic PI position with untreated severe ADHD… I can’t do simple things I’m supposed to do or get any work done most days, but every now and then I get hyperfocused on an important scientific problem and solve it. I can’t stop thinking about it until I solve it, and I can get what looks like years of work done in a week. It can take my years to write these up as a paper after. I get paid well but it is stressful as hell when I don’t get any work done for a long time and am worrying about the consequences.
