I too have a great deal of trouble when my issues due to adhd have impacted and inconvenienced others; caused hardship for others. When it happens, I feel lower than scum, I feel like hiding, I just want to go home. And although usually I can “wait 10 minutes and I’m feeling totally differently” – it takes me longer to come out of one of these events and the aftermath. I find it hard to forgive myself, especially if it is a goof I’ve made before, thus, I’m not learning from my mistakes. It seems like I never learn from experience, never learn from the same thing happening in the past. And I am a masters-degreed professional, smarter than the average bear, so to speak, but when this happens, I feel like a total worthless idiot…
