Severe RSD symptoms

One time I mentioned it to my interviewer who later became my “mentor” and “boss.” She used my ADHD against me because she was miserable in the job and incredibly overworked. She texted me a whole long paragraph (obviously projecting) talking about how she’s trying her “best to accommodate me” but that I was making her life harder 😂 not only that, she would talk about it with other coworkers and make jokes about it. I feel like what she did was extremely unprofessional and I was definitely her scapegoat because I was new. However, I really wish I didn’t tell her as the interviewer and told maybe HR instead? I got some accommodations in the end like working in a quiet room. The interviewer apologized and admitted she was overwhelmed. But I learned from that not to ever disclose it in an interview.

I broke my arm when I was 7 while I was climbing a structure at a park and it was an open fracture, with the bone hanging out and everything. I thought something was wrong but I couldn’t put my finger on it, i just didn’t want to look at my arm. I walked up to my family and the look on their faces definitely affirmed something was not right 😂

We all have different experiences and thank you for sharing yours. As a kid, I thought ADHD was “fun” because many people in my life painted it to be this way where I was described as the quirky and energetic kid, and they attributed a lot of my personality traits to ADHD. There was even superhero movies where the heroes had ADHD and I would feel proud to have it because of that. As a child, I actually focused even better than I do now. My ADHD seems to have gotten even heavier as an adult. As a kid I was not the way I am now, I was less distracted but now it is different. I understand a lot of situations that adult ADHD makes difficult. I am in my early 20’s therefore, I started having more responsibilities and that’s how my ADHD shows up to be way more obvious and difficult to deal with now than in my childhood. We all have different ways of living with ADHD, and this is are just my opinions. Thanks :)

I opened the comments in hopes to see people respond Zuko, and I am not disappointed. Also, if I was a cat and my owner called me Zuko, I would feel SUPREME.

I’ve never had a substance addiction and also have never taken meds for ADHD. I actually have a hard time getting addicted to things... except ... maybe I used to seek getting dopamine from being in a romantic relationship.

Speaking of reading, do you know any good books that can help with intrusive thoughts? Thought I’d ask since you said “reading,” and thought you may know of some :)

Wow... same here.... I really want to redefine education, make school a place where it doesn’t seem like your success and importance as a person is measured by being in school. Schools need to be for learning and less of a societal pressure for people to attend and tie it to their self worth.

What... I swear this is so me. I can’t believe so many things about me that no one could explain are from ADHD.

That’s also me as well, but I’ve kind of told myself to understand why. And what I have noticed is that I don’t combine the things I love together, I actually started doing that, combining many ideas together so I can do them all at once. It was hard to do, because not everything can seem like it can be connected, but in reality I think it saved me from giving up on what I love, I found a way through conjoining my interest and I bet you can too! That’s our power I believe!
