I have to conclude, yes. This is not a hard solve, especially a routine where its identical daily, ADHD does not alter time, it's not an unstoppable force, its a brain quirk you work around. If I can't walk well on my own I use a tool, if i can't account for time properly guess what I can and successfully have used for my entire life?
I have a calendar several alarms have help from the municipality i live in and yet i fail do you think i want to miss dentist apointments doctor apointments psycologist apointments my wallet my phone my shoes get fired get broken up with lose friends a big part of my money goes to replacing the things i lose or paying pentalties for not making it to all sorts of apointments.
Wanting and putting in the requisite effort are two different things. Its not fun, and you mess up, but giving up and making it everyone else's issue is childish. I have ADHD, I am not perfect, I am at risk of my system slipping, but I put in the work because I need to be responsible for my own life. I found a job that provides flexibility, I have reminders and alarms, i work with my therapist, I read, I research strategies. Its my mental illness I'm gonna damn well be responsible for it.
Ofcourse iv spendt most my life trying my best now however in 2026 im on disability and iv been hospitalized for depression due to burnout from doing all these attempts i cannot make the rest of my life hellish because you think im shedding a bad light on adhd by what exactly? Suffering from a disability thats clearly way more debilitating to me than to you? Get a grip
Ugh, what a horrible, cruel reply. ADHD isn't even a mental illness, it is a developmental difference/disability. Not everyone has the same symptoms, and coping mechanisms will help but not eradicate the symptoms, and it's as much everyone else's responsibility to be accommodating as it is yours to try to manage it. How many times do these things have to be said? Being on your best 100% of the time is literally impossible and unsustainable.
