I need major help with this. I am stagnating in life, I don't know where to go next due to this issue....

I wasn't able to get it checked out earlier in my adult life due to being a independent contractor for so long (american healthcare.... yay). Now though, I've got the time and the insurance to cover everything. It's actually a relief to know that it's not just me being incompetent....

This explains why sometimes I'll research something or study German on my days off instead of playing a video game. I thought I was "wasting" my day off and not properly relaxing. Instead, I was letting my brain off its leash to do what it wanted and that's what it picked. That task was actually relaxing for my brain at that...

What's like to have ADHD in a world, or a relationship, that doesn't "meet you halfway"? When having Adult ADHD feels like not being good enough.

This whole lecture is close to 3 hours long, but incredibly informative! The best educational primer on ADHD I have come across. I learned a lot about myself, and what I wish my parents had known when I was growing up.

Am excited to get my dopamine from a new place but damn there's a lot of reading to get to grips with this fediverse thing....

Hello, fellow ADHDers. I'm in the verge of despair and irreversible frustration....

I’m about to start this drug, but due to the side effects, I’m not sure if taking in the morning, lunchtime or dinner time is better....
