Hey folks, so I recently got a job, which has been pretty great but very tiring. And I am finding it difficult to have that balance while also living with ADHD. I’m on meds, though might have to discuss with my psych on putting me on different meds but that’s another story for another time....

I should have gotten tested months ago already, but executive dysfunction and anxiety kept me from making the phone call. It’s soooo expensive because of the way my insurance works (haven’t met my deductible). Also, I have to abstain from cannabis and alcohol for thirty days....

I have an unusual name so when I meet new people my brain focuses on their reaction to my name and how they pronounce it, so I completely zone out when they tell me their name. I might remember it for a short time but almost always I forgot their name if I don’t interact with them frequently.
