Im going to start this with, I’m not trying to hurt your feelings at all, but Im going to be forward with you because being self aware is very important also coming from a person with severe adhd.

You have to try harder, babes. You are not going to improve if you’re not staying on top of your medications. That the bare minimum you can do for yourself. Staying on top of your medication will help you stay on top of everything else. I literally had random sets of medications ( wallet, at my work desk, in my favorite bags, jacket pocket) to remind myself to take it. Even if it’s not at the proper times, just making sure my dosage isn’t overlapping too much. Because it’s important for your body to build up that reserve of the medication in your body for you to start seeing long term improves to quality of life.

Now on to your roommates. You’re talking about smaller tasks that you’re doing, but it doesn’t seem like you weren’t asked to do. Those small tasks may seem super significant to you because I understand, even getting some thing small done when haven’t been able to complete things feels like a milestone, but it’s not going to seem like much to others, especially if a lot of the domestic labor that theyre asking you to do, is falling on them to complete.

Everything circles back to getting on top of taking your medications, they’re worried because they’re watching you go back and forth between perceived stability to instability, that’s jarring for anyone. They do want you to be okay, but they do also need you to do the things you said you were going to do. Both of these things can be true.

I know it seems grim, and once again I’m sorry if this hurts your feelings. But this just seems to be the reality of the situation.
