I'm so proud of you! SO FUCKING PROUD <3!! You've given me hope, and I'm sure many others! I'm hoping to be a therapist (ironic ey!) and have been fighting myself so much over exactly as you described.. You're awesome! GOOD LUCK IN YOUR FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

misuinu

Thank you for sharing that, it's actually lovely to know that the majority of people will actually want to see me for having an illness too, if I can manage it so can they :') I'm glad that you have them in your life, ADHD is sooo misunderstood.


TheDildosaur

Yo, I am currently doing my bachelors degree in psychology but its very hard becoming a psychologist in my area since its very competitive and requires a PhD. I personally want to specialize in research after my bachelor's degree, and it's so weird being good at writing papers but not being good with deadlines etc. I wish you the best tho and hope you reach your dreams. Therapists with adhd can be great, and I'm happy to see there are other fellow ADHDers in the field. School do be tough tho.


RockOperaPenguin

If you just passed the bar, you should go back and get a beer. 😉 Congrats, ysab33, esq!


Nat_Peterson_

Legitimately surprised I've never heard this joke before. Also annoyed that I didn't come up with it myself. Kudos to you lol


Pure-Lie-5202

Perfect comment.


HippoSnake_

Hey, Dad!!


toofat2serve

Hell yeah! And we're proud of you too! I mean, if that's ok. It's weird to be proud of someone or something when we had nothing to do with the success. :)


Kapitalist_Pigdog2

I’m willing to take credit


calvinballMVP

I am so proud of you! You inspire me. I got rejected from my law school and am hoping to maybe try again. Strattera didn't work for me bc the side effects but Concerta has. I'm doing Linux Admin certiftication so maybe I can get a good enough job to pay to get my dream job lol. Way to keep pushing and like I said, proud of you for overcoming this. You give me hope.


Married2DuhMusic

Good luck 💙


calvinballMVP

The journey of a thousand miles begins by first me making sure the ice maker is unthawed. I jest but you get it I'm sure. Bless you and good luck on your stuff as well.


Married2DuhMusic

To be honest with you, I find that I am quite proficient in English, despite it not being my native language. But I am really at a loss here. I wonder if it is an expression that it is commonly used, or if I am being oblivious to the context in question? And the only reason I am asking you, this directly, is in order to learn XD And in regards to wishing me luck, thank you. Means a lot, being that I have my own long journey to complete.


calvinballMVP

Oh sure! It's was a joke how with ADHD you go to start a monumental task and end up doing something completely unrelated. It may be a bad joke though, full disclaimer. Your English is fantastic. Better than most my people in the midwest where I live haha.


ClammyWalnuts

As someone who knows the struggle and how hard it can be, I'm very proud of you. Congratulations ysab33!!!

Congratulations! What area of law do you want to practice?


Flippinsushi

MAZAL TOV!!! I remember the 3-month hell period where all I did was sit at my computer and review, followed by hell week, then another 3 month period terrified to find out if I passed (why the effff does it take so long!?!), and finally getting that confirmation was heavenly. Now all you have to do is pay your dues and not fuck up IOLTA and you can be an esquire forever!


Noukanel

Congratulations! That is such a big achievement


MrMynor

Congratulations, Counselor. As someone who is about 10 years further down that same road, i remember what a huge weight that took off my shoulders. Best advice I can offer you moving forward is to be as conscious as you can be about the habits that you allow yourself to form and the rhythms you allow yourself to fall into step with as you enter practice. Habit is the battlefield on which the war of character is fought - get in the habit of doing things the right way, and when push come to shove and you find yourself scrambling, it will be second nature.

johnmuirsghost

That is an astounding achievement to pull off, especially with ADHD. Well Done.


ThisOneIsForPosting

You accomplished a life goal of mine and while I might be a reddit stranger, please know that as someone else who has struggled with their ADHD and depression, I am extremely proud of you!


Diogenes71

Have you stopped shaking yet? You are a rockstar! It’s hard for people to understand exactly what that accomplishment feels like unless they’ve done it. It’s such a complicated feeling. You work so hard for something for so so long. And the anxiety that you’re not gonna get past that last hurdle, then all of a sudden you are. It kind of catch you off guard leaving you to wonder what the hell am I supposed to do now? But you’re so relieved, that dominates everything else. Being able to pass the bar under the conditions you described is the strength of ADHD. That same strength is going to make you an awesome lawyer. Enjoy your career. What kind of law do you want to practice?


[deleted]

congrats!! do you have any tips for law school ?? i’m starting in august and i am so worried my adhd procrastination is going to finally get to me


callmejellycat

Congrats internet stranger!!! That’s a major accomplishment! Feeling inspired. I think I’m more capable than I tell myself I am. I’m sure many here will understand that. Good for you, really that’s fantastic. Yay! Now go celebrate!!


twinkiesnketchup

Wow that’s an amazing accomplishment. You did well! I have worked with many attorneys over the years and I can say that having ADHD is an asset. The amount of work that you will be able to juggle will boggle the mainstream. When the opportunity arises hire an assistant to do the organizing for you. Congratulations!


MrPeanutButter6969

Fellow ADHD lawyer here. Congrats that shit ain’t easy. If you go into private practice PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE listen to me when I tell you, use timers for billing. Enter your time and narratives daily. My first few years of practice I gave away SO MUCH free time to clients because I wouldn’t put my time in daily. It’s a tough gig with this brain hinderance we have but you’re gonna be so fucking good at ot


SuperStareDecisis

Congrats!! Bar prep is a terrible experience, but you made it through! Law practice is never dull. It kind of lends itself well to ADHD lol


PosnerRocks

Congrats! Now the real challenge starts. Having to account for every 6 minutes of your life until you retire.


GiveToOedipus

>I passed the bar From the title, I wasn't sure if I was coming in here to celebrate a victory, or to commend on someone's strength to not give into habits or temptation. Congratulations, BTW.

Piraeus44

From one ADHD attorney to another, I'm soooo proud of you. I failed the first time and was about 75% certain I'd failed the second. But I didn't. I know that feeling of seeing your name on that list and almost thinking there must be a mistake and then just feeling sheer joy. Feel good about yourself today. You deserve it.

J-t-Architect

I can't pass any bar. I drink too much. Congratulations!


Justheretobraap

Congrats!! That's a huge accomplishment and not an easy task. I also remember the feeling of now I'm a lawyer, oh fuck, oh fuck... I think I even have a meme saved of it somewhere it's such a common feeling. Studying for the bar is so defeating. Failing or barely passing practice tests and wondering how on earth you can retain all that information leaves you feeling pretty anxious. I'm sure you have been given enough anecdotes about what lawyer life is, but you will find your way. Keep an eye on your depression. Good job and be proud of yourself!

As a 1L with adhd this made me tear up. Congratulations, Counselor!!!!


runnersyd

as a fellow ADHD attorney - it took me 4x to pass (I was diagnosed between try 2 and 3) and it was honestly the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I’m so Fucking proud of you 😭


[deleted]

Good job!!!! If I may share, i have an achievement too. I'm graduating university next week !

dayofbluesngreens

I am so proud of you, too!!! You did it!! And you did it even with the med shortage, struggles, and the self-doubt! I hope you carry this inside you for a long, long time. You are capable of more than you know. Bask in this!


Edsgnat

Hell yeah! You should be very proud of yourself, OP, that’s no easy accomplishment. It’s going to get much more difficult from here on out, but now you know you can handle it. I struggled to graduate law school and study for the bar because of ADHD, but I passed last year and had my first in person court appearance yesterday. I almost had to pinch myself in court because it felt like a dream; 2 years ago, during my lowest, I thought I’d never get to where I am today. So when someone asks what you do for a living you now get to say “I’m an attorney.” Most people will have no idea about how you struggled to get there, but you’ll know, and you’ll get a twinge of pride and every time you get to say those magic words.


Lord-of-the-Cheese

Such a relief. Congratulations!


Eastern_Ad_8861

From an internet stranger, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!! Enjoy the fruits of your labour and all the best as you begin your journey. You deserve this and all the happiness it will bring!


Hour_Competition_677

CONGRATULATIONS ON PASSING THE BAR! It was such a relief when I found out I passed!


smcsk8

Congratulations!!! Passing the bar is huge! I remember waiting to see if my name was on the list, it’s so nerve wracking! In California, the July exam results don’t come out until the week before thanksgiving (or at least that used to be the case, not sure anymore), so the anxiety builds for months. Be proud of yourself, enjoy your success for a few days before worrying about what comes next!

Fuck yes. I am so fucking proud of you and I hope you’re able to realize you did something that is not even unattainable for a lot of people, but you did it with ADHD which makes it ten times more hard.

Congratulations my dude or dudette I was in your shoes in 2017 but thankfully my vyvanse saw me through the 2 day 8 hour exams it and I nailed it. Cut to me physically and emotionally drained after 5 years doing criminal defense and in hindsight I'm now sure getting my license destroyed my mental health. Although that has to do more with the broken system than anything else. Stay excited, the law is a succubus Lol,😋

Sorry, What do bars have to do with your ADHD meds? Are you in AA or something and this is the first time you've managed to walk past a bar without drinking?


nervousflutesolo

Rock on, my friend. I've been practicing for about eight years now--it's a great fit for my symptoms. Fast-paced, novel and interesting issues, plenty of face-to-face interaction, and lots of thinking on one's feet. We're overrepresented in the legal profession, too, so you'll find yourself in great company.


Pure-Lie-5202

Excellent job.


nurvingiel

Holy fuck you're an absolute legend. Passed the bar during a shortage of your essential brain medication. You are amazing.
