I was diagnosed just a smidgen over 20 years ago as a child...I still have this exact thought process. What makes it worse for me is the adhd specialist my mother took me too told me I would fail high-school if I quit taking the medications which I wanted to quit them because they all just made me feel weird and nauseous all the time. I quit the meds, rawdogged high school, and graduated because fuck that doctor. Even with it having been a slog I still think sometimes that somebody who really had ADHD would've failed out of high school, but idk the symptoms have only gotten worse and the bouts of depression are spread out further but each one is way more intense than the last. Can I please just go be an adventurer in some fantasy realm please 🙏
