My partner has had to remind me many times that my disabilities are actually disabling. No matter how hard I try, I'll never be able to the same tasks as a neurotypical person.
Sometimes just slowing down and working within your limits can drastically improve your symptoms. I find that my symptoms are at their worst when I'm pushing myself too hard, and can go away almost completely if I've been resting properly for a few weeks. This is fairly rare because I still haven't learnt to actually rest.
I'm also seeking medication to help, but it could take a long time to get anything. I'm also prepared for the possibility that the medication isn't the single solution to all my problems.
I wish you the best in your endeavours. You're not alone.
Thanks for the well wishes. I can't shake the feeling pf being embarassed about adhd.. when I was a kid the adults always said it was an excuse, kids just needed more spankings/punishments. I'm at an age where I understand myself more than back then, I want to be helped by my wife, but it for me is almost Impossible to bring myself to speak with her about it.
