Self Discovery

So I realized today that I set myself up for failure, hoping I could manage it, thinking I would have more support with a position. I just left. I've been doing the procrastination course (or whatever you call it) and realized that I was set up for failure because of the conditions I entered into that position. I'm good at crisis situations, I'm good at working hard when there are clear expectation, but when everything on my to do list is "High priority" I shut down. You have no idea how reassuring this is to me and encouraging. I feel stupid that I'm just figuring this out but a month ago I felt like a total failure. Today I understand the tools I need to move forward and reach for my goals again What discoveries have you made as you learned more about your symptoms?

Two discoveries I’ve made about myself since diagnosis, which both annoy the crap out of me. 1. All of my so-called “quirks” are actually ADHD symptoms. You could read the DSM-5 definition of ADHD and it pretty much just describes my entire personality. 2. I am always going to have a very hard time with jobs like my current one, where I have to account for my time down to the minute and what projects I spend it on.

I've got a similar thing, when I've got many important big things on my to do list, it's so overwhelming I'm starting to procrastinate like craaazy and sometimes I can do literally nothing for days. I've learned that I need to have like 2 or 3 super simple tasks on my list so it's not scary anymore.
