Same! My GF convinced me to contact my doctor about it, so we’ll see where it goes from here! Hopefully I don’t find a way to drop the ball on this before the process is done 😑
Same situation and almost same age here. Recently 1 friend got diagnosed and another also talked about it because of her psychiatrist. It got us talking and understanding a bunch of shit makes sense now. But obviously I will keep delaying any kind of doctor appointment or stuff like that.
I have tried to find a doctor about 4 times since ive made this post and have either run into a detail i didnt know, or got distracted by something else. No wonder this shit goes undiagnosed in so many adults lol
Yeah, understandable. I get paralyzed by the overwhelming decision of "how to find a doctor and a good one" and would spend days searching and doing my research just to get tired and ignore it all again since it's simpler.
Wow, I feel both seen and very attacked 😂
I do all of this and more. It's constant, and it's exhausting.
I just want to do what needs to be done without rushing it the night before the deadline
Like I have the attention span to read that
One of the surprising outcomes of finally receiving medication for ADHD was my ability to actually focus on tasks through to completion. I stopped avoiding tasks because I knew I would be able to complete them through to the end without a meltdown. I had no idea how pervasively ADHD was affecting my life.
