What bothers you the most about having ADHD?

This one could be funny but… my therapist sent me a paper about this medicine that could help with my ADHD, but it’s been months and I still didn’t read it in order to decide if I should take it.

The paralysis, recently especially around already big life changes (moving, selling my car, losing my job). It makes emotional regulation a Herculean effort and then I start forgetting important things like taking my meds, brushing my teeth, paying bills. It impacts every small and big thing in my life. It can be very exhausting!

Realizing how many relationships have been ruined due to mine and my partner's ignorance on why I am the way I am

I think for me it’s how many misconceptions people have about it. They expect me to be very loud, extroverted and disruptive of others. Those are stereotypes based typically on “male ADHD”, making it much harder to detect in women and girls. Of course, these stereotypes are not necessarily true for all men with ADHD either…
