Mh journaling
So I realized today that part of why school (then work) always felt like punishment was that the hard-work-is-virtue, punitive mindset of my schools really DID send the message I was being punished. Add to that how more/more difficult uninteresting tasks feels punishing to someone with ADHD, how more tasks WAS used as punishment, and how frequently I really WAS being punished for doing things wrong, and I came away, feeling that I was being punished with school (then work) daily.
