I guess I get to remind myself that I have a real (and actually fairly serious) disability rather than I'm simply not trying hard enough (which is something I often think about this area). I used to think my ADHD wasn't particularly severe but according to my diagnostician it is "moderate" (on a scale I think is fairly arbitrary?). I think I've just been good at compensating, at what is a huge personal cost.
Also after the "huge personal cost" I'm pretty sure I have cPTSD from the whole thing, it's never going to get diagnosed but I'm pretty sure I get various kinds of flashbacks from the whole thing as well as difficulties with emotional regulation. That also takes spoons which I might have had available with only-ADHD
