    The big problem with ADHD is that every human will experience the symptoms at some point in life.

    Every ADHD meme is relatable to pretty much everyone, but they don’t understand what it is for those symptoms to basically be your whole existence.

        Yeah it gives me superpowers like once every few months where for a day or 5 I get a ridiculous amount of work done. The rest of my existence is miserable and I hate myself for not just my lack of work productivity but also how hard it is to get myself to exercise, brush teeth, or just get out of bed. And not a single healthy routine sticks. Only the unhealthy ones. Why is it so easy to pick up smoking again but so hard to do anything that’s good for me?

      It is beyond exhausting. Nobody takes my serious neurological disorder seriously. I’m nearly thirty and only now I’m starting to get the medical help I would have needed 20, 25 years ago. To think what could have been breaks my heart.

      • I got diagnosed last year. I’m 41. My entire life would have been very different. In fact, I believe I was diagnosed as a child but my mom never did anything about it or told me.

        Anyway, I can tell that even my wife of ten years thinks I’m exaggerating or trying to make excuses.
