Yes, for me it is a problem. The only good thing about ADHD is that now that I have finally been diagnosed and know a bit about it,
I can lightenup on blaming me for a list of stuff: changing jobs every 4-5 years either cause I was bored, or cause I offended others,
very impetuous in conversation, driving and shopping, my attention wanders .. not great when I am driving, so I risk me and everyone else. In many ways, I am unaware of or ignorant of many of the social conventions .. or I remember them after blowing something by forgetting what to do or say. Have no count on the number of people I have either offended or driven away, much of the past is vague.
My ADHD, do I own it or does it own me… not sure, but which ever, it is a problem for me and for anyone who may be impacted by my having an ADHD moment at the wrong time. I could be really selfish, and say that it is not a problem for me, except when I have to
interact with other humans. But that would be angry, my ADHD is mostly hyper, anxiety and anger .. we are working on it.
At present, I don’t like or respect who I was; I am trying to work towards being what I want to be, but there are days of confusion and days of clarity and it is taking time. Literary quote : I wasted time, now Time wastes me. I can’t imagine how or ADHD could not be a problem, unless someone was so self aware that they knew what they had and knew how to cope with having it so as to minimize damage. I guess that would be some other person. Pretty sure that I would take little pleasure in meeting them at present.
