I am supposed to turn in a major project, and I’m so far behind. I have adhd and my executive dysfunction has been out of control for weeks. I am already two days past the deadline, and nobody has called me on it yet, but the minute they do shit will hit the fan.
I’m scrambling to pull something together, but it’s not going to be enough.
Yeah, there’s no shame in having problems with a project. A lot of times, as your manager sees that you’re competent, they’ll give you harder projects that nobody else could do. Not in a bad way, just because they’re trying to find the right performance level to manage your time.
Even if it’s an easy task that you just had problems getting with… that happens. Keep your cool, don’t make too many excuses, and keep other people informed.
