M500The more I read this sub, the more I think I have adhd.
BetchWell, you might? Relating to memes doesn’t really mean anything but if you find that you relate to most of them then it might be worth digging deeper.
Yeah, they are almost 100% true for me. I probably have it, but I’m almost 40. Is it worth while to pursue?
I’m 45, yes
I never really thought about it before, but since I’ve made it this far in life, if I were diagnosed officially, what change in my life could there be?
A diagnosis isn’t a solution at all, but it does open the door to a better understanding of oneself, as well as a community of people with similar struggles.
I don’t know how well you’ve got a handle on your symptoms, so it’s impossible to say.
In my case mine got worse within the last few years. A cortisol response to chronic stress, it felt like i lost all the gains of willpower and responsibility i had gained, and returned back to my struggles of my youth.
Finally accepted i needed help and am still finding my way, but i just feel more normal now. I never would have given in if i had some semblance of function, my old man’s stubborn distrust of doctors of any sort rubbed off i guess.
For me, it gets rid of the worst of the ‘static’ running around my noggin, let’s me focus without feeling like I’m flexing a muscle, and gives me a lot more oomph to complete tasks i gotta do without my brain flashing the danger sign.
Im just getting started mind you, perhaps I’ll find more changes as i get further along this trail
