ADHD

Anyone who’s dealt with ADHD long enough: has it ever gotten easier?

I feel like since becoming aware of the symptoms the struggle has only worsened, despite always considering myself decently self-aware.

I don’t know if it’s just the compounding responsibilities of work, marriage, parenthood, and adulthood. Or if it’s some weird permanent brain fog from covid. Or a tangible side effect of being plugged into crypto almost 24/7 for three years. Or just a dwindling sense of agency and direction and control of emotions.

But it’s been six years now that I’ve seen three therapists, one psychiatrist with a brief round of antidepressants, and tried numerous tools and tricks yet it all feels like it’s falling apart.

Where did I go wrong?

I saw a video once and they talked about all of the tasks that people with adhd find most difficult, and how, if you can afford to, there should be no shame in offloading those tasks to liberate the rest of your mind. I’m unfortunately not in a position to do most of these things but if I could afford them I would: 

1) door to door laundry service
2) ready to eat meal service
3) house cleaner
