The low tolerance for distractions / hot temper has caused me to hurt those whom I love most in this...

I don’t know where the purpose of my life is. I looked where I last saw it and it isn’t there anymore. It’s like losing your keychain. All I can do is hope I forgot it somewhere at home because I sure can’t go outside without it. I wanna find joy in things again, and it is so difficult to get you shit together when...

I will let go of all my normal home maintenance tasks, such as cleaning, laundry, taking out the trash, changing bed sheets, etc., until I have a deadline for work approaching.

I’m a 45-year-old dude who’s only now coming to grips with having probably lived my whole life with undiagnosed inattentive-type ADHD.

Hi, I’m new to lemmy and this is my first post. I’ve been diagnosed with adhd for a while now and I’m on medication.

Hello, I am new here....
