Popping in because I'm curious how ADHD and FIRE mix. I was just diagnosed, and I feel like a truck of obvious just hit me.
I was initially diagnosed with anxiety and episodic depression. It took years, feeling like the odd one out in anxiety-group-therapy, never feeling like my therapist *really* understood, and my own continuous feeling of "Something just doesn't add up" before a friend mentioned ADHD. (Heck, I'd read *half* a book on Organization for ADHD and kept thinking "These strategies are so great! These aren't just for people with ADHD, they're so useful!" over a year ago and did not connect the dots.)
It's clear to me now that the anxiety and depression were consequences of the ADHD, at least for me. The Reddit subforum for ADHD has been eye opening for how much the ADHD affects my life.
Anyway, outside of the generally unhelpful medical system, it seems like those of us who'd like to FIRE with ADHD may have some particular struggles. I am on a part-time path to regular-aged retirement instead of FIRE because of the difficulties I have with both full time work and not-working-at-all (I do well with a moderate amount of outside structure). MMM/FIRE has allowed me to "design my life" so it's not as stressful even before I knew I had ADHD, but I was left with a nagging feeling that it was impossible to "design my life" in a way where I'd actually feel happy. I don't know if treatment is going to help, still working on dosage with the doc, and I need to find a therapist who actually knows anything about ADHD.
