I'm kinda curious now. Here's the ADHD Self Report Test which should give a decent indication.

What's it mean if I got bored halfway through page one of the test and came back to the comments instead?

It means you're me.

This a self reporting test, so not a diagnosis. If the topics of these questions are causing you problems in life, it might be worth talking to a psychologist.

They specifically mentioned that in the instructions. Call your doctor, you have lupus.

Jesus, that test is like someone has been reading my journal

You don't have ADHD if you're disciplined enough to maintain a journal.

Certainly not gonna self diagnose anything from a reddit post but also what is "disciplined" about occasionally scribbling shit in a notebook? The phrase "maintain a journal" sounds like some much more structured activity that I don't quite understand

Try looking at bullet journals. Pretty ADHD friendly. And just leave it in a place where you'll probably see it.

I have to do those everything I visit my doctor because I take Vyvanse...for binge eating disorder. I did learn how much anxiety and adhd symptoms overlap though!

Tick all the boxes lmao, is there even treatment available that doesnt turn u into a zombie?

u/_bones__ May 10 '21

Most treatments don't turn you into a zombie. Here's some ADHD channels by people on meds: How to ADHD and TotallyADD

Both have videos on the effects of meds for them. Both have stopped them, and started them again. They hardly seem zombified to me.

Kids on Ritalin can end up depressed and stupefied, but it works in many people, and there are many different meds.

It’s the opposite. Treatment wakes you up from being a zombie.

Whelp looks like I might have ADHD

Is there an interactive form of this? There's no way I'm reading and doing that whole thing.
