#adhd and vague posting
rsd be like: sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry…
I got a job and my adhd is absolutely kicking me in the butt. I keep assembling things the wrong way and don’t realize until I’m several steps in*, I will sometimes forget what I’m supposed to be doing next for a split second and just stand there weirdly, and then when my boss or other employees are giving me instruction I have to make such a conscious effort to pay attention and retain the words they are saying and sometimes I slip anyway and am like oh shoot shoot I was supposed to be listening ah! And then I’m also just constantly worried about not doing good enough or being a nuisance to everyone else or causing problems, and that has overwhelmed me a few times, but so far I have managed to keep a more positive attitude and I haven’t ended a work day wanting to quit yet. And sometimes it’s fun so that helps.
*im still able to fix it when I do it wrong so it’s not terrible just consumes more time
But also my boss and coworkers are all very good about it when I do something wrong and help me so that also probably has a big impact on why I am still doing ok
