How some of us found out...
Welcome! You’re possibly a self medicating ADHD person.
Otter common signs you should get checked out
do you sit there paralyzed and unable to do a task, even when you want to do it and know it needs to get done?
are you weirdly calm and effective in stressful and panicked situations?
do you get really into a hobby for a while, then drop it forever because you lose all interest?
If so, a diagnosis could be life altering.
Devil’s advocate if you’re an adult and your QOL is fine DO NOT entertain meds without a clear understanding of what they do, what they solve and what you’re looking for.
I got diagnosed at 40. I tried meds. First biphentin then concerta. Then I dropped it. What I need meds for is to assist with emotional regulation which they were making my life substantially worse. I’m successful in a career and as a father. I fail at relationships. I made the executive decision that meds are not for me. Psychology and CBT are far more valuable.
