    Reached out to a friend about a lecturing opportunity… forgot to reply to it for three days… now it’s two weeks later and I’m terrified.

    Fuck you, brain!

      Funny. ADHD is actually a recognized affliction in the DSM. And while BPD has been there for ages, it’s actually drawn a lot of criticisms over the years as many psychologists consider it to be a “grab bag” disorder and not a real thing.

      The issue is that there is no real standardized “test” for ADHD. Most of the time it falls on the specific therapist or psychologist to make that judgement. The tests coming back “inconclusive” is a huge red flag tbh.

      It’s a shame you’ve went through life with the wrong diagnosis ☹️

    I feel this. I had projects I had to work on that I pushed off cause I didn’t think they were due any time soon. But also, I didn’t know when they were due. Cut to the day before they’re due and somebody asking me my ETA…

    I have gotten much better about this btw.

    Not me forgetting my work computer password, locking my account out, puttering around all day, then not wanting to bother our IT guy because it’s Friday afternoon and leaving it until Monday.
