minus-squareChris@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down1·1 month agoAgreed. I do feel like I’m a child but I didn’t think it was ADHD related. It’s because I can’t get anything done as an adult. I have to pay quarterly taxes and it never happens on time so I get a penalty every year. Just one example.
