Hello. Is there anyone here who works in architecture field that is clinically diagnosed with ADHD/ADD?

Ever since my uni era, I've been struggling so much to work thru the system. I've been lacking of focus and motivation to do what I had to do(even I was trying so hard to accomplish things and was always burnt out. I think I possibly had anxiety and depression back then(not to self diagnosed but I just want to stress how bad it was for me). Right now, I am learning to push my way thru my apprenticeship without getting depressed or burnout, it's a tad bit better compared before, but I am still struggling. I had to go back and forth to check my work which is taking me so much time because I always miss the smallest details. It's draining for me because it takes so much effort and mental load just to make my work decent. But yeah, I am still contemplating if this field is for me(been thinking about this since uni days, but can't drop it yet due to practicality & security reasons- life's hard in ph huhu) or prolly I just need a therapy(eyyy 🤙 hehe) Though, I'm already trying to get a proper diagnosis hehe (ˊ˘ˋ\*)

I just want to ask if you experience the same? What are your struggles and/or coping mechanisms that you can share or any tips that helped you. And what changed after getting properly diagnosed? Thank you so muuuuch!

I hope we can all be kind hereee and i hope y'all have a good one! (⁠⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

Hello. Is there anyone here po na nasa architecture field na clinically diagnosed with ADHD?

I am struggling po kasi and is currently trying to get a proper diagnosis. Ever since college, sobrang hirap po for me magfocus at ang dami kong maliliit na details na namimiss. I had to go back and forth para lang macheck kung may mali and nakakapagod po talaga. Sobrang frustrating na bawat check mo may makikita kang mali. I'm starting to dread the work esp pag nabuburnout nang malala which is ang laki ng chance kasi I need extra effort para maayos ang work. Hindi ko naman po basta mabitawan nang for practicality reasons kasi nasa apprenticeship na po ako and I would like to have some sort of security kasi ang hirap po ng bohai sa Felepens. I don't know if need ko lang ng professional help(and I'll be fine) or hindi lang po talaga para sa akin ang field na ito.

So, I'd like to ask if ganon din po ba ang experience niyo? Can I ask for anything related sa ADHD struggles niyo sa field and kung may tips kayo to regulate/healthy coping mechanism na pwede niyo i-share? Thank you pooo in advance!

(I really hope we can all be kind here po. Thank you so muuuch! (ˊ˘ˋ*))
