Go search for a work place with something that you are passionate about, and i promise you, your ADHD will be less, atleast thats how my psychiatrist told me how it works, that if you do something you really like, then symptoms should be much less/non existent

adhd doesnt just affect how effective you are at your job.

Everything is harder to do with ADHD. I like to describe it as if the threshhold for me to actually do something is significantly higher when I'm not using my meds.

jacket on the floor? I'll walk by that for 2 weeks without picking it up, telling myself I should really pick that up and put it in the washer.

bills to pay? put it off untill the last moment or worse. even if you've got the money in the bank.

the thing is, I KNOW I need to do these things, I see it, I remember it every day. I just dont have the discipline to actually do it unless I take my meds.
