❌ Crying every day at work and having full breakdowns when you get home because there's still so much to do
❌ Chronically job-hopping every 6-18 months because you can't make it past the "novelty period" before burnout hits
❌ Coming home exhausted and immediately becoming a vegetable on the couch with zero energy for anything else
❌ Feeling like you're broken because everyone else makes 40-hour work weeks look effortless while you're barely surviving
❌ Weekend doom spirals where you're too anxious to leave your apartment or do anything productive
❌ Constant guilt and shame about needing more breaks, being "high maintenance," or not being able to keep up like "normal" people

✅ Making it past the 3-6 month mark without hitting complete burnout or wanting to quit
✅ Actually having energy after work to cook dinner, see friends, or do things you enjoy
✅ Understanding exactly when and how to take breaks without feeling guilty or worried coworkers judge you
✅ Working in a role that fits your brain instead of constantly fighting against your ADHD to fit into neurotypical workplace expectations
✅ Having realistic routines that account for "bad brain days" instead of rigid systems that fall apart the moment things get hard
✅ Feeling confident asking for what you need (flexible hours, WFH days, quiet workspace) because you know how to frame it professionally
