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.
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.
You have ADHD and it is calming.
have adhd and yep. i can sleep when my ritalin kicks in, it boggles other people who use it to “stay awake.”

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

The brain has a harder time lying than a test.
