I'm not gonna lie. I'm going through a divorce and while they're not going to cure me, some of these posts are encouraging.

But my chronic ADHD and anxiety? Yeah no

I mean, even for your chronic ADHD and anxiety. Obviously they can't be cured, but there are coping mechanisms and treatments for every ailment. You don't arrive at coping mechanisms by shaming yourself by saying I shouldn't be distracted. I should get more work done. Not thinking like that is easier said than done obviously but shaming yourself for not performing because of your disability makes it less likely that you will be able to cope with and treat your disability. (I say this is someone with both ADHD and anxiety)
