It is just so tiring sometimes

Getting my shit together < the sweet embrace of the status quo

Yeah like it's only a problem when I'm expected to cover the duties of the two friends who got laid off, on top of my own job description.

I wouldn't need drugs to "lock in" if I wasn't continually being squeezed for more more more focus more productivity more time more fucking unwavering attention.

It's not normal! It's this stupid grind culture that makes me disabled. When the workload is evenly shared I don't need drugs.

25 for me and had just been fired for the second time. I was lucky enough to find coping mechanisms and a support structure that worked for me with people who had my best interests in mind otherwise I'd probably still be struggling.

That was over 20 years ago and now when I tell people I'm ADHD they don't believe me. Makes me feel good!

You shut the fuck up. I do not appreciate being attacked like this

Yeah, and what's difficult is that real improvement is possible, but you get stuck in this rut where you view attempts to improve yourself as pointless.

Yep. I wasn’t diagnosed until I was like 35.

Nah, before I was diagnosed I was basically a zombie raising from the dead each morning through sheer willpower.

I'm exactly like that, and I find it so strange. Usually, the brain adepts to a new situation, and that isn't exactly new.

I plan everything as if I did not have ADD, and have done so even before I was diagnosed and had meds.

Ironically, I started actually building stuff when I hit 30.

Even now that I'm medicated I still do this everyday. Things are better, but medication has its limits.

It also doesn't last all day, much to my dismay.

Where is that pfp character from? I remember it's from animated shorts. From Nickelodeon? I remember a short where his brain falls out, but can't remember how I know it.

Better don't worry about tomorrow and ask yourself why you didn't get up today.

Could be a trick question if you don't find a reason for not doing something.
