I question your theory that someone with all those diagnoses would be nonfunctioning.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I was gonna say, I'm not sure what all is wrong with me, but I have a full time job and become a useless lump when I go home because at work I hold my executive dysfunction at bay for fear of losing my job. Then I go home and collapse onto the couch and grow roots until it's time to haul my ass to work again.

And everyone in my family (including my parents) who was diagnosed with that stuff and similar were productive members of society who died when their "coping" methods killed them.

[(Anonymous)]

Same here. I've become a pro at putting "the face" on while I'm at work and appearing super confident and bubbly because I need the money and they wouldn't want me if they had my actual wibbly depressed anxious mess of a self. When I shut the doors at closing time it's like a balloon deflating, because I can finally stop puffing myself up and faking it. Then I get to put headphones on and clean in peace, best part of the day.

I'm very sorry for your losses, anon. <3

I'm sorry you deal with the same stuff. I have an understanding boss and coworkers so I don't always have to mask so hard at work.

But I envy you your ability to clean as a coping method. When I finally landed a full time job, my already patchy ability to keep my house not a horrorshow went poof. I'm just glad to keep myself clean and fed in clean clothes.

Yeah, I was reading the earlier parts of this secret and thinking "maybe I should comment and explain some things" and then I got to that part and just kind of thought "Oh. One of those."

I've got three of the four OP listed (not depressed as far as I know), a few they didn't, and I'm fairly sure I have at least one thing I haven't figured out what it is yet, and I can hold down a 40 hour a week job.

It's incredibly unpleasant, and I question how neurotypicals apparently manage to not only do this but keep up with hobbies and a social life and raising children and a proper sleep schedule all in the same 168 hours a week I've got -- but still, I'm not anywhere near a "useless blob wedged in a corner".

[(Anonymous)]

Same, although I'm not autistic- ADHD, depressed, anxious- and I work part time, volunteer part time, run a community, write books, right now am making plans to buy a house, generally live my life in a way that makes me happy. Any and all of these conditions can prevent someone from working or participating in fandom or whatever, but that for sure doesn't make them a "useless lump." The judgment in that phrase alone.

[(Anonymous)]

Right? I’m disabled, previous job was full time, currently working part time and looking for another full time position. My partner works full time with more than one diagnosis too.

Shoutout to disabled people whose disabilities do prevent them from working (and/or neurodivergent people with similar experiences), doesn’t make you any less of someone I’d like to meet as a fandom friend. OP shouldn’t assume someone’s capabilities based on a diagnosis… or take it upon themself to measure capabilities in such unkind terms.
