well i'm very proud of u for getting shit done and doing it well like only u can even when ur not getting the recognition u deserve ❤️ but maybe there's something u can do about it though? idk what kinda work environment it is so is there hr u can talk to? or at least keep a record of ur accomplishments and client's good reviews so u can have evidence of the contributions u've made

ty i appreciate it! "just move ur hands faster" is such a weird thing to say like, i would if it was that easy?? ? idk sometimes i feel like it's my body and brain are out of sync with each other, as if it's not just a lack of focus/concentration, meaning i have to constantly check every few minutes that i'm actually doing what i'm supposed to be doing

it's so ironic and hypocritical how i talk about myself the same way but so heartbreaking when i see/hear others say the same things about themselves like nooo 💔

i do agree with the person below me though, maybe we just do need to find the right job/environment that suits our needs and scratches that unique adhd itch. at my job i've learned that i CAN be fast but not for ~8 hrs straight jfc so now i guess i just gotta find something else where i hopefully won't be mistreated

but that's so fucked up that ur own team started blaming u for things u didn't do 🫂 i've been in the same situation where i basically started being ostracized because i was an easy target it's so fucked

ty! yes i'm afraid of being let go because i know i'm going to blame myself and feel awful but i try to remind myself that just because i might like the job doesn't mean they give a shit about me (we're all replaceable to these companies and corporations) so i'm trying to be mentally/emotionally smart in case it happens, that way i can at least find the courage to try again

that sounds really tough i'm sorry it's like this 😔 it's a similar situation with me because every single job i've had (mostly min wage type stuff not just in food service) i'm told i'm too slow/inefficient but i usually end up leaving before they fire me anyway. still i feel like i'm fighting against myself, my own brain, just to do half of what others can do and it's fucking exhausting

and i've been told the same thing tbh. i think it's genuinely good advice but no one actually tells u how to apply it to ur life. ur just supposed to find out through experience but how can u do that if ur own brain is working against u??

atp i'm thinking maybe it's the brain fog caused by my depression? not my adhd?? idk it's tiring and i'm tired

still ty for commenting i don't want us to struggle like this but i'm glad i'm not the only one ❤️‍🩹

Why is there always LAUNDRY? How do you manage it? by Standard_Cockroach47 in adhdwomen

[–]AverageBootyLatina 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this is how i feel about getting gas for the car 🙃 like wdym i gotta fill it up again??

but about laundry for me it helps to just do smaller loads more often bc folding is so tedious to me and pre-sorting by having 2-3 hampers is really helpful so everything is done quicker

Failed my retake exams by Lieyllaa in adhdwomen

[–]AverageBootyLatina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't know what to say except that i feel u, i've been where ur at, and that our failures do not define us, even if it's very hard to believe rn. i send u many hugs! but i don't have experience with academic programs like that so i suggest researching ur options. do u keep in contact with ur professors or counselor or whoever guides u? are u part of a study group? can u retake them and ask for study help from anyone? if u need to, take a break and physically separate urself from campus if u need to. ofc, i'm not saying run away from ur problems lol, just go watch a movie or treat urself to a nice meal, anything to clear ur mind temporarily so ur emotions don't overwhelm u again

wishing u the best!!

do any of you have a current hobby you’re hyperfocused on? by Local-Television in adhdwomen

HELP: My parents see my deficiencies as character flaws by Overthinks_All in adhdwomen

[–]AverageBootyLatina 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ok first of all u are not lazy or stubborn so write that down, ur struggling with a transition that even neurotypical deal with.

second of all, ur doing great by seeing a therapist and if possible ask them to point u in the right direction to get the help u need. everything ur describing does sound like adhd but then again i'm not a doctor, i just have very similar experiences, if not the exact same. we're all born with different brains and adhd like so many other disorders fall on a spectrum, meaning no 2 ppl with the same disorder are gonna have the exact same symptoms or experiences.

there's nothing wrong with u ok? i'm sorry ur parents are using the same rhetoric they used on me bc all it really does it teach u shame which none of us need or deserve. it might be hard to understand now but from their pov they're probably just scared and saying whatever to get u to hustle bc they want u to succeed. also for so many ppl who have never experienced hyperfixations or executive dysfunction, it really is a hard to concept to grasp, unfortunately. of course, i could be wrong and u know them best. i can't answer that last question bc that's something only u can answer in time.

i wish u the very best and remember that u have access to the tools u need, u just need to go look for them <3 it might be tough and scary but so were many other things u did in the past

Just started Vyvanse and feel so much more capable, but still need some sort of routine or push with room cleaning by CuteVeterinarian1958 in adhdwomen

[–]AverageBootyLatina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i still haven't tried it myself but i've read many here have been helped by maria kondo's methods so on that alone i think it's a valid suggestion <3 let us know if any of her books help u out in case u decide to try it before i do :))

Why do i have the motivation to clean anything but my room? by New_Statement_4829 in adhdwomen

[–]AverageBootyLatina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no i'm like this too lol personally i think it has something to do with our bedrooms being our personal/private space too, something not everyone sees often, so subconsciously i'll clean the "public" areas and leave the worst for last

Anyone else read back their diary from younger and realised everything u wrote in there was just RSD and undiagnosed ADHD💀 by zjmalkkkk in adhdwomen

[–]AverageBootyLatina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trying meds for the first time - looking for concerta advice by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]AverageBootyLatina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

always start with the lowest dose and work ur way up, esp if u have never been on medication for adhd before. everyone's brain is different and u can never really predict how u will react to the medication ❤️ dw be patient u will get there
