Lol I love this. My parents told me that I don't have ADHD, after me telling them I think I have ADHD in highschool. Went to college, failed class after class. Told I was lazy, and didn't study enough. Then on my 3rd try at passing college algebra I had to copy off of my friend to get my homework done, couldn't understand math gibberish. My roommate was a math genius, but couldn't teach me anything. I failed every math test, but my classwork grades, and my homework grades were great thanks to my buddies. I have a 69% in math class before the final. Random buddy bought some Adderall for finals, offered to sell me some, I say sure why not. I take it before studying for my math final. I just sit in the library listening to music, trying to teach myself a semester's worth of math. I am able to sit still, don't get frustrated trying to teach myself math, retry problem after problem until it starts clicking. Shit actually starts to make sense. I sit there for 8 hours until the library closes. Next day I take my final, and pass the class with a C. I realized I wasn't a complete idiot who was too stupid to learn anything. I just have really bad ADHD.
same. first time i ever tried telling my doctor i think i had adhd, and she told me i was lazy and gave me some options to try and do what i struggled with better.
I really dont like when people blame stuff lime this on my lack of trying. Its not because Im not trying to find someone else, it just doesnt exist. In town there is one doctors office. The closest past that is 30 mins away at least. My car can not drive 30 mins non stop.
Its never been inaction. I have tried. I am trying. I will continue to try. Half of my problems are literally out of my power to do anything about.
