ADHD people often have issues with their personal lives in terms of maintaining a sense of organization. And just completing the necessary tasks of living. Sometimes ADHD people get forgetful about paying bills or sending in paper work on time. And that can lead to financial issues, interpersonal issues. Losing track of just the business of living life. Forgetting to pay a bill can lead to all kinds of problems which just further compound the issues of ADHD. ADHD people are sometimes messy, disorganized. Lots of piles around their living space. This is personally been a big issue for me that I've been working on conquering. It's not uncommon for ADHD people to lose money in terms of losing a gift card or gift certificate or literally, physically misplacing cash. Misplacing other items that they have to come to pay for because they assume the item is lost. There is a great amount of personal disorganization that gets to be overwhelming. It's already hard enough to complete a small task. And when doing the dishes, compounds into, I have to clean up the kitchen entirely. It can make things all the more overwhelming for somebody with ADHD.
