I’m the M but I’ve noticed it in my staff and the ones I’m really close with I’ve said look I was diagnosed late, but these are signs of adhd and the person said “oh everyone tells me I have adhd” and so I’m like “it’s possible they are right, so if you feel you’d ever benefit from a diagnosis, it’s certainly a possibility”
Then another staff I just disclosed and the person said them too and so we’re able to help set them up for success better now that I’m aware and we’re more open about our own struggles which I think has been helpful for us both.
Also you say her/she. My adhd didn’t become a big problem for me until after I had kids. Too many things and my overcompensation to make up for my adhd started failing. Thanks adderall for helping 😂
Absolutely DO NOT start a conversation with someone at work about your opinion about their mental health/condition. Only exception is if you are very good friends with them. Otherwise this is not your business and definitely not your place to bring up. If there is a performance issue or something like that then discuss that with them or HR.
I fully understand wanting to help. There are ways to do it (e.g., offering to help with tasks where you see gaps) in ways that don’t cross a boundary with someone’s mental health journey.
I’ll start off by saying, I want to engage this person privately, so as to be sensitive with their feelings. But like the behavior is spoken about negatively on my side by colleagues and even leadership to some degree. I want to help her because I see her struggling on her side with accomplishing tasks, but I don’t want to get sucked into doing all of her work. What have you done when you’ve noticed this before?
