Re: Considering asking for an ADHD accommodation at work

[Anonymous]

ok.. first day back from work….. and I hear nothing of the big bad threat to kick us out of the building at 6pm. I seriously was not hearing voices, she specifically said that the office staff were going to search the buildings and call her on her personal cell phone if someone was still in the building (with the nefarious intention to finish up work of course!). Other colleagues have heard nothing about this at all. and I completely look like I’m raving and rambling.

I obviously jumped the gun here, but I know the threat exists. I always jump the gun. I am a PANIC FIX IT RIGHT NOW OR THE WORLD BURNS…versus..oh..let’s relax and see how it plays out.

now I’m wanting the internet to suck back in the long rambling email I wrote to my mentor…. I really should have slept on that. this kind of thing happens all the time..i try and learn… but at the moment.. there never seems to be a reason to sleep on it.

she did reply to me that she doesn’t think that there should be a problem and that ADHD is “barely a diagnosis”. kind of an insult to people who are severely impaired. even for me, i don’t consider myself that impaired, but the symptoms are extremely pervasive and seem to affect everything in my life in some way. however, I felt relieved that I didn’t lose my credibility and she did not lose her faith in me.
