Exactly. Before I was diagnosed with ADHD, I was experiencing severe executive function. Just nearly no ability whatsoever to do things I wanted to do, even if they were fun. But had big impacts in terms of friendships (not actively trying to socialize very much, because planning basic get together felt insurmountable) and home life (simple chores were almost impossible to get done). And it doesn’t feel like laziness (which I think is more like you just don’t want to do the annoying thing right now), but like I really wanted and needed to do it, and just couldn’t make it happen.
ADHD meds have been almost a literal lifesaver, and the amount they make work halfway tolerable is… crucial.
