I believe we require those fillers in order to accommodate our needs. Performing at 40% require the other 60% for recovery. As a mgr of 6 ntwrk engineers, some hard issues need recovery time.

Idk if it’s exactly the same, but for me my PDA takes out all the joy from the things I love and want to do. I’m a musician as well and I’m still committed to music bc it’s my biggest passion, but yes, I feel like I simply cant practice as much as I’m “supposed to” bc of PDA. As soon as it becomes a demand, I don’t want to do it, even tho I really care about it. I get by just fine bc of my relative pitch and get invalidated by everyone when I say I feel like I’m not living up to my capacity lol.

Yep. I have grief feeling like I’ve watched my life pass me by…convincing myself that I don’t have dreams because I know I’ll never have the proper motivation to actually achieve them. Relateable 🥺

We’re so smart that we’re really good at a lot of things very quickly. But to be better than good requires effort and effort is intimidating…cont

I just made myself. I'm auDHD too. And I power through and then rest. I started voice lessons again. I also have a muse that helps me. It's grief though. I'm 57. I don't have a choice. I couldn't live

Yep. Can’t even figure out how to get myself to do the hobbies that I love when I have time alone and energy. Apparently having fun is a demand 🙃

I convinced my mom to let me take regular English over advanced. The only difference was the length of essays, and there was no true benefit. “Apply yourself” 🙄

yes definitely I know I could be amazing in many things but I can’t get myself to do anything until right before the hand in panic sets in and then I still get good grades but I could be great

This sounds so much like me, and it’s so hard to explain to people who don’t have ADHD. Like I physically can’t bring myself to do it.

It’s different for me—valedictorian of my high school class, Phi Beta Kappa in college, part of a PhD from an Ivy, multiple other partial and full degrees, and no career. I can’t raise kids…

Yep. Test scores say I should be rich. I’m not. I suspect I was only good at tests because of pattern recognition. 😬

I’m still sorting through this and similar things, the grieving in particular. I have complicated feelings about my so called potential and my actual capacity. There’s a pernicious ‘should’ that live-

For me it's "The house is clean but not all rooms will be organized. Wake 3 hrs in advance, I get to work/class 5 mins late cuz I can't handle passing of time. I get A's online classes only"
