Rethinking that I might have this (probably in addition to a mood and/or anxiety disorder), and I wanted to share/chat about this with anyone who might be able to share knowledge or experience. I seem to recall someone from here mentioning it before, but rather than message them or reveal them, I just wanted to open this up publicly for discussion's sake, as well as updates on me and why/where i am when im not here. Haha
So, first thought. I have been following and reading several blog articles on the topic by (?ADDitude magazine. What mostly strikes a chord these days is my hyperfocus in addition to the distractibility and/or inability to easily snap me out of my transfixtion, and my never ending challenge with time management and prioritizing things/knowing what to do first...stuff like that.
so yea. With my writing, it's been great to get that going, but I will find myself doing that for hours. That's not as much the problem though as my Social media (Twitter stuff). I had to make a separate account recently, so I wouldn't be bogged down by all the "noise". Yes, I've tried muting accounts or whathaveyou, but I tend to forget who I mute and some days, I really want to see what they are up to.
Well anyway. Working on the time thing, so I'll end this post. Feeling strangely appreciative (not the word I'm looking for but for time's sake...) of the people in my life today which includes people on this forum. So, I dunno. Pat yourselves on the back for being "fun"! (?) Lol Sorry, I'm awkwardly trying to say something nice. Haha
are comments enabled? (I'm confused on this thing here hmm)
guess not. Ok, how about now? Lol

add/adhd gets talked about a lot these days.. the way i see it.. is if you identify with some of the symptoms/traits, you can learn from that with or without diagnosis. if you feel that medication or therapy would be beneficial, I'd suggest talking to a doctor about it and at least finding out their opinion.
The deeper understanding we have of ourselves, the better, I think.
For 25 years of my life, I was told by crackpot doctors that I couldn’t function in life or succeed at anything without adhd medication. I believed their lies for my entire childhood and early adulthood.
It made sense, because If I failed to take my daily pill, I’d fall apart. But I soon learned that was because my body was chemically dependent on these drugs.
I changed my mindset and told myself that I could do this without meds. I read lots of literature that discussed the myth of adhd. Psychiatrists diagnose patients with it based off a 20 question survey. It’s a scam.
Don’t talk to any doctor. Change your mindset and believe you can do anything! Doctors and therapists like to prey on mentally vulnerable people so they can milk your bank account for all your worth.
