It's this kind of ignorant f$cking crap that hurts everyone that has ADD/ADHD or any other 'subtle' disability. You know what, doing sh$t you don't like is part of f$cking life, and it's hard when I can't focus enough to do the things that I need to get done, or want to get done because I can't stay on track. I have ADD and right now because I'm poor, I'm unmedicated. Organizing my life has become a monumental effort, with much failure. I have to take copious amounts of notes, create schedules and lists for myself. Is even that working perfectly? no it's not. Being a child is doing whatever you want when you want. Being a functional person is having the wisdom and SELF CONTROL to do what you need to. The goal of treating any psychosomatic disorder is not to drug you into compliance. It's to allow you to be a functioning person. To make you a happier person. My disorder has ruined two jobs and I could probably trace it back to numerous relationship troubles. I'm not trying to blame my misfortune on my disability. I blame my mistakes on myself. For trying to believe all these other pricks, that said 'if I just tried harder' or 'you just have you focus' or 'don't you care enough?'

I'm done trying to conform, or be a victim. I'm trying to live a happy life.
