I have no idea if this is or might be ADHD related, so I'm curious to hear from this group.

I own a pillar on a team, and someone else owns a parallel pillar but they are 1 level above me. This person has twice actioned something that is in my scope, or decided we would agree to do something within MY scope (not hers) without consulting me.

I loved this role to start, but this type of thing immediately makes me want to quit the role and find another where I can "own" what I was assigned.

Cont. It truly kills all my internal motivation when I have to deal with this type of behavior. I end up in these roles because I'm good at what I do, but sometimes I feel like I'm only good at what I do until I start to deal with people/things like this who overstep me, and then I have no interest in doing it anymore. It's like - Okay fine then you do it!

Nah this sounds like you’re working with people that are difficult to work with.

If your trying to know if your ADHD effects this situation the answer is yes.socially when those of us with adhd are assigned tasks and we enjoy what we do for a living or even if your just determined , it’s the fact that it’s your work and there’s no communication that it’s being done already.witch causes your mind that is already Hyper focusing on what your doing to get interrupted , causing you to be irritated due to the fact that you already had the plans in your mind to get the work done the way you preferred. Ultimately it comes down to the person who’s a level above you not using proper communication to ensure that they are not overlapping you/ duplicating your efforts or even ruining the overall outcome of the project

A therapist said to close her door if we don’t want to see it but it’s more than that. She needs this important life skill & I don’t know how to help.

Hi! I’m a young professional with less than 2 years experience, started a new job 1.5 months ago. I’m having quite some difficulties on balancing out my response time to tasks. While I act incredibly fast if not immediately with some, I sometimes take 1-2 weeks with couple of hours worthy ones. Sometimes I ignore, procrastinate or simply other more urgent things come up to increase the delay. Also I work with 3 managers in my team which doesn’t help with expectations nor guidance. Any tips pls?

Typical college won't work for me. 4. I also can't relocate.
