Reply to comment by Kirdei in LPT: Anytime that you are going to ask someone over to your place (either a date or a friend), always clean your place before asking. If they say yes, it’s already clean. If they say no, at least you can feel happy about a clean space. by Snow5Penguin

Judging by the negative comments I think the real LPT is: don’t be disabled, don’t have children, don’t have a busy life. Everything’s easier that way and your house can be clean enough for random internet strangers to approve of you! Really though, I would be happy to turn my ADHD off so I could manage life and having a clean house 24/7. Unfortunately life just doesn’t work that way for some of us

Unfortunately not. I legitimately can't understand how my mom kept a clean house when I was growing up.

I suspect my parents both have undiagnosed adhd, our house was rarely clean growing up, its a foreign concept to me

I suspect I have undiagnosed ADHD, but my doctor didn't take it seriously when I brought it up. Prescribed me some meds, but they were priced way outside what I could afford. Best I can do in my house is mildly controlled chaos.

Adhd is such a struggle because it has huge impacts in every area of ones life yet its almost never taken seriously. I had a few teachers growing up suggest I get tested but my mom was weirdly against it for whatever reason. I didn’t get diagnosed until last year at 20 years old, medication is going okay, its not perfect but at the very least it has almost cured my crippling anxiety that resulted from 20 years of trying to be normal and failing :)

I'm glad it's helping! My doc said I could get tested, but it'd cost about $1000 and so I'm resigned to just dealing with it for now.
