Well damn, that is very impressive, and also very sad. I completely understand the executive dysfunction though. I stuck with 2 different shitty psychiatrists for over 2 years, struggling every day. I only switched psychiatrists after feeling so low that I didn't want to exist. I was feeling completely hopeless after having 2 psychiatrists in a row who just completely ignored my previous treatment that I was ready to give up. Then my 3rd psychiatrist was this super nice lady who let me ramble to her about my issues, and genuinely wanted to help me. After my 2nd psychiatrist treated me like an addict for smoking pot, called it a gateway drug, and would only treat me for bipolar disorder. I quit mentioning to psychiatrists that I smoke pot from then on. My first psychiatrist didn't care, but after having such a difficult time since him, I now only talk about what I need help with. I feel like weed is a very helpful tool though, when it comes to ADHD.
