Thank you. This was helpful to forget the “why” I was not diagnosed when I was a child and focus on the path ahead. I felt short changed and that 2/3 of my life was wasted but I don’t want to waste the rest of my life thinking about it. My takeaway was the part about the friendships. Usually after about a year, I would abandoned a relationship because it became “routine” and in the case of my past girlfriends when their lives seemed better than mine. I cherish my relationships now and try not to take them for granted. Being honest with the people close to me about my ADHD helps me be okay with who I am and don’t feel like I have to be perfect in front of them.
You have described me and my mother to a “T”. I have been diagnosed with a mood disorder in the past and the medication did not really help me and had side effects of drowsiness so I stopped after 2 years. I am starting to recognise myself in the ADHD talks and planning on seeing a psychiatrist to discuss the possibility of being treated for ADHD.
Thank You for ALL you do for so many!
