i used to think this way until very recently and i was diagnosed multiple times over 20 years a lot keeps going wrong in my life and its not because im not struggling or trying im either fucking up on accident via adhd habits causing it or something just isnt clicking with how i need to go about things being in this sub and seeing other stories very similar to mine has really made it hit home that adhd has done a severe number on my life and a lot of it was needlessly chalked up to i dont try enough i dont do enough im not smart enough  i do try and i do struggle ive just got a block and life is relentless
