If you think you may have adhd, and if you have the means, see a GP about it. I was diagnosed about 6 weeks ago and wish I had sorted it out 15 years ago when I first suspected I had it. I’ve probably got a long way to go before I can give advice on how to achieve your goals, but I think it’s an important first step.
- zeitlupe 3y agoMind sharing what the diagnosis entailed for you to have such an impact? Medication, strategies, cognitive therapy? Relieve in the sense of "everything makes (more) sense now"?
- mrmincent 3y agoYeah all of the above pretty much. A huge sense of relief, like having an answer to a question that had been bugging me for ever. We’re still working through medication, figuring out the best dosage etc, but it has been a big improvement to my focus. My screen time on my phone dropped 1.5hours / day as soon as I went on meds. So that’s a measurable improvement. Strategies have been a little hit and miss so far, my psychiatrist recommended recording all of my conversations so that I can go back and relisten to them later, but it’s not something I’m comfortable doing. One thing that has been a huge help was doing Dave Crewnshaws time management for adhd course, just the simple things like maintaining a clean desk, keeping everything in its place has been super helpful.
