There's a lot of stuff that traces back to childhood and the 20,000 negative messages more that you receive as an ADHD child than you do.
And as a father of an ADHD child that when he's coming down from his medication is very hard to manage, those messages come out.
You can't avoid them.
And, you know, I think that then triggers that cycle of not being enough, always trying to search for more.

He's doing really successfully at his sales job, really pleasant guy, and he's not kind of in that sad state at all.
He is very much about, you know, if I've been able to control my task paralysis or my procrastination,

What could I have done?
