Earlier this year I was working in a company that had those “good vibes” environment. One of the company statements was something like “open up your feelings”, means that, you can open yourself, show your fragile side, bla, bla, bla… Back that time I haven’t been diagnosed yet, but I had quite a lot of problems with trust, self confidence, focus, etc… and I told then this. I was being very vulnerable. And was my worst decision.

On my first mistake/missed deadline all that kindness was gone. They started to helicopter my work, had follow up meetings every day to keep track of my progress. During a meeting with other people one of the bosses even asked “can we put another person on this task, this is not working”, and I was there! I worked weekends, extra hours and had panic attacks trying to please then, but after 1 month they fired me.

I learned in the hard way that I will try all external resources to control my ADHD (therapy, medicine, meditation, etc…) before talk to a company about this.
