It was mostly ADHD that gave me problems with self esteem but the added bipolar as well led to frustation of not managing work as well as I knew possible. Nobody called me lazy, the problem was that i was not socially included.
Now I tell about my ADHD, that is me, and it feels alright. But bipolar - still feel vulnerable about it. Even more with explaining that it is manic depression.Need to feel still more confident.
