I'm glad that worked for you. I was diagnosed with ADHD not long ago. Before my diagnosis, I was about to quit a job that I actually liked for the second time.

I'm glad that worked for you. I was diagnosed with ADHD not long ago. Before my diagnosis, I was about to quit a job that I actually liked for the second time. I like my job. I liked my last job. I like programming, I liked my coworkers. Given a challenge, I was always able to rise to the challenge. Given something more mundane, I lost all motivation and capability.
For years, I had blamed myself. I thought I was lazy and a shitty person. I was prone to binge eating and drinking. I was depressed as hell.
Most people can't restructure their lives to work around their symptoms. I don't feel like I should have to. I certainly don't want to.
- molsongolden 12y agoAre you managing with medication now? I wonder if those who are able to restructure are lower on a spectrum. Your situation sounds similar to mine and attempts to restructure have been difficult. I haven't used medication for years because I bought into the idea that it would limit me and I could overcome if I just work hard enough but finally I've realized it just feels like every single thing is harder than it needs to be. I feel like I've wasted a lot of time beating my head against the wall.
