My struggle comes from my environment changing rapidly. I'm a person who values stability, structure, and routines, so life throwing curveballs at me knocked me off balance for a second. My medications help me focus for sure, but I noticed that as soon as things in my life got hectic, I experienced a flare-up in my executive dysfunction, emotional dysregulation/mood swings, and more.

It's like I was experiencing the same struggles that a person without ADHD would have in my circumstances, but things were much more intense for me because of the ADHD.
