I've recently been moved in my job. I was finding the role too stressful and now I'm doing something less intense. It wasn't my choice. My employer made the decision and of course they don't know my suspicions aboutADHD. Over and over I've left jobs because they got too much as I always choose quite dynamic paths. My current role is quiter and I've invested in some loops so I feel less tired today but very much looking back over my patchy career wondering if I now understand why.
I’ve been wondering about them but I think I’d get anxious about missing something I need to hear. For example, on the rare occasions I listen to a podcast on the train I have it really quiet so I can hear any announcements on the tannoy.
Oh yes, the abundance of attention. My current meds have quietened the number of thoughts bouncing for supreme attention. However the action starter still needs to be told firmly to get going on Most things.
It’s curious how the name could have been made the opposite of the reality. My understanding is that medication can make a real difference but is only one part of the jigsaw to helping ADHDers manage and live well.

Loops have been a bit of a game changer for me too. I was sceptical at first but they definitely help with the "exhausted brain" thing

Less intense and less tired sounds like a positive step forward, Claire. Joining the dots backwards can be enlightening and discombobulating x
