When I was a child, I was told that I would be such a good student if I just tried harder.
When dopamine - and with it the motivation - was gone, I always blamed myself “I didn't try hard enough” was the explanation I used to explain my unknown ADHD brain until I was diagnosed.
I was never good enough.

Als Antwort auf Coffeedate with ADHD • • •The image is a screenshot of a Reddit post from the subreddit r/highschool. The post is titled "And you don't even know how or why" and is labeled "School Related." Below the title, there is a caption that reads, "How it feels when you realize you went from 'A+ student' to a 'as long as I pass' student." The post features a photograph of a man sitting on a bench. He is wearing a white dress shirt, black tie, and black pants, and is holding a water bottle in his right hand. The man appears to be in a contemplative or dejected pose, with his head slightly bowed and his left arm resting on the bench. The background shows a tiled wall and a concrete floor, suggesting an outdoor or semi-outdoor setting. The image has a black border, and the Reddit interface elements are visible at the bottom, including upvote and downvote buttons, a comment count, and a share button.
...if you look closely, there's a miniature Tom Scott hiding in the shadows.
