The ADHD, even medicated, is a constant presence. My executive function is still rubbish. I have calendar notifications set for things like taking a shower and eating meals - not as suggestions, but as genuine reminders I actually need. My sister reminds me to drink water. The external scaffolding I've built around myself isn't optional: it's how I function. Without the ticketing system, the calendar, the reminders, the routines - things don't get done.
I'm still working on finding the right medication cocktail, which is its own ongoing saga. As of right now, my ADHD meds were just adjusted and I am an absolute mess - which is why I took last week off work. My sister helps me enormously. Having that support network matters more than I can express.
