Right there with you. Today has been the worst day of the week for me. Feel like I got nothing done and went about everything in the hardest way possible. Cried in the car on the way home! Gotta love humpdays.

I feel that. THis group has been such a safe haven for me. Its nice to network with other ADHD professionals, it helps me to not feel so alone.

Anyone else have a gaslighting parent? I saw a therapist about my mom for years and it helped, but now in biglaw, it can be really hard to deal with. sometimes my mom delivers a punch to the gut via text in between months of being my friend. I guess I’m just so wound up, my mom’s friendship (which is how I characterize it) is a comfort for me. So when she hits me with something randomly spiteful and hurtful, it’s like shock, devastation, loneliness, and anger all at once.

What types of work accommodations can help people with ADHD? I am starting to believe 35+ of having not managed my ADHD has really negatively impacted me in career growth etc. I'm realizing a lot of things about myself are because of the ADHD. I want better for myself and family but 1. I don't enjoy the same things forever 2. Imposter syndrome and RSD make me believe it's acceptable to start over in new places at low salaries. 3. Typical college won't work for me. 4. I also can't relocate.

I’m pretty certain I am battling ADHD but just realizing this in the past year (I’m 40). I am nervous about getting diagnosed because I’m terrified I’ll become dependent on the meds… and if I’m honest, that I’ll “like” them too much. Is that crazy? The feelings of being overwhelmed are becoming too much to bear and I can’t seem to get anything done. Any words of encouragement?

My ADHD has been a massive barrier for me in my career. I can’t stay at a job for more than 1.5 years.

My ADHD keeps me from being a consistently great performer. When I manage my ADHD, I am amazing. And when I fail to manage it, I fall short. And everyone then wonders why I can’t do my basic job responsibilities.
It’s frustrating. I am V qualified, talented and capable, but this thing is killing me. Everyone I know is getting ahead and I’m constantly struggling even though I’m ambitious.
