    For some (like me) it’s less “overcome” and more “manage to the best of my ability”.

    Sometimes I will forget something important. I forget interactions with people the next fucking day. I sit and scroll for hours on my phone and scream internally to get the fuck up and just not be able to.

    Certain things help. But you can definitely be more then a leach.

      Yep, but you’re trying. No one with actual ADHD is ever going to fully overcome it. I’m referring to the people who magically have crippling ADHD when it comes to being responsible with anything (Chores, a job, etc.) But if its something they want to do they’re magically fine. They can listen to instructions and follow them keenly when their family is taking them paragliding, but they couldn’t wash a dish for 8 seconds.

        That’s part of ADHD for a lot of people: hyperfixation/focus on topics that interest them, and struggles otherwise.
