Well said. As a fellow functional dysfunctional I feel the same. Everyone keeps telling me it couldn’t be that bad since I am so successful, on the other hand a neurologist recently told me she’s surprised I could work at all due to my “crippling” (her words) ADHD.
I’m in academia, so being a little quirky is almost the norm. But whenever I meet new people, and they get to know me, this is exactly their reaction lol.
Look, I’m one of those ADHD folks who are pretty successful in their career despite all the mental issues.
Let me tell you, it still kinda sucks. Every day is a struggle. Even though it always works out in the end for me, the process is the punishment.
