i sort of informed my manager of my ADD, but no one ever mentioned it again(i think they’ve forgotten, plus one of them no longer works there). I spoke to my manager and co-workers about sending me emails with tasks and providing as much info as possible. Also to include deadlines, so i’m not panicking to get everything done as soon as it comes into my inbox. I’m slowly learning to be able to say no to people and not deal with everything at once, but it’s progress not perfection.

working as a receptionist, isn’t the most ideal job for someone with ADD, but i try to make it work as best as i can. I”m fortunate that i have an awesome co-worker who makes sure i eat and helps me out when i’m getting stressed out.
