I did not know this was a thing, but it explains so much.

I’ve learned to give up on smaller things if an initial complaint doesn’t go anywhere, just because it isn’t worth my rage and frustration (which will still happen but I have to redirect), but bigger things (like blatant and illegal discrimination) I will never let go of, even when there is no more fight left (because I can’t afford to take a multi-billion pound company to court), at the very least I will never use that company again (no matter how much inconvenience it causes me). Which is absurd, because they don’t give a shit, but I know I’m standing by what’s right.

I hate this shit so much, but then I get this voice in my head telling me that if I don’t fight no on will and another exploitative scummy company will get away with fucking people over. Which I realise isn’t all my responsibility, but I just can’t help it.

I have quite a few Google reviews that would agree with you.

My god, that is absolutely something I have. It’s something I struggle with every single day working gig jobs that exploit people but provide necessary freedom right now. Whether it’s Uber’s masterclass in exploitative UX or just restaurant treating me or other people poorly I’m almost constantly angry when I’m working and it’s so hard to let go. I’ve complained to Uber about issues, written poor yelp reviews, etc. but no one actually cares so I feel powerless and voiceless. The best thing I can do is blacklist places that disrespectful of people and shove my anger at the gig company in a box until I can escape this situation.

For me I have the urge to stand up but I can’t bring myself to on many occasions and beat myself up about for too long.

It’s gotten easier to stand up about things since I started taking meds.

In fact thinking back on it since I started my meds I’ve stood up almost every time.

Honestly life has gotten so much easier and better since then it’s kinda crazy.

I wish I had gotten around to scheduling the appointment sooner.

I can’t look past the wrongs I see happening around me. I will call them out if I see them. I will stand up for those who are experiencing mistreatment whenever I can… and use my voice to amplify theirs to the best of my ability. \2

This one’s affected me quite a lot in life. Mostly isolating me and limiting my close friends.

Do you have more information on that? I think I might have that, it also interacts in a vicious cycle with my emotional sensitivity (which is something I know most people with ADHD have)

I have that big time. There are some things so big and unjust that a phone call cannot fix them, and they make me furious
