Oh well, at least I can rotate between behavioral addictions for constant distraction
Joke’s on me I guess; I’m also dogshit at things I want to do!
I feel personally attacked.
I wish I could figure out if I have it. I asked my doctor how to get diagnosed, he said I’d need to talk to a psychiatrist. I got a referral and tried to setup and appointment but they said I couldn’t be tested since I have no history of it. They instead want to put me on antidepressants but I’ve gone through enough of them to know that ain’t what my issue is.
Mental health care in this country is a fucking joke.
If you really think you need to be medicated, try different doctors until you find someone who specializes in ADHD. The rest have no clue what they’re doing and regularly try to treat the symptoms of ADHD (such as depression about how much your life is coming apart due to ADHD) instead of the cause.
I’m basically an orchestra with no conductor. The different sections are just doing whatever the hell they want. I need a conductor.
Lol it’s me
I feel like this tells a lot about the state of the society we have where most people can’t be what they want to be if they want to also make a living
ADHD is not a personal problem, it’s a socioeconomic problem.
I mean it’s both. Not being able to do your chores is bad no matter the society.
And it’s bad because they’re “chores” who “need to be done”. In a different structure which recognised the needs of ADHD people those chores would never have been assigned to you in the first place.
No. You don’t get to deny the very real PERSONAL harm done by this condition. No amount of socioeconomic changes could ever stop the personal problems.
