I imagine most disabilities are like this, much worse for some, but it really frustrates me that to cope with ADHD we need to have a whole second job.

Make ToDos, exercise, take medicines, manage emotions, follow a whole check list of things to do to get your attention back to your work, constantly test and try new methods to see what works and what doesn't, handle the anxiety that comes with not being able to do work, constantly think about how you can improve something.

It doesn't help that the coping itself takes up valuable processing space that should have been in use for something more important.

Yeah. I picked up dart and flutter one day just because it looked cool to me.

It makes me unique for sure. But I wonder if I would give that up for just some quiet.

    Meh, everyone struggles with things. If it's not ADHD it's something else.

    Not trying to minimize your issues, but I personally try to keep that mindset to keep myself happy. Hope you find a great way to deal with it! I have found that calendar invites and alarms have been a godsend to me. And music weirdly enough lol
