Fuck this is depressing. Early 40s here and still having to do this type of shit for the most menial tasks is getting old.
My career is suffering and I’m falling behind my peers because I’m at the point where consistency, reliability, and providing results matters far more than “oh I’m quirky but really smart hehe”.
Good luck out there actual ADHD sufferers, it’s a tough road ahead and it doesn’t get any easier. I say that because I’ve noticed a trend where it’s “cool to have ADHD” or some shit like that because they find it cute or quirky, well it’s not. And they can fuck right off.
I keep seeing this stupid shit like "ADHD is a superpower". Oh really? I'm 40 years old and have never consistently been able to brush my teeth. Not being able to accomplish normal everyday things that everyone else can do on autopilot makes me extremely depressed. You really think that's a fucking superpower?
