I didn't realize I was under surveillance
You shut your god damned accurate mouth.
NEVERRRRRRRR!
I'll go for the "Don't get diagnosed" and "Kill yourself in your 30s" strat.
Edit: For anybody actually trying to unassigned variable themselves, please be adviced. There are CEOs on your way out and be carefully NOT to take any of them with you. That would be AWFULL and HIGHLY illegal. We ABSOLUTELY DESPERATELY need those CEOs, so please be carefull with them.
Same, thou I'm not sure I can wait out the last couple years to 30. Might be fun to have my birthday be my deathday tho
You uh...ok? It does not sound fun to have your birthday be your death day :(.

I'm deep in phase 2, just building up to phase 3 I think.
ADHD memes do seem to resonate with me, but I'm not sure I experience the deleterious effects to a severe enough extent to really have diagnosable ADHD.
Even if I am, I'm not sure stimulants would be the right way to go, and I'm already doing my best with ADHD style interventions to support productivity et cetera.
Stimulants aren't the only solution, they're just the solution with the most obviois results
Stimulants best short term, management strategies and lifestyle changes best long term

I've passed the third section and moved into the fourth, horrible section. "Diagnosed ADHD but no medication will work."
Went through most if not all of the stimulant treatments 15+ years ago. The most reaction I got was panic attacks for routine stuff at work. In the meantime depression has taken over, with similar lack of response to treatment.
I feel like I'm an onion inside of a Russian nesting doll stuck in a can of worms that tumbled out of Pandora's box and down the stairs to be kicked around the neighborhood by bored old timey kids before getting stuck in a storm drain and abandoned.
Maybe what you're experiencing is an accurate emotional assessment of the state of our society.
Wtf .. is this real?
I got diagnosed recently and don't want my job back. Freelancing is the way to go. Stay away from corporate culture, stay strong.

No some of us have been failures our whole lives, thank you very much.
Yeah! There are dozens of us!
Baker's dozens, even!
I screwed up and am stuck deep in 2. I even screwed up a miraculous way out with this awesome startup. And I was diagnosed in kindergarten! No drugs, I’m healthy, just… Yeah.
I wish I could subscribe to this community over and over.
Yeah I swear if they take away my meds and say just get over it
Yep. But at least my life makes perfect sense now. Everything just seems so clear now.
Nothing quite like the feeling of a dumpster fire coming into perfect focus around you.
