It's funny because the ADHD subreddit is memes and upvotes and people talking about how ADHD hurts their performance at work.
The bipolar subreddit is people who want to kill themselves. People who are homeless. People who are broken, have lost their spouses, jobs, lives.
And ADHD gets so much sympathy. It's a mental illness that's so socially acceptable that people talk about it at work. Compare and contrast that to bipolar where you carry a stigma wherever you go. It's nuts.
I can't speak about work but when it comes to upvotes it's most probably because people can relate to most of the stuff because it's stuff that other people also do but ADHD makes them much much more frequent and uncontrollable.
