I show up, hyperfocus, do an incredible job, get a raise, then lose the entirety of my reputation by not doing anything.

Now I’m teaching, and it’s hitting my mom friend override a little- I don’t do the work because I have to, but because the students deserve to learn. But it’s also new, so that might change

    That’s reassuring :)

    My sister has much more severe ADHD, but also way better coping skills than I do (our AUDHD mom was a special education teacher who instilled really helpful habits in her, but died before I was old enough to do the same with), and she’s a great teacher, so I hope it’ll work like that for me as well.

    Actually, basically everyone in my family is a teacher, lol. Maybe that is the answer.
