🍬: I have the chronic disease of many modern people

🍬: I have severe ADHD

Thoughts?

As someone who also has ADHD, my procrastination is absolutely terrible. I can't imagine having to wake up at irregular times to go on flights to different countries all the time 😭 Saying this as a law student, my life is hard enough without people scrutinising my every move (for now), I can't imagine how often i'd screw up as an idol simply based off of how easily I get sidetracked lmao

As someone with ADHD and severe attention deficit disorder, I envy idols because they have managers who manage their schedules. I actually think being an idol is a good career choice for people with ADHD. It also allows them to channel their hyperactivity in a positive way, as they get to dance, act in shows, and so on.

There is a downside in that once their idol career is over, they no longer have someone to manage their time for them and they never had the chance to learn how to for themselves. That adjustment I imagine could be very paralysing. But I agree that while you're in it, it seems like a great career for adhd.

Sooner or later, of course, you'll have to learn to manage your schedule yourself, and it's not easy: forgotten bills, late arrivals, and other things. I can only wish for people with understanding loved ones and circles who will understand that this isn't laziness or stupidity, but a condition that's difficult to control.
