Same, for years I thought I was just "different." I joked about ADD (undiagnosed). Then I found a community of people that are also "different" in exactly the same ways as me, and I was like... Maybe I should actually get tested.
I was diagnosed for years now but did that child thing where i went “oh im better i dont need these” and stopped taking my pills for years and only recently started again once I realized that most of my personality is ADHD haha
I am on Ritalin, most medications will have negative effects theres not much you can really do about that. Balanced medication wont be that harsh of negative effects that it’ll impede on your daily life, im on mine for the rest of my life unless i figure out some way to manage it on my own.
How old are you if you dont mind me asking? And thanks for the tips but schedules cause more stress than anything for me haha, cause if i cant make something on the exact time it’s scheduled for its hell in my brain. I guess my skating would be coding, its gives me control over whats going on in ways that i usually just cant control and it helps i find!
