    It took me two years to pick up five quarters that I dropped on the driver’s side of my car when I got my change back at a coffee place.

    For two whole fucking years, the noise, sight, and presence of those dropped coins irritated me and stole my peace of mind.

    It took me only a few seconds to pick up those coins when I finally decided to. I don’t know why I didn’t pick them up before.

    ADHD is a horrible disease and it makes life hard for me and for those around me.

      Yeah. It is high time all people recognized that just as body can malfunction, mind can also, and this is not going to be wished or waived away as laziness, occasional lack of phocus, bad mood and so on and so forth
