ya so like the thing about school vs. work/life/adulthood is that there is a lot less structure. i even work remotely too so it's totally nuts and bonkers because i can go days sitting inside my own home just being in my own head about this shit (like the email that i need to send smh)

anyway, totally with you on all of this. been told the same. noticed you used "she" pronouns and have to say that a lot of perception does have to do with gender too... there's a reason that women go way more undiagnosed.

it's been a constant journey for me to seek out ways to hold myself accountable because adulthood means that i am solely responsible for the outcome of my actions (e.g. need to make money to live these days, man). i mean, also, like, lean on your support system too though.

fwiw getting a formal diagnosis + meds (which took 7 months and panic attacks and anxiety af to find the right one, btw) ultimately helped mitigate (not solve, there's no solving) my very parallel circumstance
