ADHD is not a reason not to put in effort. I have ADHD and I put in so fucking much effort all the time, just to do normal stuff. No one let’s us off the hook for shit just because we have ADHD. The best we get are meds that aren’t addictive to us and help a lot, but we’re treated like drug addicts or dealers for wanting, and have barriers put in the way of getting them that only really hurt people with ADHD. There’s no real benefit to being diagnosed incorrectly, so this take just pisses me off and looks like more ignorant pearl clutching.
This. It’s always been tons of effort for me, just with little results, at least when I finally broke down and first got my depression diagnosis, then went to seek more answers.
With medication and a lot of therapy, it’s now more results and paradoxically less effort as I now try to pace myself instead of putting all of my resources out there all the time.

the idea that someone needs an excuse to not put in effort is funny
