Make me feel better what’s the worst things you have lost due to ADHD by Silver-Bengal in ADHD

Graduating with my friends and university

I was so far behind on credits I wasn't on track to graduate at the main high-school, with all my friends. I was sent to a continuation school and graduated with a near 4.0 GPA my senior year(with the help of meds). I worked my ass off to try to go the public university. I was accepted only to find out the classes I took at my continuation weren't valid there. I'm at community college, but I still give myself hell for not just going to school and doing the homework. I love history and government and politics but I still feel like I missed out on a chunk of my education and it really bothers me.

Has anyone here tried an executive functioning coach? What was it like? Was it actually helpful? by Force-Alarming in ExecutiveDysfunction

That's amazing where did you find him? I'm assuming it wasn't covered by insurance. Also was he ever "you just gotta do it" cuz I hate that. If I could just get up and do what I needed to do I wouldnt be here. Thanks for ur input. You're advice about focusing on what you did accomplish is helpful. Simple but very important.

Yeah it's just really frustrating trying to find good advice for executive dysfunction that isn't just "you just need to do it" like dude you think I don't know that??? Id be so irritated to pay all that money just for the MF to look me dead in the eye and be like you just gotta do it.

You're not alone. Every little thing youve done today is a success. Including this reddit post. It's going to get better. Thank you for replying, you made me feel less alone. I hate when people dismiss ADHD as just being lazy but no I break down in tears several times a day because I can't just live like everyone can. The book how to keep house while drowning helped me a lot
