[quote=Anonymous]Op here. Wow, this really blew up. I’m going to try to let this die down after this but thought I’d respond generally to a few things.

I treat (ie medicate, meet with a doctor regularly and meditate and exercise) my ADHD to the best of my abilities. I don’t spend my executive functioning energy on editing my posts here, so sorry for that.

While I don’t tend to be overly anxious generally, I did find it EXTREMELY anxiety provoking that this happened with my manager and that I offended a woman (likely multiple women) I deeply respect. I actually find the idea that some of you could have a conversation like this with your manager and not find it stressful very foreign to how my reactions and emotions work. I also find the bar being perfection to be stressful.

Next, I understand the poster who noted I seem more concerned about my experience than harm done to others and understand that perspective. I’m not really sure what I can do to mitigate harm to others at this point.

In terms of whether my job is overwhelming, generally no, and whether I like it, generally yes. But sometimes (including two of these circumstances) things come up that make it harder. For instance, in one case I had to take over leading a project through an important phase, with a few quick deadlines, when the project lead was out sick unexpectedly for two weeks.

Finally, my manager and I talked today and it was a big relief not to be anticipating the conversation. It generally went well with honest feedback / discussion (both praise and advice) about work and she offered some really helpful suggestions to a few things I brought up. It reaffirmed for me that, despite my recent concerns, I’m glad she kept me as one of the people she manages.
