    I remember the first day taking ADHD meds (biphentin) and laughing to myself that immediately after taking I went back to bed and said “well I guess I do have ADHD”.

    Concerta scared the shit out of me though. At that point I made th executive decision that I made it 40 years without meds. I can manage without them.

  Often wondered, and I know they’re not the same as the real deal but online assessments always tell me I’m not 🤷

    It’s such a sliding scale. I never thought I had until my son was diagnosed and I said “wait he gets a lot of this from me.” So I got diagnosed at 40. Hindsight I very clearly self-medicate with copious amounts of tea.

    Also explains the drug abuse when I was younger, and the failed relationships.

    Only thing I’m still working on is the relationships. I’m shit with them. Self sabotage constantly.
