My kid doesn’t have ADHD

I went undiagnosed until mid-30s, then I finally get treatment, which allowed me to finally finish my degree while making Dean’s List while getting the rest of my life in order.

Thanks for sharing that. I know based on all of the descriptions I’m a classic case. I’ve just been so nervous to introduce more drugs into my life. But damn if that description doesn’t make me want to feel like a new person too though. I’ve dealt with this shit way too long.

Everyone is different, and it can be different drugs and doses to get it right. Part of it recognizing behaviors and working with them.

Thanks. Honestly my behavior and outlook is pretty great considering how potentially severe my individual case is. It’s more the symptoms that drive me nuts. I deal with them well, but I’d rather they be lessened than be constantly contended with.

Thank jeebus my job involves interesting multitasking.

Yeah, turning a strength into a weakness has been key. Continuous Improvement Manager I get to hop from cool thing to cool thing, constantly learning new things. Well, there’s a ceiling and at some point you learn everyone is dumb as hell. Find the thing that pays you to go down rabbit holes profesionally.
