Have the same, thought it was normal turned out it’s not. It’s ADHD. I was somewhat surprised, because for me and my family it was normal to be very heavy driven with the “next thing” and not something that’s obtained even though, similarly

Sure, it's anonymized though, cause I'd rather this thread to drown slightly so it's harder to link to (yeah, I can reply btw. from same address): koncha_slizga_0b (at) icloud.com

Please talk with your doctors about it, switch specialists if needed. If someone dismiss how you feel about yourself and your situation it's them who is wrong, not you. One of the reasons ADHD has a bad reputation is because Adderall e

Thank you very much - yet I really like my job. Honestly. I've took hiatus few times (burnout) but I always wanted to get back. I have only the best memories with both companies I worked for and people I worked with. Even fiascos weren

Sure - I'm used to problems on my contract but usually when something went wrong I knew I could count on my agency to step in. Conflict resolution, 3rd person perspective needs analysis, project re-assessment and stuff like that (even

Once I was accused by close friend that I'm enjoyed something only because I was "high on drugs". I told him that from my underperforming dopamine brain it's he who is constantly high on drugs, and I finally were able to

I can tell you directly that ADHD adults always had an ADHD when they were children, as that's not something you develop, it's just more like a skin color or a body build. Our minds just work differently. ADHD isn't necessari

Yes - please don't self diagnose. ADHD in adults is somewhat new and some specialist either don't know or downplay it so keep that in mind. I'd suggest getting to the ADHD Adult specialist/clinic in the area. Depending o

Well, of course I don't do interviews like that. But keep in mind one thing. If I go and say that I wrote at least one application in (probably more but, let's size it down) in 25 different languages people usually think I'm

It's quite interesting, but I believe that procrastination and burnout are rather obvious signs of ADHD and if you experience this you should verify this. I'm a huge mental health advocate and I've been such for years (I work

Absolutely true, yet then at least I would feel at ease with myself if we agree to the terms. All cards on the table and I won't have to feel bad about myself because I procrastinated on filling 37.12 .xlsx files with the detailed diar

Without exposing myself too much that's what I'm doing right now. But while the contracting agency I work for is really great but it's also very massive and I feel very desolated, especially since my last contract was the &qu

If I'm to be 100% honest - I have no idea and thus I'm looking slightly to stand on the shoulders of the giants, who most likely know better than I do. Neurodiversity is... diverse. I could probably write a book about my experienc
