I AM MAD.

Sorry for yelling, and I know you understand, but sometimes it really hurts when I get the ADHD tax bill and it's huge - when I've ignorantly been thinking I'm doing good and staying proactive.

I planned ahead and ordered a spare tarp, except I didn't put it on, and had 30 gallons of water spill through a hole in my roof a few days ago. $300 from savings and still drying my stuff out.

I planned ahead and asked for someone to watch my kids so I wouldn't have to miss work today. I missed the text message saying "yes" and ended up leaving work early thinking I needed to pick them up. $100 from next week's paycheck gone.

I planned ahead and bought extra groceries for the month, left them on the counter all night. $150 in meat, cheeses, etc gone.

I planned ahead....

You get it. And this week the tax was because I thought I planned ahead, but the joke was on me. In total all my ADHD taxes this week cost me $825 ( a huge part of my monthly budget ).

I'm mad. Let's try again next week, and go back to the basics. Best of luck and thanks for the community to listen to my vent.
