Thanks for posting all these everyone. Although I’m angered to see so many people having the same crap thrown at them as I have, it does help to know I’m not alone.

Just try harder, get it done, just do it, make your mind up to just get on with it, stop being lazy, you’re not trying, could do better if she wanted to, and one levelled at me from an old boss – ‘You’re as much use as a pot plant. You might as well just stand in the corner.’ (This while another senior member of staff was making me do all her work then taking the credit for it.)

The other worst ones were ‘try using a diary’, just look at your calendar every day (how do I remember to do this?) and ‘what you need is a good kick up the arse’.

No wonder so many people with ADHD have depression and anxiety issues.
