41 The Disappointment of Success

Success is a complicated topic for AuDHD folks. We're often not praised for what feels the most difficult. Then sometimes told we did an amazing job for something that didn't feel like a big deal.

AuDHD folks often also struggle to achieve traditional success in the workplace and relationships, in large part due to stigma and being disabled by societal factors.

Then, once we actually achieve some kind of success, it can feel way less good than we expected.

It's totally okay to have dreams (big or small)! And it's also useful to ask better questions about why and what we're hoping for once we get there.
