| Comment | I've suspected for a long time that I have ADHD, but was always fobbed off by family and loved ones because "you do well at school/uni/work" so you can't have ADHD. Obviously this is bullshit, but it was enough to discourage me from going to a doctor fearing I would be shot down.
Well, I feel like I'm no longer doing well. I struggle to motivate myself, concentrate, plan tasks, or stay to plan. Basically all the same shite I've always struggled with, but now I can't get by with these issues. I'm so frustrated because I feel like my issues worsening has coincided with ADHD being treated as a fad disorder by social media influencers, and now I again fear I won't be taken seriously.
I don't even want medicated, I just want to better understand myself and maybe get a diagnosis, so I can utilise the mechanisms and strategies that help people with ADHD. Is it worth me seeking a diagnosis as an adult? |
