I screwed up and am stuck deep in 2. I even screwed up a miraculous way out with this awesome startup. And I was diagnosed in kindergarten! No drugs, I’m healthy, just… Yeah.
I wish I could subscribe to this community over and over.

Yep. But at least my life makes perfect sense now. Everything just seems so clear now.
Nothing quite like the feeling of a dumpster fire coming into perfect focus around you.
Hey, it's me!
Yeah I swear if they take away my meds and say just get over it
Look, mom! I'm on the screen!
I was in GT classes in middle school and my freshman year of high school and I absolutely did not belong there. But, you know, I liked teaching myself things so obviously I should be put in the class that made me do extra boring bullshit work.
Why yes, I did end up dropping out of high school and getting a GED.
Never been evaluated for ADHD, but I have basically all the symptoms my daughter, who definitely has ADHD, has, or had them at her age.
I'm now one further in the "incapacitated for years" state
Oh wow, this hits in a peculiar way
Just got stage 3 last month. Stage 2 sucks :(
Not to diminish the struggles of those with ADHD, but this is also a thing for neuronormative folks. Society simply tells us all to be brilliant in order to be useful for others. But the problem is that not everyone of us are the same and if we don't live up to expectations, we also end up disappointing ourselves. So, we try to keep up to please others, neglecting ourselves, and hence leading to burnout.
