As ADHDers, I don't think there's an aspect of our lives that it doesn't touch. I've been doing a lot of thinking the past week as my first assessment visit is approaching and been thinking about the impacts it has had. It touches everything.

I got distracted making coffee this morning and almost poured the grounds in the water tank. Then after making the coffee, it sat in the machine for an hour and a half because I got focused on something else.
Constant fear and adrenaline fueled "3am the day it's due" starts for assignments in uni, and eventual burnout and dropping out of Uni (I finished with some interesting open learning subjects almost 10 years later, but *only* because I needed a degree for sponsorship).
Self care struggles. I have a missing front tooth because I dental hygiene wasn't something I could persistently manage on my own without prompting. I brush daily now, but that's because my SO makes me right before bed. We do it together.
Same with showering. How do I sit there, saying "I really need a shower", yet don't do it, or sit with headache suffering when I just have to get up walk into the other room and have access to headache relief.
I've lost my job, quit my job before I lost it, or feared losing it too many times, crashed out of one with burnout so bad I just stopped turning up. After 3-6 months, it became a struggle just to keep doing the thing. Best job was incident response. Each day was a clean slate.
But that job came with it's own costs. Running on adrenaline constantly, putting out fires, racing the clock. It was stressful, but interesting. I've known for a long time that interest was a key thing for me. Computers are a long term interest of mine.
I've drifted from job to job, always looking for the next dose of interest, and excitement. I try to create that with side projects, and have done some amazing stuff, but what happens when the side project is more interesting that the job?
That's where the focus goes, the job suffers again. Cycles repeat. I don't even think I need to go into relationships. We've all experienced the stress and strain created there (lazy, forgetful, don't care), esp when we ourselves are not aware of why we just can't do the thing.
I've internalized so much negative self talk about myself, I could fill volumes. It was only last year, through twitter and sharing experiences I could even put a name to the thing that had stalked my life for so long.
I was worried I'd have little to say to the psych, but honestly I think once I get started I won't be able to stop. I haven't even scratched the surface yet.

Every single public defender. Every single day.


Bail arguments, motions, oral arguments, hearings. Judges don’t know, follow, or care about the law. Prosecutors are willing to take advantage of it. And mandatory minimums, withheld evidence, & pretrial detention coerces people to plead before trial. When theres a jury. A shot.

But defenders still fight. And still win. Most times wins aren’t “Justice.” It’s power of repetition of argument in front of same judges. Introducing those in power to the people they oppress. Not just a RAP sheet or words on a page. Defenders make it harder to be brutal & cruel.

I worked as a public defender at an office as well resourced as any in the country. Social workers, team of investigators, a reentry team, support staff, specialist attorneys in immigration, housing, education, family. Relatively low caseloads (80-100). And yet still injustice.

Most think that balancing the scales of justice means more funding for defenders. Thats part of it. Enough a attorneys to actually be at bail hearings. Wrap around services to be able to help people trapped in the system end up better off in their communities. Lower caseloads.
