I was introduced to the potential for ADHD as an adult, and now at 33 I have my official diagnosis! Severe ADHD / Innatentive Presentation I’ve never been relived to get a diagnosis of severe anything before, but I feel like I can finally feel sure about why I’ve struggled with these symptoms for so much of my life. Now I can start learning how to deal with and accommodate my symptoms, rather then trying to wrestle this many-limbed thing in the dark of ignorance.

    Congrats. You got a diagnosis around the same age as my wife.

    It’s been a incredibly helpful as it provides a framework for understanding.

    The medicine is helpful as well. Good luck moving forward!

    I found it was a huge help to have an answer and to be able to get more insights into why I do what I do. And I was able to stop seeing myself as having a character flaw and cut myself a lot more slack. Hope you benefit at least as much. Best wishes to you.
