    ADHD & Work Trouble

    Today is all about reflecting on how ADHD appeared before I knew what it was and the ways it caused me grief as I tried to understand why it was so hard to do what I was asked to do. I also reflected on how struggling to meet that "enough" label stood in the way of me finding my ADHD diagnosis, coming to terms with anxiety and depression, as well as how feeling like I had to be "all or nothing" when it came to figuring out my sexuality.  Main theme:  ADHD and production struggles/expectationsTimeliness issues Questioning sexuality Acceptance If you have a moment, please rate the show on your favorite listening platform!
