Really accurate description of ADHD and how people with ADHD are treated in the workplace. The author is really good at presenting these cases without them feeling weird. Thank you for translating.

What does she have? I feel like it could be bipolar or depression or ADHD. I don't know in Japan when they started naming things given the last panel.

What does she have? I feel like it could be bipolar or depression or ADHD. I don't know in Japan when they started naming things given the last panel.

It's literally what I translated it as and put in the notes, as far as I can tell.

The Japanese is 人間関係リセット症候群, or "ningen-kankei RISETTO shoukougun". She actually says "I have/watashi ha", but I wasn't sure how to do that bit since I'm not certain how much self-awareness the mangaka wanted her to have, if that makes sense? Given the way she says "No, no, I'm not being 'weird', it's just life being crap", it seemed a bit odd she could consciously go "This is what my exact problem is".

Anyway, if you Google for that, it does actually give you an AI overview, which reads as follows if you MTL it (slightly edited) -

What is Relationship Reset Syndrome? A tendency to impulsively end relationships.
This is a term that has become popular on social media, but is not an official medical name.

Symptoms of relationship reset syndrome include:
Suddenly deleting or changing contact information and losing contact
Suddenly quitting your job
Have negative thoughts
Becoming a perfectionist
"There is no one to whom I can speak my true feelings"
Isolation
"I don't like ambiguous situations and often want to make a black and white decision."
"When something bad happens, I delete my social media accounts."

Possible causes of relationship reset syndrome include the increase in stress related to relationships due to the information-based nature of modern society and the spread of social media.

Here are some ways to interact with someone suffering from Relationship Reset Syndrome:
Leave them alone for a certain period of time
Think about the reason for the reset
Empathize with their desire to reset
Keep talking to them patiently
Listen to them.

I didn't really go very far beyond that - I only saw one or two brief mentions of it from a quick Google of English sources.

Note that none of this is meant to say anybody's wrong to go "Oh, it's just like what happens to people with ADHD" or anything like that. Firstly, I didn't write it, obviously, so I don't know exactly what the mangaka was thinking about whether the character has some other condition too - secondly, I could be wrong but I would hazard a guess she wouldn't mind too much about people taking away a message like "Huh, stuff hasn't changed that much, has it?", or "Damn, it sucks how people still treat anybody who's neuroatypical just as badly" or what have you.

I think that the Reset Relationship Syndrome is a symptom and something common with those with ADHD and certain other disorders as opposed to the possible disorder mentioned; I think the last panel is to allude a bit vaguely and not put an absolute label on her to make it a bit more open to interpretation. The author has been doing the same with Mii having an unspecified developmental disorder. I said ADHD in my comment but yeah there's plenty of things it could be. Her self awareness and symptoms are very common with ADHD though imo. Again thank you for your hard work translating, I appreciate you taking the time to translate a manga about a sensitive subject like this.
