I have ADHD, and most people _mis_understand it. They are familiar with some of the symptoms, like that it’s hard to focus, but completely unfamiliar with others, like that having an hour appointment in the afternoon can basically block out your entire day. I rely on and even thrive with medication, but there’s a nationwide Ritalin shortage that has basically kept me from working for the past month while I figure out a new medication.

Came here to see if anyone had mentioned ADHD. So much misunderstanding. The name of it doesn’t help either.
Sorry to hear about the Ritalin shortage. Going without meds for more than a week super sucks. (I’m on vyvanse though).
Call it EDD (executive dysfunction disorder) which is a part of ADD and you’ll find more people want to know what it is and don’t just assume.
