I know how much this is affected my life and I have an option to pursue disability. I don't like the idea of being disabled and I also don't like the idea of another 20 years going into my senior years John popping never being able to feel relaxed enough to build up anything on a job and I find myself worried should I contact this lawyer or should I keep pushing along and accumulate absolutely nothing at almost 50. I sure would appreciate some input.

Has anyone received disability for severe ADHD?

hi Vlivezy, welcome to the community. I don't know anyone on disability for ADHD, but you could try. But I heard the application process (for any type of disability) takes awhile and usually denied the first time, and have to appeal it. I also heard that if you use a lawyer the process is smoother.
Do you see a therapist and/or psychiatrist? it sounds like you are feeling low.
I worked at UPS for 2 years thinking i could have the healthcare to address this. But my mental health got worse due to depression in that work environment. Now im in CA hoping to get resources in San. Francisco. I haven't found any free therapy yet
