Do you have people around you that think they have ADHD but they clearly dont, or have it at a much lower level than you? (sh.itjust.works)

My diagnosis actually said mine is low level, which i dont trust and im pretty sure I just am good at faking the test and its much worse than it looks.

My friend kind of thinks everyone just has adhd but they dont understand the level at which i have it. Like they can focus for a 16 hour workday- there's no fucking way I could do that, I can barely do 9 and most of it is not real work either.

I’m unmedicated (working on it) and work is brutal. It doesn’t help that I disagree at a deep philosophical level with a lot of the people I work with, and I’m trans sill working the job and with the people I actively transitioned around. Every day is a fucking marathon. Only saving grace is that for half my day I’m able to wear headphones and am doing something that is both very physical and somewhat creative. That alone makes me want to keep the job even though the pay is shit (the reason I’m not medicated).

Oof, I'm so sorry. It's so hard to work around people you deeply disagree with on a philosophical or moral level, and I won't even pretend to understand your struggles as a trans person in this world. Good luck to you, and I hope you can find access to the medications or treatments you need.

Thanks for the kind words! Good luck to you too! I’m white, so honestly my day to day as a trans person is pretty neutral (not for long probably), it’s just odd being around people that I know struggle with actually seeing people as they want to be seen, especially when they knew the “old” you.
