Yep. All of this, so much. ADHD comes with so many obstacles. Violent mood swings and hyperfixations that in my case were misdiagnosed as bipolar, etc. Easy burnout. Rejection sensitivity that makes communication and goal achievement more difficult. Executive dysfunction where it is harder to do things I want to do. Inability to juggle multiple obligations at once.

In my experience, these are things that everyone deals with on an individual basis to some extent. So for a long time I gaslit myself thinking that I didn’t have it. But after finally being affirmed (the isolation from the pandemic shut-down and I think recovering from COVID infection really destroyed my capacity to mask) I look back on my entire life since childhood and recognize just how much of the trauma I suffered had roots in my untreated ADHD.
