Having ADHD and being asked why I struggle to motivate to do things I wanna do or being told to “just try to focus better” is like living in a world where I’m using a Mac, and those people have a PC. And when I’m having computer problems they tell me to just press the Windows key on my keyboard. Like. I don’t have that button 😭

      I feel the same way!!! It’s really hard for others to understand especially when they’ve never experienced any of this before. Have you tried explaining this to them? Maybe that’ll help.

        @Gubermicfatkins like they know I have ADHD and I was even giving pushback saying “yeah I’m trying as hard as I can I just struggle with this cause ADHD” and I’m told not to blame everything on it

        @Gubermicfatkins yes it happens at my workplace and I had a panic attack and cried and got sent home. Like I don’t get scheduled anymore because of it
