โYou're not lazy. I believed that for years. School made me think it. But it's not true. The waiting lists are real. So is the frustration. Get someone to help you fight for the assessment. And ignore the comments about your body. People say things without thinking. It's not about you. It's about them. Find the small things that calm you. For me it's a cup of tea before the kids wake up. That's enough for now.โ
โFor someone just starting with ADHD: the pharmacy shortage is real and it is not your fault. I learned to call around to different pharmacies when mine is out. Also, the late fees from forgetting bills, set up auto-pay if you can. It saved me. And find something that lets you move, for me it is dancing on Fridays. It helps with the restless energy. You are not lazy, your brain is just wired different. Keep going.โ
โI was sure I'd never feel normal again. I was wrong. Try not to make big decisions on the wosrt days. I learned that the hard way. Keep going, even slowly.โ
โIf you've just found this place, in 2022 I was exactly where you are. Back then it was time blindness at work. I'm volunteering here now. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. From someone who gets it.โ
