for people who have actually been diagnosed with a mix of adhd/ocd/autism can someone validate or invalidate my frustrations please? I experience so many things that I wonder if I'm lazy or if it really is a medical issue.
-maladaptive daydreaming
-poor planning skills(once in while I can chunk my day into things but I have never been capable of using a planner and I forget it even exists)
-poor organization skills (I don't know how to get normal things organized everyday like chores or prioritize things)
-difficult learning information ( I can read pages of text from nonfiction or fiction books and it's like the sims talking on paper. I don't comprehend at all. Or when people tell me things I again the sims garble. Happens a lot. Or when I learned algebra I could learn it better than a lot of people but I couldn't solve problems in different order/out of order)
-I make a goal for myself, even break it down, but I have no clue why I can't remember that I have a goal. I'll write it on sticky notes next my bed or bathroom mirror and I forget I exists)
-I get lost driving way too easily I can't seem to grab where objects or places are more than most of the time)
-I focus on meaningless tasks or thoughts that I know aren't important.
-I can't retain new info my mind goes blank
-I don't understand jokes a lot or feelings like empathy when something bad happens I know to feel empathy but I don't really feel it. Or I have trouble connecting an emotion to the word, for the longest time I didn't know what fatigue actually meant.
-I'm so stuck on topics I research it but then I drop it and then a few months or years later I'm so interested in it again, I'm not sure if it is a genuine interest or not.
-I can't express my ideas into words like I am terrible at storytelling because there is no beginning or middle or end it's just jumbled.
And a lot more. I put these here because I went to a psychologist to diagnose me but I still feel like I just don't control myself and my brain controls me. I just want to be fixed
