This is why I love my current job and my friendship group's. In both circles "I didn't do that because I've been struggling with my ADHD" is a completely valid reason.
I mean, at work it's followed by a short "what do we do to get over that hurdle?" because obviously I can't just, not do my job.
But at least I'm not having to make shit up, and I can actually get to the root of the problem (being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world) and address it. Even if addressing it is just my boss giving me a fake deadline to put the pressure on the task.
I keep getting in trouble at work for calling in sick from anxiety and I don't even know why I keep getting it. I'm sitting here with nothing to do and I'm anxious. Why is my brain like this?
