    I try to be myself with my excitement but it ends up overwhelming people

    Damn. Too real.

    Increasingly in my life, I’ve found this to manifest as an intolerance of frustration. Need a tool that’s not at hand? That project’s never getting finished. Anyone have methods for coping with this?

    And building yourself back out of depression once treatment starts isn’t an overnight thing

    I was diagnosed like 3 months ago at 29

    It’s a night and day difference but it’s still a bit rough at times

    But I’m working on it and now that I’m able to stay focused on a task it’s easier than before, but it’s not easy

      You are voluntarily here and finding common ground with an ADHD meme. If you’ve felt like there’s something different about you and have been waiting for a Sign, this is it.

      Just keep an open mind, since a lot of different things can cause ADHD like symptoms. “I actually don’t have ADHD” is also important information, and a good psychiatrist or therapist can help guide you to wherever the truth lies.

      I’ve had a feeling that I might have it for a while but idk what to do. It seems like there’s probably not a sureshot way to know I have it? And if I don’t, it’ll always feel like an excuse to other people.
