ADHD is a mental illness due to it being a disorder. The lack of dopamine uptake is a disorder, as well the symptoms negatively affecting day to day activities and lifestyle is a disorder. I understand the dislike of the term “mental illness” because it has a negative connotation, but it’s the truth, and overcoming it requires treating it as such. I’ve had to come to this realization myself after years of self hate and blame, and my therapist really helped put it into perspective.
My current issue is that I can’t remote into the machine at all beyond ssh. Any attempt at a session just refuses to work no matter what guide, fix, video, forum post, etc I follow.
