The thing with ADHD is not lack of intelligence, often many even have genius IQ's, what it is is lack of patience to focus on one thing over and over again. They literally get bored, they like motion and change.

Yea lack of intelligence has never been the issue currently though I’m doing better with my own research on coping mechanisms and as much as people sometimes say there are way around meds for me specifically by some miracle I’ve been in my job now for 11 months around month 8 ish or so I came very close to quitting due to not being able to get my Normal amount of meds for 2 months ever since about a month and a half ago I was finally able to get my normal level of adderall and tried effexor for the first time for the anxiety and OCD I have and between those two I believe they may have saved me in conjunction with coping mechanisms, research, and my slightly nonstandard sales job. Though truthfully I am afraid to trust it because after so long of doing this kind of thing even I know I’m not reliable and it could change between one week and the next even if I don’t want it to [emoji58]
