Having a hard time at work lately. I’m at a fairly low dose for my meds and they just aren’t working, so I keep making mistakes. I perform lab experiments daily, so a simple mistake can cost me an entire day’s work and a lot of expensive resources. An incredibly simple mistake almost cost my entire team three weeks worth of work and thousands of dollars yesterday, luckily we were able to recover with only some lost time. I almost broke down crying when it happened.

Home is also rough rn. My husband’s grandfather (99 years old!) is passing, and we know this weekend will be the last time we see him. Canada has really good assistive death policies and he is at that point, he just wants one more family get together for his birthday. My husband is very close with his grandpa so this has been horrible on him.

I'm really sorry about your work struggles and your husband's painful situation. It's tough when you have ADHD and have to be so precise and careful at work. I'm guessing that the stress of what your husband is going through might affecting your attention at work - at least I know stress is killer for my ability to function. May this last weekend with his grandfather be exactly what you both need. My heart goes out to you.
