When someone without ADHD tells me to “just try to focus”

True story

It took 20 years but I finally found a job that allows me freedom to both take short breaks to help with focus issues. Amazing!

So true: i get in troubleshooters at work for not focussing and for hyperfocussing. I am like what do you want????

Yep I get that in work I'm just there like yeah if my brain actually let's me but it won't so the answer is no 😑

Irritating beyond words

So frustrating

I remember howtoADHD (youtuber) saying ADHD is having focus but struggling to aim that focus — hyperfocus is a thing. But focusing on specific tasks at work? Not always easy!!

For real, my boss literally tells me this on top of asking me why, then when I give him the reason he says I’m making excuses …. Just focus… sure buddy, sure it’s that simple…. “Well it’s not all ADHD” sure it’s just an “organizational & time management issue”

I despise “Why don’t you just…” people

Real

“This IS me trying”

The worst one for me is when someone says “oh we all do that “. Well we all pee too Susan but if you do it 50 times a day there might be a problem. 🤦🏻‍♂️

That’s when I say “oh my gosh why didn’t I think of that” in the most sarcastic way possible.

I need a poster with these words

The worst one is “try harder” 🫣 as if you weren’t already trying twice as hard as everyone else and just keeping your head above water!

Can’t wait for the day us neurodivergent peeps will have the kindness we so desperately need!

Haha yeah it‘s soo easy..🙈

Or just pay attention to what you are doing

It’s worse when it’s professionals. You are joking right???& idiots

Hahahaha

relateable

it also can become really irritating, for people like me, especially

Can relate?

e

Oh that feeling…

They don't understand

Hahaha, so true

Grrrrrr …

Booom! 🤯
