You Need Professional Help | Words I Told Myself | André Brisson

My first job, my only engineering job, really supported my ADHD symptoms. They wanted to create something new. They let me have free if I wanted to try something. They said, fine. So it really worked until they came to a stagnant growth. They were happy where they were, and that's where it wasn't working for me, because they wouldn't want to try something new or broaden their horizons. And being a learner, I just love devouring and figuring out stuff and I could do it quick and then become an expert. And then we got a new service. ADC was kind of in the back of my mind, but when at that time, when I realized that, I looked at myself, said, something's really badly wrong with you. You need to get professional help. I just remember saying that. And that's when I turn around, walked out, and I did a call with my doctor and we started, got me to psychiatrist and we started talking there. And he says, you got borderline personality traits. I looked it up. Oh, that person. Someone with borderline personality disorder. That sounds like me.
