Anyone else feel like their ADHD was always there but got progressively worse as an adult? (lemmy.world)

I just wonder if it actually did get worse or it just seems like that because as an adult you have a lot more on your plate than you did when you were a kid/teen

Sounds like you have to be sponsored by a company to make the move though via a business visa? That still basically only happens to people in high paying jobs.

You're in a high paying career and knew someone in the country, that made things way easier for you, and indiscriminately giving the advice that people should emigrate makes you sound like a privileged tool.

The negativity is immense - why are you seeking such an adversarial interaction?

What am I supposed to suck your dick for giving out terrible advice that only a small proportion of the population can follow through on? I'm literally just telling you how you actually come across. Hear it or don't.
