Yeah, totally.

And so like if you have the claim of like, oh, you can't say anything anymore.

Everyone's just going to get mad at you.

It's like you're kind of implying that they're not allowed to say what they're saying to you.

That's also them exercising their freedom of speech to say I didn't like that and that's okay.

And if that's offensive to you, you can't get mad because your whole thing is you should be able to say anything.

Yes.

So it kind of becomes a little bit of like a paradox when comedians get mad at people for –

for fighting back against their jokes because you go, well, that's them also doing the thing that you say we should all be allowed to do.

Yeah, it kind of reached a point where I thought that a lot of my behaviors were just stress induced.

And I thought that when I made mistakes or when I missed things or when I was just like disorganized in my life, it was like it was just because I have a lot going on.

And that's true.

That is true to an extent.

But what I realize is that stress is one of those things that just exacerbates ADHD symptoms.

So I had worked out all these coping mechanisms to, like, deal with structures in my life that were difficult when things weren't hard.

But when they got hard, I felt like I really copped it.

And so it just kind of – my partner has ADHD as well.

And, I mean, the real story is, which is probably not the fun – well, not even the fun story, but, like, I basically just tried his five ants and went –

oh, I feel like I can do things.

And it was just like an eye-opening moment and being medicated for it.
